This week it was Sustainability Day. We look at Máxima’s sustainably produced clothing. In the series of wedding dresses, a number of which are shown in the Bag Museum, we look at Queen Elizabeth’s ‘special wedding story’. And Frederik and Mary received guests for the first time during an incoming state visit.
Máxima and sustainable clothing? Does that even go together, a queen and sustainability? More about that in a moment. First we look at King Willem-Alexander and King Philip who opened the new lock together in Terneuzen. King Philippe gave a special gift to King Willem-Alexander: a photo of Queen Juliana and King Baudouin, who opened the East and West locks together, also in Terneuzen. Sympathetic: a thoughtful gift with a historical touch.
Back to Maxima. Máxima and sustainable fashion. Does that exist? Does she pay attention to it at all? Opinions are strongly divided about it.

There is a part of a child in every person. A bit of spontaneity that never goes away. Wonderful picture: King Willem-Alexander catches pieces of paper in his hands during the opening of Mediavaert.

Imminent succession of the throne
A change of throne will take place in Luxembourg within a few years. Grand Duke Henri already knows the date. This week he handed over official duties to his son Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume, who is now a lieutenant. Grand Duchess Maria Teresa and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie were there. They looked beautiful for this special occasion.
