Maxima and W-A at the Olympics
This was at the swimming, and it is amazing. What is Maxima wearing? Is that a strapless jumpsuit? That's probably brilliant for Rio's weather. BLESS.
Wax amd Max
I decided that they're having a long conversation about how high the platform is, here.
Max and Wax
"It's not NEARLY that high, Maxima. It's only about THIS high."
"Whatever. I still don't want to jump off of it."

Maxima did not skimp on her accessories for Rio.

This photo is full of things Maxima loves: wacky pants, hats, and being adequately hydrated.

They also brought all three of their girls, and Wax's patriotic orange pants -- which amuse me. I wish Harry would start attending events in pants printed with the Union Jack.

THUMBS UP to Sanne Wevers, who just won the gold on the beam here. It's the first individual gold medal for the Netherlands EVER and only the second gold they've gotten in gymnastics EVER, and the last time was in 1928! Her routine was really unusual too -- LOTS of twirling and with a really unusual mount and dismount -- and really neat. Good for her! Also: Maxima. What are you even wearing?

Full confession: When Sanne's twin sister was crying with joy about her win, I ALSO cried with joy.

SPORTSFACES.
Crown Prince Frederik
CPF here is attending the swimming, although I'd read he actually missed Pernille Blume winning Denmark's first swimming gold since 1948. That has to sting for him.
Prince Albert
Speaking of stinging, whatever this woman is saying to Al, he is NOT IMPRESSED.
