If Beatrix was still queen I'd assume there would be a large royal gathering to celebrate the occasion ,hopefully the Princess got some cake!
From what we understood in media, the birthday was celebrated in small circle. This weekend there will be a larger party in the Royal Palace Amsterdam.
No idea if we can expect royals. I think it will be family and friends: the Von Amsbergs, the Von Friesens, the Von der Reckes, the Von Oeynhausens, the Von Bismarcks, the Zur Lippes, the Zu Waldeck und Pyrmonts, the usual suspects.
In the NOS documentary yesterday it was claimed that -as Queen- Beatrix had "frozen" her friendships. Since her abdication she has picked up the old friendships again, apparently feeling that she was "free again" to go out and about and invest in private friendships.

Indeed, no foreign royals, of her family only her sons, daughters in law, grandchildren and sister P.Margriet and her husband Pieter van Vollenhoven (not her other sisters, nieces or nephews) and a few personal friends of P.Beatrix.
The Van Vollenhovens arrived wearing suits and (cocktail type) dresses (Constantijn and Laurentien as well). So that gives a pretty clear indication of the dresscode.The royal family looks very Saturday-casual. I have no idea what the dresscode is. Suit-and-tie? Black tie? I assume the royals will change in their suites in the palace.
Was Count Claus-Casimir taking a selfie ?
Maybe quickly finishing a mobile game because his parents told him "no mobiles at grandma's party" ?
Margarita was there as well, I have seen her on Blauw Bloed.
She shared a photo of herself inside the Royal Palace thanking the designers of her dress:

Was this a casual affair? O see some people was dress up but others very casual. Wish we could see photos from inside and her cake!
Dis they all stay at the Amsterdam Palace last night or was there any other reception there today?
