--Somebody needs to wrap the Dutch royal family in cushions or something: Queen Máxima suffered a mild concussion in a fall on July 1st, and the Princess of Orange turned up at the family's annual summer photocall on Friday on crutches, thanks to a sprained ankle. (These latest mishaps come after Princess Alexia broke her leg skiing earlier this year, and Máxima was down with a kidney infection late last year.)
