DeleteBeautiful coat. On these photos she looks like a young woman, not like s.o. at 52.
ReplyDeleteI thought so too!
DeleteWithout her usual heavy make-up she looks more like her younger self: so much better!!
I also thought she looked great. Lovely colour of coat. Why is the King carrying her bag?
DeleteEindelijk , ze zijn er weer na lange tijd vakantie
ReplyDeleteVery nice fitting coat, wonderful colour red for her complexion. Her shoes must be made of very soft leather as you can see her toes on the side. Lovely couple
ReplyDeleteWhat about the KING's health??? Doesn't look well
ReplyDeleteHas he health issues?
DeleteMy thoughts exactly
DeleteJ’adore le rouge-pivoine de ce manteau qui convient à merveille avec sa blondeur !
ReplyDeleteBeatiful cashmere outfit
ReplyDeleteStupid comment !
DeleteThis is obviously a photo taken as they were entering the palace and before they got all dressed up and made up to receive their guests. I must say that I very much like this natural and casual look on Maxima. She looks younger and very relaxed. I like the colour of her clothing too.
ReplyDeleteThe Dutch royal family have been missing from these pages for a couple of weeks so it's nice to see them again.

Superbe manteau
ReplyDeleteFroufrou
Op de foto's van Robin Utrecht is het echt schrikken, zo plasticachtig dat gezicht en die tanden.
ReplyDeleteI like the Max Mara coat,but the Natan skirt is a ‘no’. I can’t think of any royal lady who could make that skirt look good. Similarly to Mathilde in the pink version,this looks as stiff as a board. The hemline looks like it was cut during a blackout. Natan teeters between hits and misses,this is definitely a miss.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see Princess Beatrix. She still radiates warmth in her smile.
Lowri.
