Queen Beatrix attended the opening of the new Louwman Museum in
Den Haag, July 2nd, 2010.
The car museum contains the private collection of Evert Louwman and
is a compelling picture of the possible development of the car since
1886. There are over 230 historic cars.

Lovely summer look the Queen was wearing!

Queen Beatrix was very elegant and nice to the players. It's nice that they receive the gratitude and consideration from their queen after a good result in a World Championship.

Totally agree with you, cristine! It's a really nice gesture that the
team was received at the palace. Judging from the pics I would
say that the Queen also enjoyed it, being surrounded by that many
young and sportive men..

Here's an additional gallery from ppe!
