I think it is wonderful that you all are facing your opinions on the Princess. Good ones of course! A few opositions, but, the ,ajority are in good words. I didn't realize that it either came out or was noticed that Maxima didnt really enjoy being a Princess as much!! Matte-Marit? I could see that. It is obvious that Maxima is completly in love with her Willem........ Matte-Marit, I will keep tight lipped about that opinion.

"Bump" means the little baby belly. Another common term is "bun in the oven." For example, if you look at the threads on the Earl and Countess of Wessex (British royals) or Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit (Norwegian royals) there is a lot of talk of Sophie and Mette-Marit's 'bumps.'

That's one way to say A LOT without appearing to say anything. Neat trick.

You may as well speak your mind. It couldn't be any worse than now expected.

Why don't you just say that you're looking forward to seeing the more progressed pregnancies of these ladies? Eh? What's with this incessant talk of "bumps"? Not very proper, now is it? And why would you hope for the inevitable? She's most likely to gain more, what's this you call it? Bump? Yes, 'tis so. Just wait, she'll be big as a house in no time. Unless her kid gets some birth defect which will restrict his/her growth.

Haha, Wilhemina Juliana? Hahahaha, you're joking..I hope. Hahahahha. Why not just call it Chadwick, and get along with it. Prince Chadwick.

ROFLMAOWTIME! Haha..

I really love the last pic of Maxima. I think she is so natural and beautiful. They really for the most part seem like a couple in love.

And I can't wait until they have an adorable baby running around.

Does any1 know how tall Maxima is (if yoy do can you put it in feet? I think M-M does love Hakkon(sp). Does anyone know any good maxima sites in english? Also does anyone know why stories write Cp princess Maxima Zorreguieta? And for the dutch people, have you heard this story about max missing argentina and family, she feeling like princess Di and she's now talking with her Ex or something?

The Watcher · #93 08-26-2003, 10:57 AM

gossip mags.....ppppfffffffffffffffff..... That story is bullshit, Maxima is not running back to Argentina, don't be afraid. I think the writer in the gossip-mag have a dream about that and write it down in his magazine (forget it was not the true..) B) B)

I don't think it's ture that Maxima is running back to Argentina any time soon, but I do think she misses her family and homeland very much. Where you grew up can be such a part of you and who you are, Maxima had to sacrifice a lot (and she gained a lot, too) to marry Willem and be the CP of the Netherlands.

She's had to make this transition and all these changes without her family at her side. I don't know if Maxima and her parents and siblings are close, but they seem to be close enough for her to miss them desperately. Espescially now, with a baby on the way, you find you long for your own family very much.

When you think about Maxima, you think how lucky say Mathilde and Mette-Marit are. Although all three women have undertaken similar roles in their various countries, Mathilde and Mette-Marit are "natives" of the countries they will be the future Queens of. There was no cultural adjustment for either of them even if there was an adjustment in roles and lifestyles. And both of the women are lucky enough to have their families at the side (or in MM's case, her mother.) I think Mary may perhaps experience homesickness, too, if she marries Frederik. Did Alexandra ever feel homesick when she left Hong Kong to marry Joachim?

have you ever been aware of the name of the crown princess'? they all start with M

Máxima, Mette-Marit, Mathilde, Marie-Chantal, Masako ... Mary

I noticed that a while back, too, Tina!

And don't forget Maria Teresa of Luxembourg, Miriam of Bulgaria ....

And isn't the Lichenstein CP's wife also named Marie or something like that?

Mary fits right in doesn't she?

So the rule of thumb for Felipe and Albert are women whose names start with 'M.' (I guess that rules Eva out, huh?)

oh, I forgot, but there were so many M's

hope it rules Eva out - I don't think that an underwear model would be a good queen

Thanks Samitude! Guess I was off on that one! ... Wishful thinking, I guess. I just wanted the coincidences to continue!
