And does anybody know why Princess Maxima accompanied her husband to NYC? Just as a support or has she some things to attend herself about Microfinance?
No,there is no fixed date,suppose he will remain Chair untill he's called to the Throne.

Dear Máxima hadn't seen Alex for over a week,he travelled to NYC from Colombia remember?She supports him by being there,and meanwhile had a little catching up to do with her sister & friends in Chelsea,and ofcourse see staff and others of/on the UN board for micro-credit.

Well, there is much to do about this article & pictures in the German ´Bild´. According to the story Maxima and WA were in a shop in New York to buy two i-phones.

Apparently due to the media code the Dutch press won´t be publishing these pictures and even RTL boulevard took care not to show the article during their show. However, Marc van der Linden (gossip journalist and RTL Boulevard presenter) called the RVD and they denied that the pictures were taken in NYC, and they also denied that the Prince and Princess bought an i-phone, let alone two of them.

Why was it denied Marengo? Pictures are prove. Maxima was in the same exact head to toe outfit from the UN Meeting ( i know she could wear it again) but ive seen the pictures. Couldnt a simple "yes they were shopping" instead of denying

Well, the most obvious reason for denying such a thing to Marc van der Linden would be that somebody at the RVD made a mistake. I have no idea what they would have to gain by denying something as innocent as this, though I believe the iphone here in Europe is around 1000 euros while in the US it is only 300 and people will start nagging if they payed import taxes over the phones etc etc.

Mind you, we only have the story of Bild that they did by iphones, but it seems rather likely that the pictures were taken in NYC indeed.

According to the website of the RF they do pay taxes over their income and assets, apart from the part that can be traced back to the ´financial statute´, they don´t specify what that statute is though.

In Dutch here.

Nice to see Maxima and WA attending a Simavi concert, just wondering, what speech is the prince holding? The earrings that Maxima are wearing are gorgeous btw, she first wore the emeralds this way in Oslo, at the concert for the birthday of the Norwegian King.

Well, I have 2 opinions about this very black outfit worn by Máxima.

(1) She seems to join the trend created by Mette-Marit... she also dressed black from head to toe yesterday and just made her look like she was mourning.
Now Máxima dressed the same... I guess it would have looked much better with lighter stockings...

(2) She looked elegant! I love her hairdo! This kind of curls look a million times better then those Barbie-curls she uses to have sometimes!

Máxima should do something about the dark roots on her hair... In the last pics, her make up was very good, her cloths too and then... she is so careless about her hair.

Well, it is funny she dresses in black indeed, I remember an interview with Graciela Naum (Argentinian designer) in which she says that Maxima told her she had to keep some things in mind, one of them was not dressing in black.

Anyway, I agree the hair looks nice this way, and the roots, well....I don+t mind that much.

I took a bettter look at the earrings due to the pictures provided by dazzling, the emeralds seem different from the traditional emerald parure, so maybe the earrings are new indeed!

It seems the goal of the evening was to raise funds for Simavi. Their website says the money will be used for sanitation projects and the Prince of Orange opened ´the year of sanitation´.

From their website and free of copyrights:

26 november 2007
Today Simavi will have its 2007 benefit concert. Three famous Dutch musicians will perform on stage to raise funds for better sanitation. This evening we will also launch the International Year of Sanitation (IYS) in the Netherlands. We are very pleased that His Royal Highness Prince Willem-Alexander (Crown Prince of the Netherlands) and Her Royal Highness Princess Máxima are present on this Simavi evening.
