Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel went over to the KTH Royal Institute of Technology "to be informed of the research for a corona test," and honestly this could have been a video meeting. She looks perfectly reasonable and this is important work, but there are pics, that I didn't want to buy, of her and Daniel and the researchers sitting around a table with communal snacks. WHAT. NO. STOP!!!

Per Informative Caption, "Queen Maxima of the Netherlands makes working visit to Zuidbaak plantation...The demand for products from the horticultural sector has almost completely disappeared since the outbreak of the coronavirus." I'm really not sure that I think continuing to visit people is a good idea, and I wish they weren't doing this. But if Maxima is going to engagements, she could at least wear a crazy brooch!! (I jest: I know she wants to look somber and serious and now is not the time for whimsy. I just miss whimsical brooches.)
