Last year I already said that Maxima will have her baby before mid-july and now I´m absolutely sure.:)

It's surprising to see Maxima recycle an outfit. She doesn't do so very often. She looks lovely though.

When Maxima was pregnant with Amalia she wore an outfit in the same exact color at for the same event.

The diademe which was worn by Princess Máxima of the Netherlands during the banquet in honour of The Governor-General of Canada is a very old and valuable bandeau which consists of 25 quite exceptional and crystalclear rose-cut diamonds. The Princess wore earhangers -with another few large diamonds as pendants- together with this bandeau.

A fellow poster on the Royal Jewels Message Board could inform me that these diamonds -contrary to what I always thought- do not have a Russian origin via Queen Anna Paulovna of the Netherlands born Grand Duchess of Russia, (1795 - 1865) but were a gift from Willem IV Prince of Orange, Fürst zu Nassau, Stadtholder of the United Provinces, (1711 - 1751) to his wife Princess Anne of Great Britain and Ireland, The Princess Royal, Princess of Hannover (1709-1759).

This bandeau is not as spectacular as for example the diamonds-and-ruby diademe worn by Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, but it is not a too big guess that this set, worn by Princess Máxima for the Canadian visit, is one of the most valuable sets worn by all the 'new Princesses' so far (Mathilde, Mette-Marit, Mary, Letizia, Laurentien, Mabel, Claire, etc.) due to the unbelievable size of the stones, their carat-quality and their old age.

I've noticed a lot of other people in the public eye do it too. Could anybody tell me why for sure?

The prince and princess tell the pers that the baby will be born in July . So in July , they will get no rest because everybody wants to know , if the baby isn't born yet . So if she delivers in june , the pers will not be around always ,because they think she's only 8 months pregnant

. So she can spend her last days pregnant in comfort , wtihout pressure from outside . But I think it's not gonna work this time:) Because they said that Amalia would be born medio January , but she came a month earlier!! and she was a perfectly healty baby . It's also in Belgium . The first time , Mathilde would due in november , but Elisabeth was born on 25 ocotober , The second time , she would due in september , but Gabriel came on 20 augustus . And now , I wouldn't be suprised if she due in september :) Just like Maxima would due in june ...

Maxima's Sweet Gesture at Apples of Orange Awards
Crown Princess Maxima of the Netherlands, elegant in a soft gold coatdress fastened with a bejewelled brooch, had some sweet words for her mother-in-law at the Apples of Orange Awards at Noordeinde Palace on Thursday.

Hosting the event with Queen Beatrix, the Argentina-born royal was helping shine the spotlight on "strong women", the subject of this year's award for social programmes and activists.

"In light of tonight's theme," said the crown princess, "I believe we've found ourselves in the right place – in a palace where one of the strongest and most successful women that I've ever met works. My mother-in-law."

The queen clearly appreciated the gesture, welcoming the remark with a warm smile directed at the exhuberant expectant mum. Maxima and her husband Willem-Alexander will welcome their second child in about two months time.

aw. what a sweet gesture, I'm sure Queen Beatrix must be a very proud mother-in-law.

I really adore the look of CP Maxima especially at this stage. She looks so radiant and beautiful. I have also noticed this with the royal ladies who are and were pregnant.

I think what my mother said was really true that when you are a pregnant woman, you tend to look more radiant as always and love to look beautiful more than what's usual.
