16 SEPTEMBER 2003
Princess Maxima of the Netherlands was the vision of a radiant mum-to-be on Tuesday as she joined her mother-in-law, Queen Beatrix, at the opening the Parliamentary Year in the Hague.

The 32-year-old royal, who is expecting her first child in January, 2004, opted for an outfit in line with her famed vibrant style as she watched the queen make her traditional annual speech at the Hall of Knights. A bright pink dress and pillbox hat was the ensemble of choice for the royal engagement, her growing bump peeking through the folds of her matching overcoat.

Meanwhile, the queen elected to wear a green patterned gown and feathered hat for the stately occasion, which marks the presentation of the government's 2004 budget.

The Argentine-born princess and her husband, Crown Prince Willem-Alexander, announced in June that they were expecting an heir to the throne. The couple tied the knot in February, 2002, in an Amsterdam wedding attended by more than 2,000 illustrious guests.

More from Prinsjesdag ... Queen Beatrix waving from inside the carriage.

[Marengo]

Mabel and Johan Friso lost their right to the throne and do not belong to the royal house anymore, so no need for them on the balcony. They will never attend important state occassions (only family functions).

Thanks for the pictures!

Princess Margaret looks the best of all of them. I can't say I care too much for Laurentien's outfit though. The swirly green pattern ... Though her jewellery was very nice.

 

[Alisa]

Lovely photos...

Everyone looks really excited an happy.

Princess Margriet looks really elegant in her suit. I like Princess Maxima's tweed jacket and dress, seperately but not together.

I think Princess Laurentien's pearl and emerald joker is simply BEAUTIFUL!

Anyone else find it interesting that on the balcony it was WA/Maxima in the center and not Queen Beatrix? Very unusual.

 

[DDD]

No, Beatrix stands in the middle of the balcony,I saw it on tv. She walked to the center of the balcony, her sister an Mr. van vollenhoven next to her, on her left, and then the Prince of Orange and his wife came, they stood to her rightside, but then the last couple came, and they choose to stand on the rightside.....

The Duthch Royal Ladies looked nice.Maxima and Laurentien looked so lovely in that hats.
