[An Ard Ri]

I was reading that the queen and her daughters attended

Maxima, Alexia and Arianne paid an official visit to the Holy Metropolitan Church of Agios Nikolaos in Spetses.

The Queen should have covered her shoulders.

Were they there as Tourists or for the Feast of the Assumption ceremony?

King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima spent a weekend in Würzburg, Germany (it sounds as it's been the previous weekend):

That must ahve been a great surprise for the tour guide! I am happy she got a picture out of it. She says her grandmother has printed the photo and put it in a frame.

Apparently they had a normal tour with two other people.

Willem-Alexander and Máxima clearly love all black labs. IIRC, it was one of their first pets as a couple. I seem to recall one in their engagement photos and even as the girls grew up there was always a black lab at the photosessions.
I wonder if this new addition is a descendant from one of their earlier black labs. I do love the name Jagger!

This was reported last week too in the gossip press. Rick Evers, royalty reporter, said that he had enquired and that his sources around the court firmly say it is all nonsense. When a luxery apartment or house here in Amsterdam doesn't sell we get some of these articles too, a foreign celebrity takes an interest... all of it bogus of course, but a tactic by the real estate agent to generate attention for the property. We will see if that is the case here. In the IMO small possibility that this news is true, it must mean that the King and Queen have taken a leave of their senses.

QUEEN MAXIMA ARRIVED AT ABC!
Yesterday we experienced one of those moments that leaves you trembling with emotion.Amidst the lovely chaos of the kitchen… walked in Queen Máxima of the Netherlands
We will never forget what we felt: pride, nerves, surprise, and immense gratitude.That someone like her chose our little corner of Argentina for lunch… is a gift that will always be with us.
Thank you, Queen Máxima, for the visit, for your warmth, and for making us so proud of what we have built. @koninklijkhuis
And thank you to you, our community, because without you this dream would never have grown like this.
A historic day for us.
