BeNeLux Royal Palaces

[Lucien]

The malachite table as well as all other malachite objects at Soestdijk Palace,and all the other palaces,date from the period Queen Anna Pavlovna used Soestdijk palace as a summer residence.

Lange Voorhout Palace was the residence of Queen Mother Emma,and in use by her granddaughter Queen Juliana who left from here for the annual State opening of parliament on Prinsjesdag.It's balcony was the most famous in the country for decades,untill she sold it to the municipality of The Hague,as you said,who turned it into a museum of modern art,mainly Esscher.That,IMHO,detonates totally with the history of the Palace,well,as I knew it.But then I'm an old bat,still...

Wonderfull images Thijs!Thanks a million!
