Mabel!!!!!!!!!!!

[fairy]

When she emerged in the Royal levels, by dating and eventually marrying Friso, she came across as an ambitious lady who exactly knew what she wanted. And over time she built up an impressive resume, for example actively involved with The Elders.

Currently I would say she is a strong woman, after all that happened. And in particular more appropriate in this case than Mosh.

She certainly comes across as very ambitious. It is actually a character trait that would be much admired in men, but frowned upon in women. She seems to have a knack in networking and finding people who are important and give her the challenge she wants.

November 23
Mabel of The Netherlands attended the IDFA Film festival to meet teenage Afghan Rapper and activist Sonita and watch her movie in Amsterdam.

The film, Sonita, is the story of Sonita Alizadeh, an illegal Afghan refugee living in poverty in the suburbs of Teheran. Sonita Alizadeh is a force to be reckoned with. With a poet's soul and activist's passion, Sonita uses her rap lyrics and powerful voice to fight child marriage. She succeeded in avoiding a marriage, and embarked upon a journey to end child marriage in the world.

I guess Frodo doesn't know how to deal/handle with Mabel when she would be his wife. IMO Friso had the intellectual and related luggage to be a good sparring and supporting partner for Mabel. Someone who was very similar.

Rumour has it that Mabel has a new love interest, apparently somebody in the circles of the Greek royals.

One Dutch gossip magazine suggested it would be Arpad Busson, the ex of amongst others Elle Macpherson and Uma Turman.

Sorry, and not wanting to speak ill of the dead, but intellectual, he wasn't.

I always heard he was a smart guy. Or are you using intellectual in a different way? Like he was book-smart but not 'street smart'?

Depends on which definition of intellectual is used.

From 1986 until 1988, he studied mechanical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley (USA). From 1988 to 1994 he studied at Delft University of Technology, where he obtained an engineer's degree in aeronautical engineering. And as far as I know one of the more difficult studies in the Netherlands. Additionally, he earned an MSc degree in economics from Erasmus University Rotterdam.

He was known as a 'studiebol'. In other words a kind of a nerd or geek, who was intelligent enough to fulfill multiple (difficult) studies.

well...at Uni I always thought that he had nothing of his father's charming and genteel diplomacy and none of his mothers charisma. And i never considered him studious. But he might have been in an awkward phase of his life back then.

Madeleine posted this on Facebook:

"Congratulations Princess Mabel of Orange-Nassau for your work to end child brides around the globe" ‪#‎girlsnotbrides‬
http://www.girlsnotbrides.org/

On Monday Madeleine used the account to pay attention to another London-princess who work with difficult issues related to children, namely, Princess Mabel of the Netherlands.
London-based Mabel has for years worked with the campaign "Girls Not Brides" working against child marriage and for the girls to have a safe childhood.

July 19
Mabel attended the 21st International Aids Conference in Durban, South Africa. Every year the International AIDS Conference has a dedicated theme, this year is "Access Equity Rights Now".












I posted also some pics of Tessy attending the same conference in the respective thread and mentioned there that it would have been great to see Marie at this conference. Would have given her and her patronage more visibility.
