Random Royaling – Max and Wax are Back

The Dutch royals are back from skiing and at work on a state visit to Indonesia. The visit is a bit more low key, due to the overarching Coronavirus issue, and the sad tragedy that befell some of the Indonesian workers before the royal arrival.

Max being Max, she has brought the good and bad with her – leaving the indifferent to lesser lights ; ). Let’s jump in.

Handshakes have been replaced by Namastes. Max is wearing a Johanna Ortiz floral print, which is the type of thing that works very well for her. Natan with properly placed darts, I say, although the hemline has me befuddled.

Good hair, and some elegant emerald deployment. The woman could be a hand model.

Take away the caramel-beige accessories and do something with the hat (put it away for some personal, non-public event), and I could admire the frothy, spring Natan dress. As it, it’s a bit too hodge podge for me.

A bright spot! Have you been missing major bling? Max brought out Queen Juliana’s aquamarines for your enjoyment. They are as wonderful as I remembered.

We’ve seen this Natan dress and hat before, but I like the combo. Pure spring Max. Wax is down to his shirtsleeves, and just look at the glorious colors on the women in the connected Kampong neighborhood (connected by the internet, just like us!). Maybe they thought, “we see you there in your wowza pearls, ma’am, and we up the ante with brilliant color.”

Look at the gorgeous Prambanan temple there. Max is also pretty snazzy in her new polka dot dress by Zimmerman. Sophie has something similar, and it works on both of them, I think.

Let’s not forget our King – he took his turn in the cockpit. Probably the highlight of the trip for him!
