Hey Jacqueline!

Jacqueline, I agree that Maxima does not seem like a shrinking violet-cry baby kind of woman. I don't think that W-A would find that kind of woman attractive (but what do I know). I think perhaps, initially, Maxima might have been a little too strong for Beatrix (I don't mean strong in a negative way). I think sometimes strong-willed women don't enjoy seeing their sons marry other strong-willed women. Friction always seems to arise. But you have a very good point in that perhaps Beatrix was completely won over by Maxima's love for W-A (that and I imagine that Maxima can be very charming as well).
I think it may be a bit of 2 things. #1 Beatrix may not have been too sure of Maxima at first & expressed her opinion to WA which may have ensued some arguments. #2 Margarita may have exaggerated the Queens disapproval for Maxima just a tad but hey we'll never know for sure.
