Her name is officially Margriet, but indeed an English translation of the name would be Margaret.

[Lady Alice]

She looks fantastic! She's indefatigable.

[Florine]

Margriet is one of my favorite royals. Duty and elegance. Definitely Queen Juliana's daughter.

Prinses Margriet woont op de Canadese Oorlogsbegraafplaats in Bergen op Zoom de jaarlijkse herdenking bij voor alle Canadese militairen die tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog omkwamen en in Nederland begraven zijn. Tijdens de herdenkingsdienst legt de Prinses een krans.

On October 27, 1944, Canadian forces liberated Bergen op Zoom and the Brabantine Wal. This operation was part of the Battle of the Scheldt. The Battle of the Scheldt resulted in thousands of deaths, wounded and missing, including over 6,000 Canadians.

Princess Margriet skips memorial trip to Canada due to broken arm

Princess Margriet and Pieter van Vollenhoven are canceling their planned visit to Canada in May. The princess has not yet recovered sufficiently from a broken arm she sustained last month, the Government Information Service (RVD) reports.

The trip was scheduled from May 9 to 12 and would have been dedicated to eighty years of freedom. Visits to Ottawa and Toronto were among the things on the program. According to the RVD, the trip is "unfortunately not responsible at this time" given the princess's health situation.

The 82-year-old Margriet was injured during the Hollandse 100, a sporting event organized by her son Prince Bernhard. She fell on the ice rink in Thialf and broke her left arm.

According to the RVD, Princess Margriet attaches great value to the commemorations in Canada. The Princess has often publicly emphasized the importance of Canada's contribution to the liberation of the Netherlands during the Second World War.

I admire her for still skating. Hope she revovers soon.
