Happy birthday to Princess Mabel  :flower3:

I find her an amazing woman. Hard to believe when she married Friso she was considered an unsuitable bride and he had to give up his place in succession to marry her. She has turned out to be an amazing asset and example.

Dutch royals apologise after Princess Amalia invites 21 guests to her 18th birthday | Daily Mail Online

Good Lord!! What is going on with W-A and Maxima when it comes to COVID and their private family activities? This is the second time that they've had to apologize for a ridiculous decision during the pandemic.  :ugh: I thought they would have learned after the Greece vacation debacle. Plus the PM is REQUIRED to be involved when they make an error like this one and speak on their behalf.  Come on you two, get it together!

The Dutch royal family has apologised after Crown Princess Amalia invited 21 guests to her 18th birthday party, despite the government telling citizens to restrict their gatherings to four in the face of surging Covid-19 cases.

The heir to the Dutch throne, who had cancelled indoor festivities because of the pandemic, held a last-minute gathering in the palace gardens.

The eldest daughter of King Willem-Alexander had been expected to quietly celebrate her birthday last Tuesday, but it was revealed on yesterday that it was larger than expected.  The family strived to treat the coronavirus rules responsibly with this outdoor gathering and by taking precautions' Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said in a letter to lawmakers, in reference to the party.

'Guests were asked to take a test. All were vaccinated. The assumption was that they would keep an acceptable distance.'

But King Willem-Alexander 'informed me that in hindsight, it was not such a good idea. I think that's a sensible reaction,' Rutte wrote

Yes, a great deal of carelessness there with that decision. I would have thought Emilia would herself have known about the regulations regarding gatherings from the last twelve months at her school. However, her parents should certainly have checked.

Happy 20th Anniversary to King Willem Alexander and Queen M?xima of The Netherlands.

Oh my Lord! It's been twenty years now since they were married.  I remember coming home from the hospital with my newborn son and their wedding photo was on the front page of the Los Angeles Times. He just celebrated his 20th birthday.

Here's a video from their religious ceremony.

My goodness, 20th anniversary. How the years fly! It was truly a beautiful wedding though, only marred a bit by the Argentine junta thing. Maxi looked gorgeous.

Hard to believe that ten years have passed since this sad milestone.  :(

Ten years on from the Dutch royal skiing tragedy ? Royal Central

While many of Europe?s royal families are celebrating many happy anniversaries this year, the same is not the case for the Dutch Royal Family. On 17 February, it will be ten years since the Dutch Royal Family was struck by a sudden and tragic accident.

Prince Friso of Orange-Nassau was the son of Queen Beatrix and Prince Claus of the Netherlands and thus the younger brother of the current Dutch monarch, King Willem-Alexander.
