Traditionally our queen reads out the plans of the government on the 3rd Tuesday of September. She has her very own style. I quite liked what she wore today and princess Maxima was absolutely gorgeous in her green dress. The pictures are not doing her justice..
Queen Beatrix is wearing a pearl grey dress with leaf pattern in three shades of grey and a matching feather collar. The dress has pearl grey inner sleeves. She is wearing a toque made of silver coloured sinamay.

Prinses Máxima is wearing a sea grean dress made of of crêpe georgette. It is fully embroydered with glass beads and has asymetric drapes. The hat is made of a felt Borsalino in soft beige nerts colours.
The Prince of Orance (prince Willem Alexander) is wearing the special ceremonial tenue of the Royal Air Force in the rank of commodore-flyer.

Picture 4: the public loves to dress up for this day...
Picture 5: some of the public dress a little bit more stylish in their own way.

Who loves hats and fascinators: Here you can see the picture galleries of a couple of years. I don't know when this years hats will be shown http://www.prinsjesdag2011.nl/.....otogalerij
