Really warm actually. They can expect a 30º C temperature around that time here in BA...

That is so nice! It has been a while since the children have been to Argentina, and Ariane has never been there. Great that there will be a photosession!!

I must accept that I'm excited about the photosession. I like to notice how the girls are growing up. But I'm over all things, interested about Ariane's photo, since I've seen so few of her.

Since Máxima, Willem - Alexander and the 3 A's are going to spend Christmas in Argentina this year, I created this thread in order to post everything related to this special event.

It will be Máxima's first visit to Argentina since March 2006, when she came in an official trip with HM Queen Beatrix and the Prince of Orange. Back then, both Princess Amalia and Princess Alexia came along. But Princess Ariane, born in April 2007, is not yet known 'in person' by most of Máxima's friends and relatives, except for her parents and two of her brothers (Inés and Juan, who attended the baptism last October). This is one of the reasons for this visit.

I will try to provide you with the latest updates from Buenos Aires!

First question: Does anyone know for sure when they are arriving in BA, or when will the photosession be held?

**Marengo** · #9 12-12-2007, 01:03 PM

Are you sure this is the first visit since March 2006? Didn't her half sister Angeles marry in between, or was that before this date?

Verde Esmeralda · #10 12-12-2007, 01:06 PM

I am pretty sure it is. I don't recall any other wedding she attended in the past year...only remember she came specially for Samantha Deane's, but that was in 2004...

Verde Esmeralda · #11 12-12-2007, 01:38 PM

About the date of arrival to Argentina: this week's Gente magazine says it will be after the 22nd of December, and they will be back before the 7th of January - because Amalia has to continue with school.

Do the DRF not spend Christmas together as a family?

I'm surprised the CP couple will be out of the country.

Máxima's last visit to Buenos Aires was on October 1st 2006, when she attended the wedding of her half-sister María Zorreguieta

The photoshoot will be December 22, 2007. It's confirmed by the RVD.

ashelen · #16 12-13-2007, 04:08 PM

but when do the arrive???

**Marengo** · #17 12-14-2007, 05:42 AM

Where did the RVD confirm the date? In the press maybe, I don´t see anything on the website of the Royal House.

Princess Robijn · #18 12-14-2007, 06:37 AM

It was said to a reporter, can't remember where I heard it.

Probably Máxima's family was already missing her presence is the Zorreguieta's Christmas parties

It seems they won't spend only the Christmas but also the New Year's day in Argentina. The children, especially Amalia, will find funny to spend these celebrations with a summer weather instead of snow and cold temperatures. Personally I prefer a cold Christmas

but I guess it will be a funny experience for them.

They looked like they were having a good time in 2005 during Princess Catharina-Amalia's birthday shoot in December. They seem to enjoy themselves as a family no matter what the circumstances.
