King Willem-Alexander and queen Máxima are to visit British queen Elizabeth on July 10.
The one-day visit to London is a getting-to-know-you opportunity, says state information service RVD.The RVD also announced visits to Denmark (June 25) and autumn trips to Norway and Belgium.

Some dutchmen of Surinamese descent are angry that dispite the attendance of the king and queen, they did not place a wreath of flowers. The government also didn't apologise for slavery. Now, I find apologies for things that happened 150+ ago rather hollow and meaningless. But why the government didn't want the king to place some flowers on the monument is a mystery to me.

The president of Suriname says that it is time to forgive the Dutch. I don't see why I should be forgiven for something I didn't do though. All the people who were involved in this horrible thing are long dead. That a corrupt drug trader ánd murderer like Mr. Bouterse talks about forgiving in general would be amusing if it wouldn't be so sad.

They looked very concerned at yesterday's visit, and that's understandable, considering it was one to a Jewish community. - Both look pleasant and professional, which is the way to go.
Thank you for posting the pictures!

King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima have received Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon and his wife at Noordeinde on August 27, 2013. Princess Beatrix later joined them for a dinner. Ban Ki-Moon is in the Netherlands for the celebration of 100 years Peace Palace in Den Haag today.

I notice that Maxima is wearing black. A few days ago Beatrix and Laurentein were at en evening function; but also in black.
WA is not wearing a black tie though....
Is there official mourning period for the family / royal court when they will always be in black? If so, how long is it?
Or is the wearing of black just a coincidence!!

I don't think that the ladies wearing black was just a coincidence. W-A, on the other hand, IMO, may have made a personal decision that it was time to move on.

No,we don't have Court mourning here,but the black shows the family is still in mourning obviously so soon after the tragic death of Friso.
HM wears a grey tie,which is perfectly allright due to circumstances.

Maybe it is just me, but the King looks tired and sad.

i was going to ask if they were in mourning, but since the king is wearing a grey tie, i thought it wasn't the case. but maybe, protocolarly, the black tie is only needed for the actual funeral?
