Official Visit from Australia to The Netherlands: September 26-27, 2006

[HRH Mims]

Thanks for pix Johann! I love outfit of queen and Maxima. They have their style and that's what I love!

 

[Maxie]

I love Maxima's shirt! She has worn it before, during the visit to Marrakech in Morocco last year! So lovely.

 

[Henri M.]

Máxima and trousers... never a lucky combination.

The Queen did look quite radiant indeed.

 

[RachelD]

Wow! Green is a great color on Maxima! She looked beautiful at the gala event.

Yes that green dress, these emeralds : quite my idea of a real Princess

The kangaroo stuffed animals would be a nice gift for Amalia or Alexia or even for the future Prince/Princess!

The Australians agreed and they actually offered it as gifts for the 2 princesses and the unborn child. There was a card attached to each kangaroo saying 'Prinses Catharina-Amalia', 'Prinses Alexia', 'Prins/Prinses ?'.

Thanks for sharing! It's so cute . I'm sure Amalia and Alexia will enjoy them.

im really like CP Maxima's wedding tiara best but im really like any tiara Maxima wores for gala dinner and banquet on their trips

 

[Her_Majesty]

Great pictures!
Amazing to see Máxima in another tiara, again!
She looked beautiful (even if I didn't like the green dress very much).
The Queen looked great during this visit, too!
I like her wearing the black dress. Very nice.

 

[Australian]

Thank you for those photos! I didn't even know there was a state visit! This is the first time I am hearing about it.

GOVERNOR-General Michael Jeffery has hosted an Australia-themed dinner party at the Queen’s palace in The Netherlands.

It is true, that Máxima looks beautiful, but queen Beatrix looks also very good.
