Yes,she seems to have tripped over/gestruikeld badly.Also,she still didn't recover fully of a bad and very persistant cold,
she looks pale & not feeling good.

Hope she gets through the State Visit this thursday,she will ofcourse,but she's not her usual self right now.

HM,by Royal Decree of april 1st,appointed the leaving Supreme Commander of the Royal Dutch Forces,General D.L.Berlijn,as her adjutant extraordinair as of april 17th.

General Berlijn will take leave on that date.

The new Commander of the Royal Dutch Forces,General Peter van Uhm,was installed yesterday.
General van Uhm and his family suffered a severe blow overnight as his son,23 year old Lieutenant Dennis van Uhm,
was killed by a road-side bomb in Uruzgan province,Afghanistan today together with 22 year old private 1e class Mark Schouwink,
while two others were severely wounded,one of them critical.

My thoughts are with the van Uhm and Schouwink family,as well as the families and friends of the other victims.
