I posted yesterday some pictures and I have a question. I can see the pictures, but can you all see the pictures???

karolinabraganza · #**142** 12-31-2003, 10:10 AM

no, there is only the link to fotosmulders.nl.

i also find this very annoying, i have to admit. we post pictures because this is the point of this board and someone simply deletes them. if mulders is against his pictures being posted, then please block them from the copying process.

Nobody from LTR deleted them. The best way to prevent this from happening in the future is to save the images to your computer then post them here using the Browse function rather than the IMG function.

Beate · #**144** 12-31-2003, 12:30 PM

I wasn't able to view them either. I guess the photographer is protecting himself which of course is understandable.

I am fairly new here and and I am just finding out about the image posting functions. So if I would like to post a pic can I attach it via the browsing function with a post? Am I understanding this the right way? :) Just double checking..

Try it in the Test Zone, you can do it with "File Attachments" and than Add reply etc. I try it also now, does it work?

The Watcher · #**146** 12-31-2003, 01:20 PM

Here it is:

Beate · #**147** 12-31-2003, 03:11 PM

Yes, it did!!! BTW Maxima looks great! Even without make-up! :)

Thanks, for the response.I'll give it a try later on...

I love how Maxima has been so 'active' with Amalia since she is only a few weeks old. She's been out with the newborn baby twice now from the pictures I've seen.

Phillippe and Mathilde seemed to keep their babies out of the public eye and you only saw Elisabeth and Gabriel during the official pictures, when mother and baby left the hospital and then not until the baptism.

I love the name Catharina-Amalia - so melodic - yes, sounds a bit Spanish or maybe Italian, but it still has a beautiful rhythm. Certainly a queen should have an elegant name; one thinks of Catherine the Great in association w/Catharina. Her parents chose well and honored both grandmothers at the same time. Belle enfant!!!

Congratulations to her family!

One way you can see the picture is to right click on the black box, go to properties and highlight the address. Then copy and paste it into the URL line and the photo will show up. That's what I have to do to see the photo.

Hi Watcher,

I tried to post a pic of mine but it never showed in preview. I am wondering what I am doing wrong.. I shall give it another try...
Thanks..

The Watcher · #**152** 01-02-2004, 05:41 AM

The picture you have posted in the Test Zone (already removed), I could see. So give it a another try, if you do it on the same way as in the Test Zone, it is ok. (i think

)

You have all already seen the pictures of Maxima and family in Amsterdam, here is a video :flower:

[SIZE=7]Her Royal Highness Princess Catharina-Amalia Beatrix Carmen Victoria, Princess of the Netherlands, Princess of Orange-Nassau.

Catharina means: 'She who is pure'
Amalia means: 'She who is militant'
Beatrix means: 'She who brings happiness'
Carmen is derived from the biblical Mount Carmel
Victoria: 'She who is victorious'

The Prince of Orange and Princess Máxima obviously have chosen for a regal name and -because both Catharina and Amalia- appear in the long list of names in the looong history of the Orange-Nassau dynasty, they are clearly placing their daughter as a new link in the long chain. And they hope Princess Catharina-Amalia will become a strong link who is pure, militant, brings happiness and is victorious. A strong(-willed) Queen, like her grandmother Queen Beatrix!

On the name Victoria: the Prince expressed that he and Princess Máxima choosed for this name because of it's meaning: 'She who is victorious'.

But because the Crown Princess of Sweden is a protestant ánd because Queen Beatrix is her godmother and Queen Juliana is the godmother to King Carl XVI Gustav of Sweden, it is widely expected in the Netherlands that HRH the Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden will become the godmother to the Princess.

Prince Willem-Alexander's godparents are:
HM the Queen of Danmark,
HRH Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, Prince of Lippe-Biesterfeld (grandfather)
HSH the Fürst von Bismarck,
Lady Gosta von Amsberg baroness von dem Bussche Haddenhausen (grandmother)
The (then) Minister-President, prof. dr. J. Zijlstra

Mrs. Renée Smith born jonkvrouwe Roëll is also a godmother to the Prince of Orange and is probably the one he feels closest to (except for his grandfather perhaps) as she is is mothers best & eldest friend.

When will they announce who the godparents are going to be and when the little princess is going to be baptised?

xxPatrickxx · #**157** 01-04-2004, 12:54 PM

The baptism of Princess Catharina-Amalia is not confirmed by the RVD but the royalty watchers and the press aspect that the baptism in April is, so april is gonna be a busy month, The baptism of Amalia, the wedding of Prince Johan-Friso and Mabel, and Queens day.

Article : " Máxima adores her Amalia! While the trams past rage and passers-by to her swings and calls, Màxima presses she her small wonder,Amalia against her body. Her eyes radiate on the blue blanket just aside pulls and she admires her daughter. Just she further nothing sees more. Even her parents, her brother and her sister are a few seconds long far away. Then bows Máxima her head and gives baby Amalia careful a kiss. Pure mother enjoyment. Pure love of a princess for her small princess. Excluding in Story: the most beautiful images of the visit of the family Zorreguieta at Amsterdam and the mostly unique pics of Máxima and her little princess "

Alexandria · #**160** 01-06-2004, 04:52 PM

This looks like a good issue! I will have to peruse it at my local bookstore and see the "mostly unique pictures of Maxima and her little princess."

Have Maxima's parents and her siblings been in the Netherlands with her since the birth of Amalia? ... How nice if this is the case, that they were able to celebrate the holidays with their daughter (and sister) and the first with their new granddaughter (and niece) as well as savouring every moment with Amalia.
