2008-Apr-30 - Today's celebration.
From left to right: The crown prince Willem Alexander, his wife princess Maxima, the Queen, her sister,princess Margriet,
The weather was not so bad, though the sun didn't show herself. Anyway it didn't rain. My neighbours were all flyng the flag. I couldn't for I haven't got a standard to put the flagpole in.The flag is red, white and blue. The orange banner is added when a member of the House of Orange is having a birthday. The Queen visited two small towns in the north of the Netherlands, in Friesland.

| Posted by readerwil |
| It's just the wind! Her hair was quite normal and straight as ever and beautiful, but it looks a bit awkward on the picture, doesn't it?! |

| It looks as if your Queen is very beloved by her nation. She looks to have a great sense of humor, too. The Netherlands Royal Family seems to be a very happy bunch. :) |

| Thanks Kimmi! Today's queen is much more modern than her grandmother Queen Wilhelmina, who was very standoffish. |
