Maxima looks Great! The dress, the jewelry, the upswept hair do, the shoes...LOVELY! Alexander looks nice too :)

I think the hem of the dress hangs weird cause its silk...but totally appropriate IMO for a pregnant woman. She looks sexy without feeling boxed in and showing everything. A lot of Hollywood celebrities could learn a thing or two.

I love the white dress she wore today! Its so 'fresh' looking! Its really cute and I'm assuming appropriate for the weather down there. They look like their having a lovely time.

CP Maxima looks absolutely stunning in that white slip on dress! She looks well recuperated from a day's rest.

I think Maxima has made up for the brown outfit. The printed dress with the wrap around her shoulders was avery beautiful evening dress, also to mention the white dress was very pretty, and liked how she matched it with the dark pearls. The black outfit worn with the beige hat was also very pretty. Not to forget all the otehr pretty outfits she had worn. On this trip she looked happy and looked like she was having a good time. Her wardrobe was great.

I just saw the programme 'Oranje boven down under', there was a small interview with the Prince and Princess. They commented on Maxima feeling a bit tired and skipping a part of the programme: she said she would be of no use there while feeling unwell & she was able to get the batteries charged. The Prince also stated that before the visit he and his wife discussed if Maxima was able to go ahead as planned. She said she wanted to try to join him, but would tell if she wasn't able to do so.

Another part was about their children. Maxima said that HM The Queen is taking care of them (and added that they were in good hands). They call often and usually Amalia tells loads of stories. Amalia has an idea about Sydney because 'Finding Nemo' is one of her favourite films, and some of the film takes place in Sydney.
