The Prince spoke on our local news station about he cannot forget what happened on April 30th and how those images will forever be with the family. He seemed to get quite emotional and couldn't really answer the question. You can tell how affected the family must have been. They also spoke about how Canada is like a second home to them.

Thanks Lucien, I didn't hear anything about the gala over here so nice to be able to read the speech. Maybe no camera's were allowed that's why. I dunno I'm just guessing.

It seems princess Marilene is wearing exactly the same outfit as yesterday in Apeldoorn (not that it is of any importance of course). Do you know if princess Margriet and Prof. van Vollenhoven made it on time? Where in Germany was the count burried btw?

 

[MAfan]

Where in Germany was the count burried btw?

In the vault of his family in Engelberg Monastery in Grossheubach, Bavaria.

Nice to see the princess 'in action' again. And even nicer that she decided to wear something else than the usual multi-layered matronly outfits from Maison Pauw.

It seems that apart from Marilene, the opening was also attended by Marco van Basten (former soccer player and ex coach of the national soccer team), Ed Nijpels (politician - BTW I thought he moved to Malaysia with his wife Elsbeth) and TV presentor Lucille Werner.

 

[Marengo]

On Blauw Bloed they showed a clip about the event. The princess was interviewed and replied that she isn't as sportive as she used to be but she still plays tennis. Her two eldest children play field hocky (surprise ) and she is now following a course to become a coach.

Marco van Basten said that she is actually his neighbour.

 

[Princess Robijn]

On November 30, Prince Maurits and Princess Marilène are celebrating their 12.5 year wedding anniversary. To celebrate this, the family has released a new picture.
