Dutch King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima and their three daughters Princess Amalia, Princess Alexia, Princess Ariane and Princess Beatrix, Princess Mabel, Countess Luana and Countess Zaria sail along on their private ship The Green Dragon (Groene Draeck) during Sail 2015 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands on August 22, 2015. |
The Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William were the first royal couple, who showed up on a sailing event. They were authentic and all the others.....
ReplyDeleteIf you think so…
DeleteCP Mary and CP Frederik competed against each other a few days before their wedding in 2004.
CP Frederik, King Felipe, King Juan Carlos, King Harald(?) (and more) participated in real competitions over the last decades.
We have seen the Royal family of the Netherlands on the Groene Draeck years ago.
I'm sure I missed many more Royals.
Catherine wasn't the first Royal who was present at a sailing event and she wasn't the first who wore a red dress, white coat, nude high hells etc..
And she doesn't have to do this.
The press really tries to manipulate the readers concerning the Duchess of Cambridge.
But this is just my very own opinion...
SO WHAT, prince William & the duchess of Cambridge are the most BORING ROYALS of all the young royals!!!!!!!.
DeleteSo, what do you u want to say..... that every ROYAL now is copying them....
ReplyDeleteHahahhaahhhaa If I was a ROYAL I would NEVER EVER copy Kate and william, why would I???....
A question for the 1st commentator: ''Are you jelous that Maxima is the most prettiest and stylish ROYAL!???''. . .
ReplyDeleteExactly..WHY would they copy kate and william???? I actually think it is the opposite!! kate and william r copying Maxima & her husband!

DeleteGuys guys guys... don't you know that using capital letters and multiple exclamation marks and questions marks is the online equivalent of shouting? no matter what you say, it just makes readers switch off. If you want anyone to listen, play nicely.
Nasty & bitchy personal opinions should be deleted from this website!!.
DeleteOn other European royal websites, offensive & personal nasty opinions are deleted!. Bring it on this website.
DeleteThis is not true. The Spanish Royals f.e. sail many years among other things at Olympia. Also the Norwegian Royals. William and Catherine are not the first one, don't hype them.
ReplyDeleteYikes, all that long hair blowing around. I can see that as being potentially dangerous for the girls - blowing over their eyes, getting caught in something. Your family is on a boat, be careful. Danger doesn't care if someone is royal or peon.
ReplyDeleteYes, King Harald competes in sailing. He has taken part in the Olympics too (just like his father King Olav), and I think he won a bronze medal as well....
ReplyDeleteKing Olav got his first boat at 15, he won the gold in 1928 Olympic games. He had 75 year experience as a sailor before he died in 1991. King Harald got his first boat from his father i 1947, age 10. He participated in Olympic Games in 1964, 1968 and 1972. Won the world championship in 1987 and 2008. European Championship in 2005. And this summer he got the silver in Sira Cup in World Championship in Genève. Queen Sonja used to sail a lot to she is norwegian champion in sailing from 1985. So will and Kate..laughing
DeleteEx King Constantine of Greece was a keen sportsman. In 1960, at the age of 20, he competed in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, winning a gold medal in sailing (Dragon Class) ...........So........Kate and William....aren't the first.....at all...!!!
ReplyDeleteActually ,Constantine of Greece (former king of Greece) has won an olympic medal in sailing!! ;)
ReplyDeletefrom Wikipedia: As a young man, Crown Prince Constantine was a keen sportsman. In 1960, at the age of 20, he competed in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, winning a gold medal in sailing (Dragon Class) .
OMG such bickering! Each royal, queen, princess whatever, has her own style, her own hobbies and they do what they want as a family and what they have to do as royals. Nobody is better than the other, or prettier, or dresses better, or has a nicer family.... Jealous much some of you? smh
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, it's gone to far with personal insults on the royal families.
DeleteOhh, yes you are all right. They arent´t copying each other.
ReplyDeleteI didn´t thought a lot. Sorry about that.
Lovely to see Mabel smiling!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! Sail Amsterdam 1015 was a very nice event and it was a surprise that the royal family showed up. Also very nice to see the Queen mother Beatrix as captain of her own ship. Still going strong!
