One of the Dutch top chefs will take care of the tastebuts,Jonnie de Boer of the 3 Michelin stars "De Librije",while the former Grand Master of HM Household and old fellow student and friend from her University years,mr.Floor Kist will be the center of the stage with a satirical dialogue.
 
I'm glad to hear that the entire family will head to NYC! I'm sure that this will be a lovely trip for them. I can't wait to see the photos!
 
That sounds like such a fun trip for the family! I know the kids won't attend the ball, but I wonder if any of them will tag along on the trip?
 
Those who will have to go to school will certainly not be in NY!
Little Pieter will celebrate his first birthday on the 19th (maybe his sister Emma and he himself, his cousins Magali and Eliane and Benjamin) But I think it will only be the grandparents and parents

Yes,only the grandparents and the parents.Plenty of grandparents left here to take care of the whole kiddy gang.:)
 
Pieter van Vollenhoven attended the annual herring party at Castle Neijenrode. He was accompanied by prince Floris.
 
Are you sure it is prince PC? It looks like a totally different person to me, maybe involved with the organization since he is wearing a ribbon.

In the Stan Huygens journaal of yesterday (in the Telegraaf) they said that Floris was there too.

Princess Margriet, Pieter van Vollenhoven, their 2 oldest sons, their daughter-in-laws and their grandchildren visited the circus.

The only ones missing were Prince Pieter-Christiaan, who is allergic for horses, his son, Pieter jr, Prince Floris and his youngest daughter, Magali.
 
That was a few days before christmas :) Magali was there, but Eliane, Anna and Pieter van Vollenhoven weren't there ;)
 
Thanks, I didn't realise that Anna was also missing. ;)

Fantastic man who did an outstanding job in raising awareness for security research when it was still an open field.He build up the Research Council from scratch,and against all odds,and sometimes downright anti powers from the respective governments who often found Pieter annoying due to his relentless asking questions on both accidents that occurred,lack of transparancy and incompetent folks on wrong places pushing responsibility as far away as possible,he was a nuisance to them:lol:.He nailed them,with a vengeance,and as a true gentleman having a way with words not many can surpass.Really,the man performed miracles almost in gaining momentum for his Council,something he is widely applauded for,absolutely.

There was a fantastic documentary on his life and work aired last sunday,but very late,after 11PM,rediculously late.It showed many aspects of what makes Pieter van Vollenhoven tick,the support of his Princess,his family,his drive for truth and justice,filmed during work or at the new home of Pieter and the Princess and at the "Marianne Schuur",(Marianne's Stables) which is their new guesthouse.

Absolutely,I wish more men of his caliber would be around

Apart from the van Vollenhovens the event was also attended by the wonderful Mrs. Martine van Loon-Labouchère, the grand mastress/mistress (unfortunate title in English ;)) of HM The Queen.

I guess she could have gone by foot as Huize van Loon in a 5-10 minute walk away from the theatre.

The evening was presented by Ivo Niehe, who must be a favourite of the couple since he interviewed both of them on several occassions.

The fund named after the princess starts with a capital of € 1.095.000.The fund will focs on 'preperation for disasters'.
