dutch singer/royalty fan extraordinaire johan vlemmix has made an ultra cheesy ode in honor of Amalia's birthday. its called "amalia you wave so sweetly at the camera" to listen, follow the link, scroll down and click "hier" Welkom op de johan vlemmix website I feel a bit guilty posting an...

fantastic photos but did anyone notice that de haag's royalty worshipping deputy mayor has struck again?

that's suprising. during the time of Felipe and Letizia's engagement there were many rumors that Elena and Jaime were going to wait to anounce their split until after the wedding. that was several years ago so I had assumed that if they'd had problems they'd overcome them at this point. i...

e dont know what she's like. she might have a really sparkling personality. all i really know about her is that she seems to prefer geriatric unflattering outfitis. but that's easily remedied. i've read that they've known each since childhood. that's a good foundation for a happy marriage.

I have general question: do you guys think the popular perception of Kate Middleton has altered significantly since the supposed break up earlier this year? I feel like I used to see more stories about her as the quiet, smart, dignified girl who influenced William to avoid the drunken excess...

I was underwhelmed by C-C's behavior. its natural for kids to be rambunctious but he was really pretty bratty. perhaps he's spoiled because he's the only male grandchild. Question: did anyone else think this baptism was "grander" than Alexia's? the church seemed bigger, there seemed to be more...

I like the ring in and of iteslf. but i dont think it makes a good engagement ring because it will clash of many of marie's outfits. a simpler ring with just one or two colors goes with everything.

wow. I am so appalled at all the nasty comments being directed Marie's way in this thread. I am tempted to go on YouTube and put up my own "Chris Crocker style" video: "Leave Marie alone. She's a human!"

she's 31 years old. she was born in 1976.

Her behavior is different from mary , maxima etc but I personally like the differences because i think those were different situations. this is joachim's second marriage, he is older and there are children involved. he's already had his big romantic wedding when he was younger. its all different...

what did she say or do that showed a lack of discretion?

ok, she's said "i love joachim. he's so wonderful" to the press a few times when they followed her around. is that really so bad? does that make her "indiscrete"? she's never said anything remotely controversial over these past 2 years. i think that shows tremendous discretion. she is doing...

i think you're right. it will never end. and comparing is a big part of the way we humans process information.

why does everyone keep saying that? they look alike but their backgrounds could not be more different. they will bring a very different style to their different roles. when Mabel and Friso got engaged (and before all the scandals burst loose) I dont recall people saying that Maxima and Mabel...

did Marie give any indication of her career plans? does she plan to continue with a job in the private sector or will she take on royal duties full time?

i think this is great news! I am so happy for them. It's kind of unfortunate that she and Mary look so much alike as this will doubtless lead to a lot of Marie v. Mary of the kind we're already seeing in this thread. Let's try to judge Marie on her merits as a person shall we? and not on...

Ok that is interesting. thanks so much!

Maxima's brother Juan must be 24 right now. does anyone know what he's doing? where does he live? thanks!

I am a bit hurt that they skipped the Washington DC leg of the trade misions' US visit. Fred and Mary may think we're a bunch of cold, political bureaucrats, but we have feelings too.

does anyone know a bit more about this school? does it have any religious affiliation?

we definitely won't see them until their dad becomes king. i think it'll depend on how they are then. i suspect they wont start coming till they are 18.

poor annette. it happens to the best of us. she joins CP Mary and King Carl Gustav in the "lead foot club." are there any other royals who've been caught speeding?

I want to second your book recommendation. its scholarly and well researched book, yet an unbelievable page turner.

I disagree that this is just a case of some people came and some people some people didnt. ALL the other heirs to the thrones who are in Willem Alexander's generation came. they thought this was an important enough milestone in their colleague/friends life to take the time. So F and M were...

I have to disagree. this isnt just any government property, its a palace that until very recently was occupied by members of the royal family and is closely tied up with dutch national and royal history. I love the idea that Het Loo isnt just a sterile museum now, it's still serving its...
