I thought they were in Belgium. What happened to the Dutch state visit to Belgium? Did it end today for WA and Maxima?

 

[Emily]

Yes, it ended. They went for the first day only, which was planned in advance, and Queen Beatrix will "solo it" for today and tomorrow.

Maxima looks great in that beige suit! How come she is not wearing orange?

 

[Princess Maxima]

She cant choose between the Netherlands or Argentina

 

[Kelly]

That is what I had thought initially!

 

[Maxie]

W-A looks very enthusiastic. And so he should, because it's a very good match, one of the best I've seen so far. I surely hope one of the teams will get to score in the next half! Which just started by the way, I'm gone...

 

[EmmieLou]

I am glad Maxima wore this suit, it looks beautiful on her.

 

[Kelly]

Argentina vs Holland 0-0! Either way Maxima would have been happy.

well, i'm extremely disappointed. we had plenty of shots of Maradona but none of Maxima and willem. Stupid ESPN. They showed Letizia and Felipe at the Spain match against ukraine, why not Maxima and Willem?

Ugh...good game? It was awful. Ok...maybe not awful, but it certainly wasn't one of the better games. I'm extremely excited that the netherlands got through, I wish argentina hadn't though. I'm sad that we (err...the netherlands ) have to play portugal. Eh...I'm hoping the boys in orange come out on top, but it'll be a tough game.

 

[carlota]

i agree gomdnatt, i didn't see any shots of them from the channel i was looking at! i thought during the anthem they would show them...

i think it was an interesting game though. i'm not a football fan and i don't understand about it, but both teams played hard and that's great to see. i'm glad they are both in the second round, because they were the best.

nice detail to go and see maradona and to kiss the fan... how sweet and how strange it must have been for the argentinians there who didn't know maxima to be told "apparently there is an argentinian princess at the dutch part of the stadium..."

carlota - how sweet and how strange it must have been for the argentinians there who didn't know maxima to be told "apparently there is an argentinian princess at the dutch part of the stadium..."

how funny that must have been! i still haven't watched the match, i taped it coz i really didn't want to get up at 5am! i hoped to get a glimpse of W-A & Maxima, but you're all saying that they didn't show them! maybe SBS showed them though...one can always hope!

Would love to know what W-A & Maxima were saying to Maradona in pics #3 & 4!!

 

[Princess Robijn]

Pss Máxima just has to be happy.. 0-0 is the perfect score for her (if it's The Netherlands - Argentina)

From Hellomagazine:

Princess Maxima gets football fervour
Like most other Argentines Princess Maxima was eager to catch her national team's game at the World Cup on Wednesday. Unlike her countrymen, however, the royal faced divided loyalties as the Latin American dream team battled it out against the Netherlands, the land she adopted on her marriage to Crown Prince Willem-Alexander in 2002.
At the stadium in the German city of Frankfurt Maxima was excused from sporting Dutch colours and tactfully refrained from turning out with any hint of Argentine blue in her outfit. Willem-Alexander had no such qualms, wearing a tie in the traditional orange hue of the Netherlands, and a football scarf over his suit...

Maxima looks perfect,beautiful,lovely and elegant in every close she used!!!

 

[HRH Mims]

Sorry, but I hate color of dress, cut of dress isn't good for her body, nothing "stunning" with her hair and make up is as usually... what I've forgotten?
Really sorry, I love Maxima, but this dress aren't made for her.

 

[Gisela]

I think she looks young and relaxed. She looks great in red/orange outfits. And the shoes are definitely more flattering than those hideous ankle straps.

 

[Kelly]

Amazing! What a beautiful dress, she looks great! Who is the designer?

 

[Maxie]

I don't really like this dress. The first thing I thought when I saw it was: 'Wow, that's a very naked dress...' The colour is nice though.

[oskana]

Like the dress but not on Maxima. Like someone said the cut is not right on her. But she does look good in red though.
