Maybe y'all don't think this interesting lol. But to us, Dutchies, it is. This pretty lady will one day be our Queen. Her name is Maxima, she is originally from Argentina and married to our Prince who will be our King one day :)
Thought it might be nice to post a few pictures of her, that were released to celebrate her 40th bd :)
The official picture, made just yesterday
Also made yesterday
Our Prince, Princess and their 3 beautiful daughters...last year on the beach
NO the pics were NOT taken by me, lol. These are official pictures, released through the official Royal Channels. Hope you like them

Happy to be a "Raggedy Ann" in a Barbie World!
I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Thank you for sharing, she is beautiful. I learned something new today; I didn't know the Netherlands had a King and Queen.

Cathy, at the moment we have a Queen, Queen Beatrix. She became Queen in 1980, following in her mother's footsteps. Queen Beatrix is the 4th Queen we've had in a row, starting with Queen Emma, then her only child became Queen Wilhelmina, her only child became Queen Juliana and her oldest daughter became Queen Beatrix. If she resigns we will have a King again since 1898!
The husband of a Queen will never be a King, because a King is higher in rang than a Queen...but because Beatrix only had sons......he will be King and his wife will be Queen :)
Confusing I know lol

Karla, yes Juliana was indeed a lovely lady. Rather "down to earth" as well. Most of the time she really hated protocol. She was the one that abolished the walking backwards after meeting the Queen. THAT was the norm in the olden days, it was seen as impolite to walk away with your back to Royals, but Juliana was always afraid people would fall down :) So that is why she always told them to please NOT walk backwards.

Ahhhh! I always wondered how the "Queen/hubby not king" thing worked. Thank you for explaining that. It is rather confusing. With Maxima being from Argentina, I'm now curious how they met....if she was of royal blood or not(like William and Kate).

Jackie, no she is NOT of Royal blood. But ofcourse they were not poor either. They met in Seville, and the rest is history as they say :) In fact her father was, what you might call, un unwanted person yikes! He was a member of the Argentinian government under Jorge Videla. They say he knew about what happened with people at that time, about people vanishing Ofcourse he was investigated and is still an unwanted person here. He also was not allowed to be here when his daughter married our Prince.

Here is a link with more info about that if y'all are interested.
Maxima is NOT looked upon for her father's sins PTL. She renounced them all, and also told the Dutch that she did not approve of them etc. etc. But now it is "hidden with love" as we call it here. Maxima IS loved very much so she is forgiven :)
