Magere Hein 1,400 Posted March 23, 2015 Just wanted to say I have a lovely photo of Beatrix hanging in my shed. She dons a Shell Oil crown someone stuck on her head. I stole it from a rig I worked on in 1988 as it was terribly amusing. Likely the only American with the Queen's photo on display. Sir C Something like this? BTW, rumours have it the Oranges own several percent of Shell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted April 30, 2015 https://imageshack.com/i/p519y6aWj Magere Hein, here you go. Cheers. That picture must have been taken a few years before she became queen. As it happens, she was invested 35 years ago today, a day I won't forget easily. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I understand it, drinking vodka while chain smoking is a Good Thing. I've been told it diminishes the accumulation of rust in the lungs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I have an excuse in case a teacher catches me drinking... "I only do it so rust doesn't accumulate on my lungs"... but then, I need to come up with an excuse for smoking. Hmm... okay, I know.

Seppuku 98 Posted December 7, 2021 Former queen Beatrix has tested positive for the Coronavirus. 'Doing great' and 'in good spirits' obviously. Will probably be fine, but she's also a 83 year old smoker, so.. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThereWillBeDeaths7 753 Posted January 31, 2023 A new picture was posted today on the occasion of Beatrix' 85th birthday. The King is on a visit to the Caribbean territories at the moment but it is said to have been made recently. I would say she looks about her age, some wrinkles but still active and no public health scares after her positive covid-test at the end of 2021. She might well make 90 but wouldn't bet on it, longevity in the Dutch royal family is quite a recent phenomenon. While her parents passed away at 94 and 93, she is only the second descendant of King Willem I (r. 1815-1840) to make 85, the first one being her own mother Juliana. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThereWillBeDeaths7 753 Posted May 1 On what used to be Queen's Day (30 April), Princess Beatrix released four hedgehogs on her home grounds, Drakensteyn Castle. She looks her age (86) but seems to have no trouble walking through the forest. Mentally seems to be all there as well. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6YWB6eNPrz/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCI Frank Burnside 3,889 Posted May 1 Looks her age but moving very well and freely for her age and without support too. Will almost certainly reach 90 and possibly a few year beyond Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
