The Royal Family of The Netherlands, Current Events Part 4 (May 2013 - present)

[Stefan]

In 2014 the RVD made it's own recordings of the reception & put those on youtube, whcih were released to the press. It led to an avalanche of criticism about censorship of the press by royal correspondents and the editors of the big newspapers. The palace soon returned to the concept they had before: no press at all and no images either. Just a photo of the king and queen entering the palace and giving a wave and that is that.

But why do they have Press present at State Banquets and even at the Gala Dinner for the diplomatic Corps and not at the New Years reception? Never understand that

No surprise that Mabel attends but I think it is the first time she brings either (and both) her daughter and niece.

Nice to see the princess at 'her' hussars. Her attendance was not announced long in advance but it is very appropriate. And it is good to see her doing well after her fall last week. After a group photo the King stepped away to have a photo of Amalia alone with the hussars.

The princess received a silver brooch which is based on the emblem of the regiment. When asked how her arm was feeling, she said she still had pain but it helped that she was standing. When asked if she would soon starts horseback riding again, she said that unfortunately that was not possible.

Thank you for the additional information!

When asked if she would soon starts horseback riding again, she said that unfortunately that was not possible.

Maybe the questioner should have thought twice about that rather naive question. "Soon" is impossible after such an injury..

Here are some more nice photos and videos:

Pas question de se morfondre indéfiniment au palais.

[carlota]

she seems to be able to take her band of which i guess means she is feeling better? great news.

 

[kalnel]

I give her a lot of credit. She's always very poised.

Question about the king wearing a uniform: I thought I read that once he became king, he would no longer wear a military uniform. Evidently that's not the case. Was this a special exception or something?

 

[Somebody]

He only wears it at military occasions.

 

[Alisa]

she seems to be able to take her band of which i guess means she is feeling better? great news.

I noticed that too. She was probably in alot of pain by the end of the event.

This final bit is rather funny. The whole regiment screaming 'Amalia' after the prompt 'Catharina'... Amalia clearly didn't expect that.
