it's maybe because she's so expressive has many wrinkles
Perhaps. Doesn't matter to me if she's 33 or 37, doesn't change that I find her very likable. I'm not one that thinks a woman need be perfect to be interesting and beautiful. Some princesses which are raved about on this board for being so "pretty" and "fashionable" I find rather dull. I'll take Maxima and her wrinkles and her vivacity over a fashionista any day.

I agree that a woman need not be perfect for her to be interesting or dull. However I would like some effort to be made when a princess steps out the door for an official engagement. I think a princess should be well put together when she steps out the door, that means no messy "pool hair". Image is everything and vivaciousness, and personality alone is simply not enough.
Thanks xxLindaxx and misshelen for the photos. Maxima looks lovely and I really like her new hair style. It suits her a lot more than the previous one.

Let me translate what was being said in this announcement:
Princess Máxima is 'ingeburgerd'*. She finished her introduction scheme.
During the past 3.5 years she travelled through the whole country and visited 110 firms and organisations to get to know the Netherlands. Ranging from Nato and the Ser [Dutch Social Economical Council] to a penitentiary for youngsters and an ecological farm. NOVA has been following the princess over the past year and talked with her about her experiences, about her life as a princess and working mother and about the changing society and the role of the monarchy in this.
_______ *) inburgeren ~ 'to get acquainted/familiar with the country you emigrated to' > 'to become its citizen').
