    As always, Princess Beatrix is beautifully dressed. She looks thrilled to have the sculptures of her family in her garden.

      @ Janet.
      It isn't her garden anymore. Paleis Soestdijk has been sold. The new owner is the lady on the 2nd and 3rd picture with the white coat hanging over her shoulders.

    Still looking good and elegant. She didn't had an easy life though. First her husband who was ill during several years and was not that old when he died. Secondly her youngest son who died in a ski accident. I've always admired her for her energy and her smile no matter how she felt.

    Nice to see the former Queen again. Sensible outfit, and as usual, her 'helmet' hair (it is nice for her) is perfectly styled, wish she would pass on the knowledge of how to keep her hair in place to Maxima.

    This is a glorious shade of blue, such a beautiful color. She looks well groomed and attired. Very elegant. Always a pleasure to see her.

    "Helmet" hair as you call it. I prefer this than Princess Anne's weird hairdo and she is about 10 years younger than Princess Beatrix.

    This wonderful lady with natural hair and an unmanipulated face looks young and fresh and proves that botox und other devices are rarely necessary, in fact usually achieve the opposite. Perfect examples are Queen Elizabeth and Queen Silvia, in both directions.
