Dutch Summer Photo Sessions (2013-2020)

[Emmily]

The girls are so grown up! Love how relaxed and "at ease" they seem in front of all the cameras as I would imagine that will help them in the year ahead.

[Lady Nimue]

So impressive and very natural. Lovely family.

I can't believe how tall CA is! Looking at the pictures she and her Max are practically the same height!

I think if Maxima has a dna test done she might not show any Argentinean in her.
That born their does not mean is in her dna.

This is my favorite photo: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dh_Man6W4AAv7Tz.jpg
I like how the three Princesses look directly into the camera. It is as though they are confirming they want to be here and they enjoy being here.

Máxima's maternal family (Cerruti) is from Genua, Italy.
Máxima's paternal family (Zorreguieta) is from Basque, Spain.

But both lines are in Argentina for generations.

Hola have an article about the jewels Queen wear to the summer photo session:

"The pendant that Máxima carried is called "Condor" and refers to the bird of the Andes, a national symbol of Argentina, the native country of the queen. The Andean condor has an important role in the folklore and mythology of the South American country and is a very popular species in Patagonia, one of the preferred regions of Máxima and his family. Last year, for example, the Dutch kings and their daughters enjoyed a private vacation in the province of Chubut, where Cerro Cóndor is located, a town where some of the largest specimens of that bird live.
In combination with her cowboy dress, the Dutch queen also wore a striking bracelet engraved with the word "Max" and the drawing of a crown, possibly also by the Aracano firm. Another funny nod to Argentina, her native country, but also to her rank as queen consort of the Netherlands."

I see that Maxima has at least two medical doctors in her family's past and that she was given a family Christian name. Also, I do not think that Maxima looks indigenous; she looks German to me!

Any news about this year's summer photo session? Can't wait to see the WA, Maxima and the A-team together again!

That wide smiling face appears to be very celtic Basque from her father’s side.
