It is the nastiest thing of getting older probably, you see all the old familiar faces dying.

Wasn't HM 'close', or rumoured to be close, to an elder brother of Schelto Patijn, in the early sixties?

Anyhow I like this rose suit. But I can't tell you why, because normaly I'm not a big fan of this colour.

The Queen needs to be very careful. She's one step away from;

Hi,
I am probably completely off topic, but I trying to find a specific photo of Queen Beatrix and wonder if you could help me?
It is a pretty famous one, a beautiful black and white portrait of her , probably recently done, since you can see all wrinkles and spots, and so much personality... Thank you...

Hello Everyone - Lets remember that this is a thread for Queen Beatrixs' current events, and not a thread on the homes of her children. Let's try and stay on topic please.

Does anyone have any news on the illustrious Queen?

Nothing much untill tuesday as HM will attend the Concours Hippique "'t Peerdespul" in Groningen.

Oh dear, HM has taken inspiration from Mabel of the Bows! She looks very well though, her holidays obviously did her good. I like the colour of her outfit and she seems to be wearing a new (paste?) brooch too.

I'm sure it is not fake. The hatpin, the earrings and the broche are matching.

I think it is sort of half-precious stone with silver and diamonds. A nice set.

I think it is not fake either but I wish she would wear the "old stuff", they are much more beautiful (to me that is)

HM seems to wear these tunics more and more (this one isn´t to bad though). Somehow she reminds me of Queen Wilhelmina in these kind of dresses. Is daughter Vreughdenhil still working with HM (on her clothes)? I believe the last thing of Sheila de Vries she wore was at the Belgian state visit, if that oriental dress was made by Sheila...

It will be a girls night out tonight as HM and Princess Máxima will attend the gala premiere of the Hans van Manen Festival,

Please your Majesty, fire your stylist and burn your wardrobe.
I have found peace with her helmet, but I simply can't settle with that wardrobe...

Ahh, the perks of royalty, I would very much enjoy an evening at the Ballet, thank you very much...
