i adore hearing that maxima attends such meetings on finance and economic related issues outside her country so often. i'm sure it's because her work is known and appreciated by the people in the field. it's surely not just a "cut ribbons" job that she does and i believe that's why she is so liked.

do you think she will be received by sheikha mozah or any qatar royals?

Might expect that yes,as the whole "crowd" is there,including UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon.

Maxi had a real, high powered career before her marriage and understands banking at a high level through working at that level. She isn't like some other royal ladies who have to have 'careers' puffed up to look like something important when they really worked at low levels. Maxi is clearly very intelligent and spirited and she seems to have enormous energy and enthusiasm for her work and charmingly, lacks the vanity that others may have.

My words exactly.Who needs those fashion dolls that jet the globe pretending they are something they are absolutely not,nor ever will be.
Our Máxima is unique,like it or not,she is first among equals as a mix of beauty,inside and out,with brains to match.

[carlota]

completely agreed. i think yamamah's point is important: she had an important career before being a princess which makes her different from the rest.

[Regina]

Almost All Crown Princesses had careers before being a princess... Mathilde and Mary were good preofessionals as well and Letizia was a very good professional.

I don't understand why some people believe Máxima is a model of discretion in what concerns to fashion! She is indeed one of the princess who cares more about her clothes and her look. Maybe Mary achieves more attention to her look because she is (IMO) more elegant and goodlooking but I don't think any of them (including Letizia or Mathilde) is a fashion doll...

I do think Máxima gains a lot is in enthusiasm, interest and caring. As everyone can see on these last pictures, she looks always glad to be with people. But about fashion or career, she's just like all the others.

[yamamah]

Yes, Leti and Mary were professionals too. I am talking about Middle Eastern Royal families in particular who are guilty of 'talking up' their members who when compared to some of the Crown Princesses of Europe didn't actually achieve much. The girls who married into the royal houses of europe have definitely enhanced those houses and aren't fashion dolls even thought they dress nicely. Maxi was a high level banker. Leti a high level journalist and Mary a successful lawyer - positive examples to all girls out there as they achieved BEFORE they married and haven't got what they have through marriage alone. Maxi is such a free spirit, I admit I have an affection for her but I like the other's too.

Maxima has such an exuberant personality, I smile whenver I see a photograph of her. Her enthusiasm comes through in any photo--regardless of what she is doing. Regardless if the subject is exciting or mundane, she still makes who she is with feel incredibly important. That kind of enthusiasm is hard to fake, and it shows how genuine of a person she is. I would be disappointed if she didn't wear bright colors and fun jewelry--it wouldn't suit her. She looks wonderful understated as well--in fact, she just looks wonderful no matter what because her smile is always so real. She always looks happy, excited, and like she really cares and enjoys what she is doing. She approaches life with gusto--

[yamamah]

Yes her joie de vivre is infectious and W-A is a bit stiff so she is perfect for him and for Holland as a balance.

I don't think that WA is as stiff as he appears. I think that Maxima is just so exuberant and vivacious that anyone would seem stiff next to her. I can't imagine Maxima being in love with anyone who is stiff.

Maxima looks wonderful. I love seeing photos of her when she is on the job. She never looks anything other than completely interested and engaged in her duties.
