Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Maxima are both in Turin today for the opening of the Olympic games.
Emi said:Thanks for the photos purple platinum. Was CPss Maxima brought up in the Catholic faith and is she still Catholic now?
Marengo said:She did wear one actually, the same veil I believe.
Emily said:No, they live in a mansion in Wassenaar. The house was originally built or re-built for Beatrix sister, Christina. When William and Maxima were married, it was renovated for them. There are pictures of it in some of the older threads -- most recently in the photo shoot introducing their second daughter, Alexia.
Thanks to both of you for your answers. I just cheked it out, it looks huge and fancy.Marengo said:The build a new serre to the living room and surprisingly they had a lot of restoring to do, which is strange considering the house was only build in the mid-eighties. The villa is build on estate 'De Horsten' which still is property of the RF (together with the estate 'Raaphorst'). The estates belonged to Prince Frederik of The Netherlands who lived in Huize de Pauw (now the cityhall of Wassenaar), his daughter Princess Marie of Wied inherited it and sold it later on to her cousin Queen Wilhelmina.
Marengo said:I believe Anita is catholic, and Aimee as well (not completely sure about Aimee)

She loves her people ? that is a big thing to say. she doesn't even realise that all those people who are talking to her, waving to her are "her people"
she is a two year old girl, that likes the attention and likes to chat and wave to people, as her parents probably had teached her to do.
I agree on you that she is a amazing and sweet girl
Thank you!Maxie said:Kelly, I think you should try this one:
