Holland’s pretty-in-pink Princess Maxima lead the festivities honoring Queen Beatrix’s official birthday and the anniversary of her ascension to the throne.

Beatrix ascended the throne of the Netherlands when her mother, Queen Juliana, abdicated on April 30th, 1980.

Time.com presents a photo essay in honor of Her Majesty’s 82nd birthday (they are calling her ‘Her Royal Highness’… faux pas!)

UPDATE: The Time.com words are linked to the photo slideshow, but I was told it wasn’t very easy to find the link that way. So, here is the full link (sorry guys!) to the images:

Also, I noted that they changed the title to read “A Gallery of Images Celebrating Her Majesty’s 82nd birthday”.

Or should I say, “Happy Belated Birthday” to His Royal Highness.

See? This is why I need a Royal Events Calendar.

June will usher in the celebrations for Her Majesty’s official birthday, and with it the traditional Trooping the Color ceremony.

Visit the British Army’s website for the details.

Yet another wonderfully adorable royal child: Norway’s Princess Ingrid-Alexandra, who is right on par with Princess Amalia in the personality stakes!
