I doubt she will have a baby next year since she had one this year. Now, I wouldn't be surprised if Bernhard, Jr. and Annette had one next year. Their two children were born in 2002 and 2004.

I'm very suprises about this news! she is almost 40!

Laurentien and Constantijn said in a pre-wedding interview that they want three children so I'm not surprised. Here's a link to Netty's page on the pre-wedding interview.

Hopefully Aimee & Anita will also have child in 2006.
That gives the Dutch RF, 3 children to add, just like in 2005 with Alexia, Felicia, and Luana.
At the rate this is going, they are going to be a very huge family...

Congrats to Laurentien and Constantijn! Best of luck to them!!!

[Princess Maxima]

I think 2006 will be the "dutch baby" boom:
-Laurentien(confirmed)
-Mabel: hope it will be announce soon
-Máxima: a baby for December 2006
-And Anita&Aimée by the end of next year
