I hope Maxima will choose a well-known, international organisation as the Red Cross, UN-Aids or something similar, IMO a donation for such a organisation wouldn't give the media especially the gossip-magazines something to discuss.

According to BN De Stem (I believe it was the one of yesterda), the Dutch Ambassy in Argentine lost a lawsuit about the pictures of Princess Amalia in 2004. (The one from the stolen camera.) They suit in name of the Prince and Princess of Orange. The judge ruled the journalists didn't know the camera was stolen.
