We have a King!

You must have been laying underneath a rock if you don't know about the abdication of our Queen Beatrix, who was Queen for 33 years. The 30th of April was the last Queensday ever.
I am still proud of being from Holland, it's a lovely country and we love our monarchy. Maxima looked lovely with het dress made by Dutch designer Jan Taminiau. I am so proud Willem maried a beautifull Argentinian woman, we need dome latin spirit in this monarchy.

They had lunch at the Rijksmuseum, wich was currently opened to the public after many years of renovation.
I really like the gold Chiavari chairs, many times used for weddings and other festivitys...



Spanish Crownprince Felipe and Prinsess Leticia

Sorry Charles, you may frown your face, but it's still not your turn...


It was lovely to have witnessed this happening and we expect Willem to be a great King.
This was the last Queensday ever in History, next year we will have King's day the 27th of April 2014.

The kings speech

Have spend a lovely day with my mother, this afternoon
we watched the movie "the king's speech"
I never knew so much of the British monarchy and their
history but I was quite impressed by Wallis Simpson, she made
the former King Edward VIII fall in love with her and he gave up the trone for
her as it was not possible for the king marry a divorsed woman
in those days.
i was so inspired with Wallis style for clothes, in
the year 1934 she was very stylish for her time.
