I think Willem was wrong to give permission for these pictures to be published. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed seeing them too. But I think it creates a dangerous slippery slope for Willem and Maxima and their future fights to protect their daughters from the paparazzi. They agreed to it this time and the photographer sought permission from the proper chanels this time, but it means that in some cases when the family is on private outings it is okay to take pictures of them and have them published while other times it is not. Next time the photographer may not seek permission and just sell them. I think this family needs to draw firm boundaries about when it is acceptable to take pictures of them if they are off duty and when it is okay to take pictures. It makes their future cases weak with this waffling.
