She looks great. Seems to be a busy day for her. First the Silveren Anjers, then a meeting with the Nobel Peace Prize Winner Prof. Wangari Maathai and her daughter Warijira Maathai (on the far right of this picture)

And tonight the Sahelopera.

What a workload. Amirable!!!

She does look great. Wonder who her new tailor is these days since the old one, her favorite, retired. Anyone know?

HM will be out & about in the northern province of Groningen and the island of Schiermonnikoog (just try and pronounce that!;) )today with a full day schedule.

Het Koninklijk Huis

Ah, Groningen must be pleased, I read today in 'De Pers' that the province was neglected by the politicians during their tour of 100 days through the country. Much to the outcry of Johan Remkes (parlementairian from Groningen).

This is an especially nice picture of HM, looking at a portrait of her mother in Almere: From PPE

I believe HM attended a lecture of Sonia Gandhi somewhere in The Netherlands a few days ago, but I can't figure out, when and were exactly, neither did I see any pictures of the lecture (not online or in newspapers).

I read she was there with Friso and Mabel, but I can't find a picture of them. Just of HM. Stylish as always.

Between it was last Saturday at the university of Tilburg.

Thank you anirac! I agree, HM looks wonderfull indeed. I do wonder why Sonia Gandhi was there, perhaps the received some sort of decoration from the university? It should have been an interesting lecture anyway...

Het Koninklijk Huis

TRH Prince Friso and Princess Mabel were also in attendance.

The photographers certainly love pictures of Beatrix backprofile (helmet and hat), there have been so many of them since the first one in Egypt won a national prize... :). Anyway, good to so HM, even from the back.

She seemed to have a lot of fun there.:flowers:
She also had a few advice for the residents: Schiermonnikoog must have a big problems with savaged cats. HM said that you needn't shoot them, but you can catch them with fish and valerian. The origin advice was from her husband, she added. Very animal-friendly. :flowers:

Between I love this picture
