It is obviously all about her , not the family or even the husband. I quite like that.
Gorgeous clothes, flawless skin, perfect and in control as ever!!!  |
I couldn't agree more.
I haven't seen the pictures of Maxima which some posters have referred to, but what is the purpose of wishing for similar setups? Let the birthday girls decide for themselves what they want, I'd say.
Besides - less than a month ago we've saw lots of pictures of Mary in gala outfits; perhaps she thought that was enough for now?

Well, Ziggy is absolutely beautiful and Mary would certainly make a good soccer player with that high kick of the ball. The light is wonderful in the outdoor photos.

I'm with you. I don't pick up a model or hollywood vibe at all. Very nice pictures that show us Mary as she turns 40. Love them!

It surprises me there is no carpet or a rug in her office space. Beautiful orchids in the vase [the white variety we call here - Cooktown orchids - named after a town in Qld]and a nice relaxed Princess sitting on the desk.

Aren't those orchids gorgeous? They're phalaenopsis; also known as moth orchids.

I bought the newspaper and there is the most fantastic private pictures of Mary, Frederik and their children. From their private tour in Tasmania, one of the twins on the summer cruise and a really sweet picture of a very pregnant Mary where Isabella caress her mothers stomach. It is a really good interview with a very honest Mary.
I'll try to upload the private family photos soon

Looks like Josephine is clapping her hands sitting in the big chair next to her brother Vincent. Hopefully clearer pics of these will emerge. Thanks for posting them Roskilde. And Isabella is a real card. Just look at her face patting the belly. I bet she has a big personality.
