What a beautiful picture. The children look like they are having fun

Made me smile when WA said they prepare the children for the photoshoot by telling them that when they behave as friendly as possible it will be done as quickly possible.

And when WA says that the reporters could better ask him what the negative qualities of Maxima are because the list of positives is so big and Maxima makes a gesture of someone playing violin.

The "A-Team" could be a great mannequin-team. They are so beautiful, sweet and lovely.

Interesting that the prince and princess Máxima are more careful in questions about the future of queensday than the other princes and princesses. While COnstantijn and Laurentien said that the day should be celebrated as usual next year, Máxima replied that we should wait for the report that is written and see what the outcome is. With 3 young children I can't blame her for being more careful!

I must say that after seeing the clips I am not sure if this is the right way to do these photo shoots. Much to my surprise the princesses are not intimidated by such an amount of screaming press people, but it seems obvious that WA and Máxima are uncomfortable in exposing their children in such a way (quite rightly so). Some of these press people are screaming as if they are dealing with dogs: 'Amalia, Amalia, take your hair out of your face..... ok then'.

They looked wonderful!!! I can't blame them for not wanting to show the girls more often. Such a beautiful scenery but a lot of wind.

[ashelen]

well, i can understand them not to want this photosessions, and i wonder what the girls think and ask, "why they want photos of us?" i am sure by now amalia knows she is a real princess and grandma the queen but i am sure it is not easy to get the kids for a few moments to do something pose for photos and take off in the middle of their play too, they take a ball, play with the sand and after time to go, i am sure it is not easy and like all this photoraphers screaming the gorls names etc.... i am sure they ask to the parents a lot of questions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i love to see them growing up!

Thanks!

To be honest, I don't think they will come here right now... when was the last time they came to visit? It was 2008, when Ariane got a cold and had to be taken to hospital in Bariloche (and there was some incident with photographers), right?

[susan alicia]

the girls do not look intimidated to me, due to their being prepared by their parents, their parents being with them, a cordon of RVD men and women between them and the press.

WA and Maxima can not be too uncomfortable, it would rub off on the children, they can sense it and they must learn cope with this situation and the agreement with the press that they would respect their privacy included this photoshoot every summer.

Cute kids in cute outfits! I'm not sure why royals dress their kids in matching outfits, but I find it a little disturbing. Is it to make shopping easier or so there's no jealosy among the kids? My sister and I are two years apart but I was always taller than her. My grandmother & mom dressed us alike when we were little and all it did was add to the confusion people had in trying to tell us apart, which has carried over into our adulthood (and is one of my greatest pet peeves).

Maxima was beautiful in blue. Alexia looks like her mum.

I was Playing around on Youtube and Found the video of the photo shoot. the Pics seem nice. but the Video looked better.

[principessa]

The A-Team had stolen the show of their parents.

I enjoyed the shoot because they all looked windswept !
It makes them all look human :-)
