After having had lunch Christine and I decided to go to the Royal Palace to make some pictures of it and go to the Museum of the Dynasty next to it. Around 16:00 we heard motorpolice saying that the guests might start leaving soon. The first cars left not long afterwards, with inside we think among others Princess Margriet of the Netherlands and Mr Pieter van Vollenhoven. But soon afterwards guests also started leaving the palace on foot. The cars they were transported in were outside the palace gates. To our surprise we also saw pretty well-known royals coming outside. The first ones were the Duke and Duchess of Württemberg and I dared to ask the Duchess if I could make a photograph of them. She started posing alone and then remembered her husband should go on the photo also. This way I managed to make photographs of several royals and some other known guests. When asking Princess Isabelle of Liechtenstein if I could photograph them, to my surprise she still recognised me from the concert the evening before. She also managed to have her husband also pose for me, although as she said he doesn't like very much being photographed.
