I don't think anyone had "Adrienne" in the pool. (Her full name is "Adrienne Josephine Alice, Princess of Sweden and Duchess of Blekinge.") Daniel here looks like he's telling Estelle to BEHAVE ## Queen Maxima ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/03/shutterstock_9459819b-1521157367.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Utrecht Robin/action press/REX/Shutterstock (9459819b) Queen Maxima Opening of the expertise center Endometriosis in Balance in HMC Bronovo, The Hague, The Netherlands - 15 Mar 2018 This is a perfectly reasonable look on Maxima, a woman who loves silk shantung. ## Queen Maxima ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/03/shutterstock_9455888b-1521157102.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Utrecht Robin/action press/REX/Shutterstock (9455888b) Queen Maxima Opening of Global Money Week 2018, The Hague, The Netherlands - 12 Mar 2018 This is, uh, less successful?

Everyone, go hug your grandma! ## Belgian Royals Visit Canada ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/03/shutterstock_9459950u-1521157401.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Isopix/REX/Shutterstock (9459950u) Queen Mathilde, King Philippe Belgian Royals visit to Canada - 14 Mar 2018 State visit of their Majesties King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium to Canada. Courtesy call with the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario Elizabeth Dowdeswell So Queen Mathilde and King Philippe have been visiting fair Canada, and Mathilde has made some INTRIGUING HAT CHOICES.

Visit of the National Gallery of Canada If I were a Queen, I ABSOLUTELY would wear a whimsical maple leaf hat to visit my Canadian friends. (As I think I joked when Kate did this, it is a shame that there really isn't a Whimsical American Symbol that lends itself to hats. Like, the cowboy hat is worn elsewhere. I suppose a *baseball* cap is very American but insufficiently formal. I believe my original suggestion was one of those foam headbands that give you the Statue of Liberty's crown and I might stand by that. ## Belgian Royals Visit Canada ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/03/shutterstock_9457034ca-1521157167.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Isopix/REX/Shutterstock (9457034ca) Queen Mathilde and King Philippe Belgians Royals visit to Canada - 12 Mar 2018 State visit of their Majesties King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgians to Canada.

His Royal Highness will present 12 pilots from Course 17/02 of the Army Air Corps with their Wings at a ceremony in the Museum of Army Flying. He will then move outside for a photograph in front of an Apache helicopter with the graduates. Prince Harry was a graduate in the same ceremony in 2010 when the Prince of Wales, the Army Air Corps Colonel in Chief, was the Presenting Officer. This will be the final Wings Parade to be held at Middle Wallop, before the ceremony transfers to the Defence Helicopter Flying School at Shawbury as part of the expanded new tri-service helicopter training operation. The Wings Parade takes place after each student completes the operational training phase, and as graduates they are presented with the insignia distinguishing them as qualified Army Pilots. I feel personally violated that Harry isn't wearing this uniform here, as the beret is really fetching on him, but I'm sure it's some kind of RULE that he can't do it in this circumstance. Which is, per Informative Caption: "Prince Harry will return to the Army Aviation Centre where he undertook advanced helicopter training to present the latest graduates with their Wings. His Royal Highness will present 12 pilots from Course 17/02 of the Army Air Corps with their Wings at a ceremony in the Museum of Army Flying. He will then move outside for a photograph in front of an Apache helicopter with the graduates.
