The strange sounding French caption of the parismatch gallery ("Máxima adopts the Prince of Wales") is referring to the coat Máxima is wearing, inside the article it's called a "coat with a Prince of Wales pattern"

The king looks like he has a new haircut and it suits H.M.

 

[Marengo]

I am not sure if it is a new hair cut or that the hair is simply still wet. Whatever it is, it looks better indeed.

 

[iceflower]

It looks new AND wet, I would say

Today, January 13, the second New Year's Reception took place:

No time for nice coats when it's cold, lol.

Is this them arriving prior to the event because last year W-A wore a morning suit

Or has it been "downgraded"?

The majority of the pics are arrival pics, later some pics of Princess Margriet and Prof. Pieter van Vollenhoven's departure were added.

Strange that "retired" Margriet & Pieter do attend these receptions but that Constantijn & Laurentien never do. I think the policy is that in less than 5 years the Princess of Orange will attend, so the old generation is bridging to the new generation.

 

[Marengo]

I suppose they have their regular jobs to attend to?

 

[Duc_et_Pair]

I suppose they have their regular jobs to attend to?

They do not have nine to five jobs and every workplace will understand absences because of their position in the Royal House. Note that all attendants at the New Year's Reception have jobs as well. From a representation of the Netherlands Railways to a representation of the Trade Unions. From a delegation of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to a delegation of the Netherlands Opera and Ballet. All of them have jobs as well. All are attending the New Years' Reception. The CEO of Netherlands Digital Platform (Constantijn) can not attend?

Wasn't it a rumor that there is friction between the royal couple and their brother and sister-in-law?

 

[Marengo]

I never heard of it.
There was some friction between the van Vollenhovens and the main line around the time of the abdication -where Beatrix failed to refer to her sister and brother-in-law even once. But this was quickly solved by the king when he did so in his first Christmas message.

In this very early morning I saw His Royal Highness Prince Constantijn of the Netherlands at the desk of the daily program Goedemorgen Nederland to tell about digital start-ups and e-Economy.

I found it weird that the brother of the King did not attend the New Year's Reception but nevertheless was willing to wake up at 5.00 o'clock or so to be on time in the studio for breakfast news.

I really prefer the royals, and certainly the brother of the King, to keep some distance indeed. It tires me to see royals in programs as DWDD, Jinek, Pauw or even the Breakfast News.

 

[Marengo]

I think that today there will be a new years reception in Dam Palace. I was cycling through the center and in the Raadhuisstraat I was passed by various colonnes of expensive blinded cars. Around the palace there were these ugly steel crush barriers. In the back there was a small group of people, among them a royalty reporter. In the front there were more people, mostly tourists I imagine.

The space between the barriers and the palace walls was filled with cars and minivans. In front of the palace there was a party tent, where guests -who were already arriving at 15:00 h. - seemed to be showing their invitation.
