[SLV]

Lovely pictures.

Very nice pictures of the princess and her family indeed. Since the caption says that the picture was made in their home in Wassenaar I suppose that they are renting a house there until the house on the Horsten estate has been restored.

Princess Margarita has designed a carpet for Care & Fair, an initiative against illegal child labour in
the carpet production.
During the presentation of the carpets at the Conservatorium Hotel in Amsterdam on March 9, the
building had to be evacuated due to escaping chlorine, but all turned out well (see the article link).

Happy 5th birthday little Julia Ten Cate!

The Volkskrant published an article with the headline 'Margarita denies her own words' based on a article by the postonline with the more outspoken headline 'Margarita tamed by the house of Orange for good':

'Margarita ontkent eigen woorden in bandopname met Beatrix' - Binnenland - VK
Margarita voorgoed getemd door de Oranjes | ThePostOnline

The princess appeared in court in Amsterdam in October 2012, as a witness in a courtcase against her ex husband Edwin de Roy van Zuydewijn. During the hearing she denied some statements made in a taped conversation with Queen Beatrix in 2002. A tape of which the content was later made public by a tv programme in 2006.

In the conversation with Q. Beatrix the princess says that she and Edwin are being bugged. The queen denies this, wonders why on earth they would be bugged and adds frankly that the two of them are not interesting enough to be bugged. Margarita also is supposed to have said that her brother Carlos is a psychopath who used to beat her & her siblings up.

The princess now claims to have an excellent relationship with her sister and brothers. 'Also with Carlos, he never beated me up'. She adds that she could remember very little from the conversation with her aunt. 'There was a lot of noise around us and I was very angry in those days'. And: 'I have never said what you just quoted about Carlos'.

I wonder who leaked this report, I suppose the obvious one to pont fingers at is Edwin and his group of republican supporters. But maybe an employee of the court leaked it.

---
Edwin seems to continue his quest for justice and blames the dutch state and RF for ruining his carreer. Though it has become quite clear that his business dealings were in trouble even before he even met Margarita.

Princess Margarita gave an interview to NRC Handelsblad, the best newspaper of the country (at least until a few years ago, when they were taken over by a Belgian publishing house).

Some info:
- She says that the relationship with her family has normalized completely. The trust was hurt, she needed time to win it back. That they gave her a 2nd chance, the princess found 'grand' and 'moving'.
-The princess says that she became a different person. She has more energy and confidence than ever before.
-Her aunt Beatrix, almost 76, still rides horses like the best of them., Who wants to keep up with her needs to be fit. Princess Irene, 74, also still rides horses.

I take it that the Princess is back in Aunty Beatrix's good books following all that went on a decade or so ago!

I'm sure Margarita has recited a few royal Mea culpa since then.

[Marengo]

She did, she has attended most royal events over the years and Queen Beatrix and the rest of the family was present at her 2nd wedding to Tjalling ten Cate. Still, her behavior was so outragious that I think that they accepted her back quite soon again, fortunately.

Her ex husband in the mean time is still fighting his windmills.

I believe that the princesses are neighbours so they could carpool to Amsterdam. Addy van den K. designed the bridesdress of Pss Carolina btw, and also some outfits for Pss Irene and Pss Margarita.
