She does!  The girls are all lovely. I think the youngest is going to be the tallest.  She looks like her grannie!

One of my favorite Dutch events is the annual "Make a Difference Day" or as it's now known NL DOET. This is where volunteers throughout the country go to do clean up work at schools, retirement homes, parks etc... Typically the monarch/consort and other adult member of the Royal House and Royal Family participate.

Here are the King and Queen today at a cultural center.
