On the evening of Monday, April 7, 2025, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima hosted the annual King's Day Concert at the Amphion Theater in Doetinchem. Princess Beatrix, Prince Constantijn, and Princess Laurentien were also present at the concert. Traditionally, the King's Day Concert takes place in the month preceding King's Day. This year, on April 26, the Royal Family will attend the King's Day celebrations in Doetinchem.
This year's concert featured the ensemble Pynarello, with a program showcasing musical talents from Doetinchem and the Achterhoek. Performers included singer Emma Luca, singer-songwriter and musicologist Shishani, pianist Caspar Vos, and the collective De Niemanders. Together, they performed nine pieces in various combinations, blending classical music with genres such as rock, pop, and music from different cultures.
Máxima looks very good. I know that Laurentien likes bold outfits. It is her style, but..
ReplyDeleteThe dress is nice enough but I prefer Queen Maxima in more vibrant colours/flamboyant outfits. It’s great to see Princess Laurentien but she looks like she’s dressed to go shopping!
ReplyDeleteMaxima looks super, great dress and cape. She knows when she wants to really look nice. Beatrixe is always looking good. I don't know about Laurentien maybe she did not get the Memo.

I really like this dress and cape on the queen, and also the lighter makeup. Princess Laurentien wow, quite the bold look. Can’t say I like the jester patterned pants, but the blouse is nice. Her huge earrings coordinate well with the colours.A happy group of people.
ReplyDeleteLe manteau cape est magn6
ReplyDeleteFroufrou
at least maxima now is not so flamboyant with too many jewelries ... like she's too overwhelmed with the position....
ReplyDeleteWhy can't you just write that you like her look time and leave the negativity out of your comment?!
DeleteVery elegant - Maxima is looking great. Not a fan of Laurentien's outfit- it looks strange and messy, no style.
ReplyDeleteMaxima looks stunning in this ensemble (lovely regal cape, and a stylish, intricate dress and fabric - look at the close-up photo) but I agree that she wears brighter, bolder colours better.

È bella Maxima con questi colori delicati, l’abito è adorabile. Invece la scelta di Laurentien è incomprensibile e in genere non mi piacciono mai i suoi outfit, ma stavolta è terribile…forse per essere originale si è vestita al buio?
ReplyDeleteMaxima looks ok, but Laurentien is her ‘overdone colourful self’, both ladies would benefit from good hair advice…..
ReplyDelete6:23 she likes her hair as she wears it.
DeleteAgree 100 % !!

DeleteI'm pretty sure that you can give them good hair advice.
Please, let them and us bloggers know. 👍
I like Queen Maxima's outfit. Dress perhaps a little too long. Granted she pulls off vibrant colors better than any royal I observe. But I like how the switches things up and always keeps up guessing. She's definitely not a boring dresser.
ReplyDeleteOh, stop with these capes please!! So over the top! M’s dress is Nice but too long. Laurentien looks good once a year atPrinsjesdag.
ReplyDeleteIf you watch a video of Maxima arriving at an event, the cape makes perfect sense. She arrives from a warm car, sometimes after a long drive, steps out and drapes the coat or cape on for a minute or so while being photographed then walking inside, then hands it off to a helper. Putting a coat on properly, arms in sleeves etc then taking it off a minute later is more awkward and not necessary for the few minutes. - Mary
DeleteI agree with Mary the cape makes sense, it serves a purpose. It is very handy for warmth without struggling with coat sleeves and quick removal.
DeleteVery elegant and flattering outfit from Natán . Q Maxima looks fantastic !
ReplyDeleteQueen Maxima is dazzling, wow!!
ReplyDeleteMakeup and jewellery are on point.
My only and very minor quibble is why she looks to be wearing a wonderful pair of pumps in pic 2 and then she wears mules in pic 7.
Anyway, I'm gonna look for more pics to solve this mystery.
Pss Laurentien ...well, just nope.
This ia a formal occasion but she seems to be ready for a picnic.
Princess Beatrix and the gentlemen look immaculately groomed.
I see what you mean but on close study its just the effect of a shadow shining through the transparent skirt part of her dress on her leg that makes it look like a high instep shoe. It foxed me too.
DeleteThis Natan is surprisingly good for Maxima. I particularly like the length for her. Very flattering indeed.
ReplyDeleteAgree a flattering Natan
DeleteNice, and the cape perfection!
ReplyDeleteJ'aurais pu donner un avis en faveur de Maxima mais sans cette cape ; à mon avis, une petite veste cintrée de couleur blanche lui aurait apporté une meilleure allure !
