Good outfits - while the blankie is back at the second event (and it has been an abysmal summer so far) neither jacket has these atrocious bat-sleeves the QueenBee usually favours. So well done!

Abdication clearly agrees with her. And it seems as if so far she’s enjoying pretty good health and is able to get out and about to do all kinds of fun things. I think there are several other senior Royals who would do well to follow her lead
Plus, I really love that intense cobalt blue on her. Over the years, I’ve not felt she had the best color sense in terms of clothing, but this was a winner for sure and the fact that she’s wearing one of those hats makes it even better.

https://www.nu.nl/konings...voor-bijna-3000-euro.htmlLoosely translated as: Drawings by young Princess Beatrix auctioned for almost 3,000 euros
By our entertainment editors Oct 2, 2024 at 08:21 Update: 3 hours ago
Drawings that Princess Beatrix made when she was young have yielded 2,985 euros at an auction. The two sheets were auctioned on Wednesday evening. One of the works is called Field with dogs, made by "TVO", as can be seen at the bottom. This abbreviation stands for Trix van Oranje. The other artwork is one of ballerinas, made with pencil, watercolor and collage.
Auction house Van Spengen in Hilversum sold the works. Beatrix probably made them in her early teens.
The drawings were kept by a descendant of a former maid of Queen Juliana, who had received them from Beatrix at the time. The family would like to see the drawings end up with a true enthusiast and collector.
Two years ago, drawings by the former queen were also auctioned. The five works were then sold for 8,000 euros

I think we sometimes refer to her as Oma (grandma) Trixie. I know that this is how I think of her since her abdication.

https://www.nu.nl/konings...ltijd-heel-blij-hier.htmlLoosely translated as: Princess Beatrix on visit to Sint Maarten and Saba: 'I am always very happy here'
By our entertainment editors 17 Nov 2024 at 12:44 Update: 2 days ago
Princess Beatrix thought it was "fantastic" to visit Saba and Sint Maarten. The working visit of the 86-year-old former queen focused on the work of the Dutch Caribbean Nature Alliance and social initiatives. "I am happy with a visit like this to get a good impression of the enthusiasm of the people here," Beatrix told the journalists who traveled with her. "It is always cheerful and pleasant here. I am always very happy."
An important part of the program was her visit to the Dutch Caribbean Nature Alliance (DCNA), an organization that is committed to nature conservation on the Caribbean islands. Beatrix was impressed by the efforts for environmental protection.
"I am so happy that people here are serious about nature and believe that they should do their best to keep it beautiful," the princess said. She also emphasized the importance of support from a distance. "It is nice if we can help them a little bit every now and then."
The visit began on Wednesday and Thursday in Sint Maarten, where the princess met local initiatives and residents. On Friday, Beatrix was on Saba, where she visited a maritime research laboratory and a botanical garden.
It is not yet clear whether the princess will return to the islands soon. "I never plan far ahead," she joked.
