Four years ago today, King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands became the nation’s king when his mother, Princess Beatrix, abdicated in his favor. At his inauguration ceremony, the new Queen Maxima was a magpie’s dream in diamonds and sapphires. You can read all about the history of her jewels in our previous post, but today, I think it’s time to enjoy them glittering in motion!
