Thank you for the link. It's nice to see the girls going to nursery. Maxima looks nice dressed so casual. I hope her father is doing better.

Wasn't he cured from this a few years ago and stopped using the medication? The RVD did not say he started using them again so it is not sure the diseaseis causing the over weight look that he has at the moment.

No he wasn't cured,it's still there,see it as something chronic,not seriously treatening his health,but he will need to take these meds from time to time.The RVD explained it all once,and considers it a private business since.And you know how they and private match.....

AFAIK in 1999 Eef Brouwers announced that the prince had the illness but said he was completely recovered from it and did not use medication anymore. So the RVD did not explain it correctly if the illness was still there.

Anyway, let;s hope the illness has not returned and that the prince is just over-eating.

Anyway, if there is nothing seriously wrong with Jorge Zorreguieta I am wondering why they go on a 4rth visit in 6 months to Argentina while there is a debate about the travelling costs of the RF, though the press seems to be focussed on soccer only at the moment.

The Prince and his family will return tomorrow to The Netherlands.

These are lovely, thanks Princess Maxima!! Such good news that Jorge could go home again, must be a relieve for Maxima. The girls look lovely! Ariane has grown so much!

You are right, but I'm still seeing Alexia as the most pretty of the three, Amalia is so cute, but I'm not sure about Ariane...We will have to wait until they grow up

I apologize but who are we talking about? Who got fat?

You might care to read the previous page?

I read and re read the previous page and somewhere along the way we went from Maxima's father's knee to someone who got fat. Then a couple of posts ago there was mention that the CP gained weight so I assume WA is the person whom the reference was made?

I do not read Dutch so if there was any mention in one of the papers I missed it.

At a glimpse I would say that the one holding Ariane is Maxima´s mother, María del Carmen...

I agree! Alexia is definitely the prettiest of the 3 girls

I hope Maxima's father gets well soon.......
