Here is the new thread for news and photos of Willem-Alexander and Maxima. Enjoy! :)

There she is! I had wondered what had happened to the couple. I saw the Queen was back to work 2 weeks ago and even Constantijn and Princess Laurentien, but not the PRince and Princess of Oranje.

I'm not a fan of those shoes, but other than that she looks great, happy, and relaxed :)

the shoes look clunky, like from the sixties (or eighties), and the colour......

Thanks for the great pictures. Maxama looks great. I like the colours and articles that she is wearing but here, I find that some of the colours don't seem to match each other. It could just be the lighting!

Yesterday was prince Willem-Alexander in Leeuwarden, opening of Wetsus

The dress that Maxima wore at Batatus she wore also two and a half years ago on the Antillen.

On Boulevard they found the face of Maxima a bit rounder, maybe she ate much in Argentina or is there a baby coming?

About the rumours of a marriage crisis: Maybe the argue about the embrassement wit Inge de Bruijn, but I don't think this is a treath for their marriage.

I also don't think they have a crisis. They got their conclusion from the German press and from looking at the photos.

[The Watcher]

Prive is a gossipmag, I don't think it is true. They are already two weeks back in The Netherlands and now there was suddenly a crisis because they walked not together, when W-A was playing golf. Such a nonsense.


But two days later there was also this picture. I mean, they look happy and Amalia so cute :o

[Hannelore]

That peach color does not flatter Máxima one bit, livelier colors are much better for her.

IMO, on the last pic, baby Amalia looks a lot like Vittoria of Savoy.

Prinselijk paar in geweer tegen roddelbladen

DEN HAAG - Prins Willem-Alexander en prinses Máxima laten onderzoeken of juridische stappen tegen roddelbladen in Nederland en Duitsland mogelijk zijn. Aanleiding vormen artikelen over vermeende huwelijksproblemen van het prinselijk paar. Dat heeft een woordvoerder van de Rijksvoorlichtingsdienst zaterdag gezegd.



De roddelbladen hebben hun pijlen op de prins en prinses gericht na de Olympische Spelen in Athene. Daar werd een foto gemaakt van Willem-Alexander en zwemster Inge de Bruijn, die elkaar omarmden in het Holland Heineken House. De prins was aanwezig op uitnodiging van de organisatie.

Enkele publicaties suggereren dat er meer was tussen de prins en de zwemster en dat dit in villa De Eikenhorst tot spanningen zou hebben geleid. De woordvoerder van de RVD doet deze suggesties af als onzin.

De pins en prinses zijn zo boos dat zij kijken welke juridische stappen zij kunnen ondernemen tegen de roddelbladen, twee uit Nederland en twee uit Duitsland.

I found this article through a yahoo link:


Royals fight gossip over 'marriage troubles'

20 September 2004

AMSTERDAM — Dutch Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Maxima are investigating whether legal action can be taken against gossip magazines in the Netherlands and Germany after they published articles suggesting the royal couple was having marital problems.

The gossip magazines honed in on the royal couple after the Olympic Games in Athens, where a photo was taken of Prince Willem-Alexander and star Dutch swimmer Inge de Bruijn arm-in-arm in the Holland Heineken House.

The prince attended a function at the venue on invitation and several gossip magazines later ran stories suggesting there was more to the hug than met the eye. They also suggested that there was a strained atmosphere in the Wassenaar mansion of Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Maxima.

A spokesman for the government information service RVD dismissed the suggestion as nonsense, news agency ANP reported on Saturday.

And the prince and princess are reportedly so angry that they are investigating what legal action can be taken against the magazines, two of which come from the Netherlands and two of which come from Germany. There is national and international case law that might assist the royal couple's battle.

The European Court of European Rights has previously ruled that the privacy of Monaco's Princess Caroline had been violated. The ruling was against a German magazine which published photos of the princess' private life without her permission.

Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Maxima are regularly locked in legal disputes with media in regards their privacy. The last such case involved the publication of photos of their baby daughter Princess Amalia, which were taken from Maxima's stolen digital camera.

The popular royal couple has also crossed hairs with the nation's media by obtaining a Wassenaar Council ban on photographs being made of them through the fence of their mansion De Eikenhorst. The ban was eventually overturned.

Despite this, Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Maxima won a legal case at the end of February against gossip magazine Prive, which had published photos of the inside of the royal couple’s mansion without their permission.
