She's not a relative, so I guess its the nanny

Yes, that is Inés

according to elmundo.es, beatrix is now in argentina. she travelled apparently with her two other sons, their wives and her 5 other grandchildren and met w-a, maxima and the girls in argentina.

i find it great that all the family supports maxima and decides to fly to argentina to spend, all of them, the holidays with maxima and her family in her country. it not only shows support to maxima, but a really close relationship. i think it's the first time they all visit argentina. great for them!

LA FAMILIA REAL HOLANDESA, EN ARGENTINA. La reina Beatriz de Holanda ha viajado hasta la sureña localidad argentina de Villa La Angostura para celebrar el Año Nuevo junto a su hijo mayor, el príncipe Guillermo, y su nuera, la princesa Máxima Zorreguieta, en la casa de la familia de ésta. La soberana viajó en compañía de dos de sus hijos, sus esposas y cinco nietos, y allí se reunió también con sus nietas Amalia, Alexia y Ariane. Guillermo, príncipe heredero de Holanda, y Máxima se encuentran en la villa turística, situada a unos 1.200 kilómetros al sur de Buenos Aires, desde el sábado pasado. (Foto: AFP)

I also find it remarkable and down-to-earth, since Máxima hadn't been able to spend Christmas in Argentina with her family for years.

It is not yet known if she (the Queen) will meet President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner or for how long she will stay after New Year's Day. The article says that the rest of the family will stay in the Patagonia until mid-January. (What about Amalia's classes then?):

Well, apparently the harassment stopped when they arrived to Villa La Angostura. According to this article from La Nación, the local media is very quiet, not making them unconfortable in any way, not making any comments on the presence of the RF. They even said (at a local radio) 'we don't know where Máxima is'.

I think its the same babysitter from the Netherlands. Of course I'm not sure, but last time they came here(2006) the Dutch babysitter came to Argentina with them

I would think like you I would bring the same one, not somebody new, the kids I am sure feel very confortable with the same babysitter and I don't think it would be wise to change her for some weeks, but I must say the girls in the photo looks very Argentinean, unless she has a pemanent Argentinean babysitter, which would be good because it would be another way for the girls to listen more spanish with the argentinean accent! but of course, all this is speculation, i do not know if we can know the true?.....

I love to see these pictures so down to earth. Hopefully we will see pictures of the other children out in Argentina. Althought I hope hte press keep their distance

Oh, I hope Ariane is alright, and that this isn't anything serious. I feel sorry for W-A and Maxima, it's traumatic enough to have a sick baby, but then to have photographers chasing you. They needed to be hit, that's the bodyguards job, to protect her.

[Verde Esmeralda]

The hit reporter claims that they had talked to the police for permission to stay there and take a picture from a distance, without bothering, of Maxima when she got out of the clinic. But apparently the head of guards *the bald guy who was with the girls, Carmen Cerutti and Maxima at the shopping mall* was not really keen on this.

Ariane had -apparently - something similar to what she had when she was just born, but this time due to sudden climate change.

[ashelen]

any news about how is the condition of Ariane? hope she is ok . I am sure is a lot of stress for the parents to have her daughter sick and on top of that having the press on top of them!
