Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima Picture Thread, Part 1 (Nov '02-Jan '06)

[Cathérine Bergeyck]

Does anyone know what language they communicate in? Is it English?

They both speak Dutch, so Dutch is what they talk to each other I think.

Of course Nane Anan was there as well, so it may have been English...

18 NOVEMBER 2004

There was a distinctly aristocratic feel to the United Nations headquarters in New York this week when two of Europe’s leading royals jetted in for a visit. Princess Mathilde of Belgium and Princess Maxima of the Netherlands met up in the Big Apple in an effort to help some of the world’s poorest communities.
Both women attended a gala event to launch the International Year of Microcredit on Wednesday evening. The United Nations is aiming to step up the fight against poverty next year, by offering small loans to would-be entrepreneurs in impoverished countries.

"A very small loan can change people's lives by enabling them to generate their own income with all the positive consequences that entails," explained Maxima. The 33-year-old argued that microcredits were one of the most effective ways of fighting poverty. “Let us not forget that a dollar earned is worth much more than a dollar received as a donation," she affirmed.

Mathilde meanwhile emphasised the role these loans can play in fighting sexual inequality. "The Year of Microcredit will highlight how women's talents and innovation, together with access to credit and savings, can give them the power to make long term investments in their families, communities, and their children's lives," she said.

The two women are not the only glamorous stars throwing their weight between the UN’s plans. Queen Rania of Jordan will also be acting as an emissary for the project, while veteran singer Enrique Iglesias is on the board of advisors.

I like looking at her pictures, she has a nice smile and always has a smile on her face.

I agree. What I really like about Maxima's smile is that it doesn't seem forced.

There are rumors according to which Maxima would be pregnant again.

There are rumors according to which Maxima would be pregnant again.

It would not suprise me if the rumours are true. Perhaps they first want to make the official announcement on the birthday of Amalia. But that was after the death of Bernhard of course not possible. I saw her on television yesterday and she just looks pregnant. But it is of course possible that she just eated to much 'poffertjes' or 'pannekoeken'

 

[karolinabraganza]

The new generation of European princessesare elegant, modern, charming and very into fashion.

Ofcourse, when you are a princess you have the opportunity to buy expensive clothes by famous designers, for the official duties your position brings you.

Therefor most princesses have a favorite designer. For Princess Maxima it''s the Belgium designer Edouard Vermeulen. He always makes sure that the princess of Holland is well dressed and makes sure that non of his DUTCH Clients will buy the same dress as the princess.

What he forgot is that sometimes Holland meet Belgium.

WoW, it was a good thing they werent going to meet each other or be at the same place together..
I think it looked nicer on CP Maxima

New Years Meeting

Does anybody know when the Dutch Royals have their New Years Reception? I heard on the tv that Lex and Max are outside the country. Does anybody knows something about it. I can hardly wait to see new pictures of Maxi being pregnant.

wearing a hat in the same tweady material as the suite is the tacky bit

wearing a hat in the same tweady material as the suite is the tacky bit

Lots of women wear hats that are made of the same material as their suits. I don't think it's "tacky" per se. A bit much for my taste, but not "tacky." Maybe if the hat had only been trimmed with the same material and in a more neutral colour like black or burgundy it wouldn't have been so much.

agree with your posting. I only knew that it was the hat that made "less is more" but was not clear about it.
