Thanks for the video she looks great as usual. Is she by herself in this visit?

 

[marmi]

She is the only royal there (that I know of, certainly the only Dutch royal), but I dont actually know who is travelling with her

Day 2(09/10) : Reina Máxima - Novedades: Visita a Paraguay

Thanks Princess Maxima. I had hoped that we wouldn't see the jacket paired with that skirt again. Oh well, thats not why she's there...

Thanks Princess Maxima. I had hoped that we wouldn't see the jacket paired with that skirt again. Oh well, thats not why she's there...

I have to say I agree, that jacket is so beautiful, but I think it would have been better with just a cream colored skirt or pants.

I had no idea that she was so involved in micro-finance. This is a very admirable cause. It helps to empower those typically ignored by the traditional banking system. Maxima looks (and sounds) like she is doing exactly what she was meant to do. I really admire her for working hard at this cause.

As expected, Máxima spent a couple of days in Buenos Aires, before going back to the Netherlands. According to Hola.com, her father is sick, and due to the fact that she was very nearby, she paid a visit to him:

I am glad that she was able to see her father. It sounds like he is still ill. Does anybody know if he is expected to get well soon?
