Default Official!!! : Máxima pregnant again!!!

The communique of the RVD:


Hare Koninklijke Hoogheid Prinses Catharina-Amalia, deelt het volgende mede:

"Ik ben heel blij dat ik U nu allemaal mag zeggen dat ik medio juli 2005 een broertje of zusje hoop te verwelkomen. Mijn ouders zijn daar ontzettend dankbaar voor en gelukkig mee. Ik wilde deze gelegenheid ook gebruiken om te bedanken voor alle kaarten en cadeautjes die ik van veel mensen uit het land mocht ontvangen voor mijn eerste verjaardag. Ik heb een hele fijne dag gehad!"



It was "announced" by Catharina-Amalia. She said she is happy to announce she gets a brother or sister in July 2005.

Love Amalia's red smocked dress in the pictures, nothing can beat a classic.

I think it's so cute that they had Amalia "announce" the new baby. It's so nice for the family to have some good news after so much sadness. July seems like a long time to wait, doesn't it? Queen Beatrix will have two new grandbabies for her Jubilee year, plus Marilene's new baby. Lucky her!

Wonderful news! Even though it has been expected to be announced, this is truly great to hear - and a light in the dark with the tragedy that holds the world's attention right now. So three news babies for next year - Mabel, Marilene and Máxima! :) And after some tough time in the family, maybe next year will be brighter, with Bea's jubilee to look forward to as well!

The pictures are from Catharina-Amalia's FIRST BIRTHDAY right?
So why are they being posted by MODERATORS and ADMINISTRATORS in a thread announcing Maxima's SECOND PREGNANCY?
So much for Maxima's hissy fight 2 weeks ago. And all for what? To defer the pregnancy announcement by some days?
What a whiner Maxima is. The press bursts her bubble by spilling her pregnancy news before she does so she calls the whole thing off...only to have to suck it up and announce the pregnancy afterall 2 weeks later.
Maxima is like all those whiny celebrities who complain about the press invading their privacy but when they need to promote their movies they come a smiling and posing for the cameras.

Yeah ..... poor WA must have his hands full dealing with this woman.

You figure this is the "result" after she threw a tantrum that he was showing one of the Dutch swimmer athletes a bit too much affection for her liking ?

That "thing" was never a press conference. It was an unofficial and private sit-down for her and W-A together with the club for court reporters, where the worst gossip press is not included. When they hear about these meetings taking place, the real tabloids like to set off some rumours so that people will wonder why they are not invited to take part of the news.

I personally think it was a good decision to postphone the meeting, announce the news a little later through RVD - and maybe now they can have this meeting and be left alone.

Vicomtesse,

There is no need to shout (posting in capital letters) anywhere on this forum as it is considered rude and insulting. Please read the Posting Rules And Guidelines before posting any further comments. See link below:

http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...ead.php?t=3547

As mentioned before, the pictures were posted on the same site along with the pregnancy announcement. Therefore, your objections are baseless.

It was not a press conference, just a unofficial talk with the press. Remember that the Telegraaf put the news on their frontpage when the royal family was still in their mourning period because the death of Prince Bernhard.
