Yes she is but surprisingly its a nice outfit.
The little girls look lovely in the yellow outfit but pity they are in the same outfit.

That is one huge crown ready to say bye to QB and welcome their new King & Queen.
 
Oh how sad! But long live the King.
 
Gosh, I was in tears!
What a beautifully conducted ceremony! All the states-ministers looked wonderfully smart and formal and the royal family looked so regal! It was wonderful to see Margriet, Irene and Christina there too. And of-course, the Princess of Orange with her sisters were so lovely and very well behaved!!
Long Live King Willem Alexander and Queen Maxima!!
Long Live Princess Beatrix!!
Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah!!!

So did Beatrix,I thought she was going to break down at several stages.
 
very special, historical and emotional moments
 
They are such a beautiful and close family. Very nice to see history unfolding right before your eyes.

I also can't wait to see the other royal invitees recognizing the new king and queen with the best of bows and curtsies, later in the reception for the foreign dignitaries :)
 
What do the other royals in this time? Are they in the hotels or have other program, or they are also in the palace in other room?

Yes but must feel weird. Especially as many of the Crown Prince/sses are close friends/friends and suddenly the have to bow & curtsies.

They look nice and regal! But... I hope this doesn't indicate that Maxima will wear this clothes at the Investiture. If she isn't, then I assume she won't wear this tiara as well.
Now we only have 2 choices remaining, the Stuart Tiara and the Huge Sapphire Tiara.
