Yes, she learnt Dutch and lives in Buenos Aires

Does Maxima visit her family often? Is she close with them? I would imagine that it is probably easier for the family to visit Maxima, than for Maxima to visit Argentina, but do they see each other throughout the year?

Máxima visits her family in Argentina aprox once per year.

And her family visits her in the Netherlands quite often as well (but I would stress out that it is mainly her mother who does).

thank you for your answer

Máxima is very close to her family. I read somewhere that her older brother Martín has some business relations in Holland but that he lives in Argentina, I think in the southern part.
I don't doubt that all the Zorreguieta brothers haver learned Dutch, since their nieces and brother in law are Dutch. That was the wise thing to do.
And Maximas mother, Carmen, travels to Holland quite often.

dutch it is a very difficult lungage to learn, it is wise like you said but old people has difficulty to learn a new language, so I really do not belive her parents learn the language, but probably her sister , she is young and may be the brother but don't forget everybody in holland speak english or almost everybody so the brother for bussines jst need to speak english

Speaking as a native Englissh speaker, I did not have much trouble at all learning to speak Dutch, and in fact, quite often have dutchies come up to me and wonder if I am a dutch person who has lived abroad for some time, hence the accent.

However, I can imagine that it would be difficult at her parents age to learn a completely new language. I would be willing to be though, that her siblings have or will learn dutch. At their age it is easier, and they probably already have a number of other languages that they speak, if Argentina is like other countries, in that more priveledged children go to private schools and have the opportunity to learn multiple languages. If you are multi lingual it makes it easier to learn other languages.

From Máxima's siblings, the only one who speaks Dutch is Inés.

Máxima's parents at a recent polo match, in Buenos Aires (source: Caras magazine):

Martin Zorreguieta and his new girlfriend

The article states that they've been together for three years now, and that they met at Martin's restaurant.

The pics that illustrate the article were taken in Salta, Argentina, to where Martín went to play a polo match.

Asked about his relationship with Máxima, he says that nothing has changed between them.

Martín also adds that they met when he was still married, six years ago. They have separate houses, but spend together all day.

Jorge Zorreguieta resigns as President of the CAA (Centro Azucarero Argentino, which gathers national sugar producers), chamber he had been leading since 1984, to focus on his job at the COPAL (Coordinadora de Productos Alimenticios). Judging by the ongoing conflict between the Government and the farmers and soy producers, he must be really busy these days...

- Presencias, ausencias y cambios

En el encuentro se confirmó que Jorge Zorreguieta dejará su lugar como presidente del Centro Azucarero Argentino (CAA), para dedicarse exclusivamente a sus funciones como titular de la Copal (Coordinadora de las Industrias de Productos Alimenticios), la entidad gremial empresaria que nuclea a cámaras y empresas de la industria de la alimentación y bebidas. Zorreguieta había asumido recientemente en la Copal y estaba a cargo del CAA desde 1984.
