A Baby Girl for Willem-Alexander and Maxima

Princess Juliana's condition (mental and physical) are to bad.....

What kind of country makes it illegal not to name your baby after 3 days? Why should they have to? Well, I mean a normal family.

What do you mean Dennism? Illegal?

[Dennism]

"The Civil Code says that a newborn baby must be registered within three working days,"

I hope they choose original names for their daughter...but not made-up ones, like some American parents do for their children. :flower:

Thank you, Dennism. In my countrya baby must be christened OR registered within three months.

"Prins Willem-Alexander zal de naam van zijn dochter waarschijnlijk pas bekendmaken wanneer hij het meisje aangeeft bij de gemeente Den Haag. Dat moet binnen drie dagen gebeuren.

Ook de titel van de baby is nog niet bekend. Zij krijgt als tweede in de lijn van troonopvolging in elk geval niet de titel Prinses van Oranje. Het predikaat 'Van Oranje' is voorbehouden aan de eerste erfgenaam.

De baby is het tweede kleinkind van de koningin. Prins Constantijn, haar derde zoon, en zijn vrouw prinses Laurentien, kregen vorig jaar een dochtertje, die Eloïse heet. "

I also asked about the gap between birth and baptism but apparently that's normal but Royal Dutch babies.

Queen Beatrix looks very delighted and happy.

And is it just me, or in these pictures of her arriving at the hospital does it look like her hair is less of a helmet?

[Alexandria]

I can't read what you posted Dennism!

What is the 'normal' gap between birth and baptism?

[bnsm907]

:woot: Congratulations to the Dutch people with the birth of a new princess.

Dutch: Hartelijke gelukwensen voor de geboorte van jullie nieuwe prinsesje ..... Oranje Boven !!!! :woot:

Family tree:

In drei Tagen? In three days? The name will be official?

Willem again











Well aren't Catholic babies supposed to be baptized within 3 days to save their souls?
And I think most Protestant babies are baptized within the first month unless they are "born again".

[Dennism]

Is that what that says, Alexandra? It's close to German that's for sure.

[norwegianne]

There's a difference between being baptized and being registered...

What do you mean by "Born again"?

[Dennism]

Evangelical Christians mostly. Found God again usually in middle age after leading a life of sin.

What's the significance of the Orange muisjes? They look like Jelly beans.

okay. There is a difference. That's what I thought on the name thing. But that's really rather bureaucratic but still I understand. No, I meant there is a difference between getting a name and being registered? No, that's why I thought it was still odd that you had to do that in 3 days. The baptism thing is something else.

In my country a baby MUST be christened or registred within 3 months. Egal which religion you confess.
