Dutch Summer Photo Sessions (2013-2020)

[Muhler]

That sure is a sorry sight!
Have they all been wrestling in the backyard or something?

Do we know what happened?

Short article from BB: Prinsesse Amalia til sommerfotografering på krykker | BILLED-BLADET

Wonder if Amalia has begun to develop and is shy about it, since she's deliberately draping her hair like that. My daughter did the same for the first couple of weeks.

Alexia doesn't resemble so much her sisters!
Her hair seems redder and more wavy, face slimmer...

As always a lovely family photo shoot,would love to see Beatrix joining them next time!

[Marengo]

The RVD did not say what happened to either of them. We just know that the Queen's problem occurred last Friday while the crown princess ankle problems date from yesterday evening.

The next photoshoot will be in Winter, and Princess Beatrix is generally alwsys there. She never attends the Summer-shoot.

Great to see everyone today even though Maxima and Amalia have recently had accidents.

IMHO Amaila has always had a similar face shape to her grandmother Beatrix. I believe that she will slim down as she grows. Also I think she may end up being one of the taller female monarchs one day. Alexia appears to favor Maxima and her family while Ariane is a good mix of both parents IMO.

I think the photos from the photo session were wonderful, and that they really capture their family life. Willem-Alexander has a lovely little family, they appear to be rather warm and loving towards each other.

The AAA's are sweet and it's nice to see that Amalia (and Maxima) managed to make it, though I thought that she appeared to be struggling in some photos. I hope she's not in too much pain. Alexia is very pretty and resembles Maxima more than Amalia and Ariane; who both resemble Willem-Alexander IMO. She appears to have a confident and lively personality.

Alexia is and has always been the beauty of the three......

[Countessmeout]

Love this photo session. The girls are all growing up. And they seem a happy family. Not as outgoing shoot as in the past but considering Amalia and Max are both hurt, that is understandable. Just happy they are all there.

Alexia sure looks like her mom. She is growing into a beautiful young woman. All three girls are pretty, but Alexia is so different. I love the pic where she is sitting with her mom back to back, and dad is sitting, with the other two standing. It really captures her personality.

The princesses have become so big! In a few years time Maxima will be the petite in her family.

The girls are growing up so fast. Amaila too me takes after her father and grandmother. Alexia is a mini Maxima. I can never decide who Ariana takes after she is a true mixture whereas the other 2 have much stronger resemblance to one parent.

Ariana resembles her uncle Constantijn and her paternal grandfather prince Claus.

Lovely pictures & all three girls are growing up so fast. Had a good giggle over Alexia "striking a pose" in some of the pictures of just the three of them or her by herself. W/out a doubt her confidence in herself just beams.

One thing...I love their Patio/Terrace Furniture. The design of it, the shape, plus those big comfy cushions in those gorgeous warm Cinnamon-y Reds & Browns...Just really, really love it!! :)

A video of the photo session. The girls are obviously not enjoying it -at all. And who can blame them if you see the amount of press. Perhaps they should think of another format in the future that is more comfortable for them, as it is they must feel like monkeys in a zoo. Especially the crown princess seems somewhat tense,the king is obviously trying to comfort her.

The author of 'royalblog' the atmosphere between the photographers was 'grimly', with lots of cursing, pushing etc.

In the conversation with the press, the king and queeen revealed a few things:
- The princesses all passed to the next school year.
- The crown princess chose to study Chinese at school.
- The king offered no opinions on the fact that parlament want to keep the Hall of Knights closed during the renovation of the inner court, this means that the opening of the parlementary year needs to be held elsewhere. The king only said he would await the invitation by parlement.
- The king also said that it is the plan that Noordeinde palace will be opened to the public in the next summers too.
- The king did not deny that he and his family will be in Rio for the Olympics this summer.

It seems that the 'container' that the king is working in is the shed they filmed in the beginning, placed close to the house. The garden looks wonderful.

They are pretty used to these press calls and photogs by this age. I wonder if Having mom and big sister not feeling well so maybe as a consequence more snappy and short and cranky than normal is making them act out a little. A very common response for young kids.

In fairness when you see how many media are there you can see why maybe the girls aren't that delighted to be there. That being said they are use to this by now as they've done in for so many years.
