    Just imagine it without the bows on the sleeves and it turns into a classy jacket

    She looks lovely in this outfit, I am not keen on all the bows, but I still like it on her. Nice to see her with her attentive boys.

    What a lovely celebration. Princess Beatrix comes across as genuine and fun in photos and it’s great to see the sparkle in her eye.

    Princess Beatrix looks very elegant in her red white and blue ( Dutch flag)jacket. Without the bows it would be better but at the other hand it gives a kind of cheerfullness. The sons look great except for that I am still hoping already for years that WA will shave off his beard.

      Why would he ? All the other kings with a beard aren't ask to shave theirs either.

      Some people just prefer a clean shaven man. Just because others have beards doesn’t make it appealing.

    Beatrix is 88. I didn´t realise that Claus was 12 years older.

    Ja, logisch dat ze daar zo verwelkomd worden, ze zijn meer duits dan nederlands.

      In België zijn er ook veel Duitse voorouders in de Koninlijke familie. Ook in het Verenigd koninkrijk veel Duitse voorouders te beginnen met koningin Victoria. Later hebben ze de Duitse familienamen veranderd in Windsor.

      Zelfs bij deze gelegenheid kan deze 'poster' zich niet inhouden ... Vraag me oprecht af welke 'kick' iemand krijgt van deze continue negativiteit (en dat betekent niet dat men niet kritisch mag zijn, maar als het altijd dat geval is, vraag je je af wat iemand op deze website te zoeken heeft ....)

    P.Beatrix loves her bows, lol. She has them on so many of her outfits and they are like her signature embellishments. I say good for her! Let her wear whatever she wants that makes her happy. She looks very well.
