Just out of curiosity, how do we know that HM will be going there?
She will be just in time for Sinterklaas (Dec. 5th) and Amalia's brithday (Dec. 6th); just wondering if she will dress up like Sinterklaas like her grandmother Queen WIlhelmina did... :whistling:.

And now some truly serious matters; Pamela Anderson has written a letter to Queen Beatrix... Artcile in Dutch here. The actress is in The Netherlands to open the 'Miljonair Fair' (sigh) and has used the opportunity to ask for more attention for PETA/ their campaign against the use of fur. In the letter she praises the Netherlands for the strict rules about fur and she and PETA hope for a complete ban on the raising animals for their fur.
