Dutch Princess Maxima gives birth to baby girl javascript:void window.open('http:/...=640,height=480,directories=no,location=no'); Sunday, 26 June 2005

Princess Maxima, the wife of Dutch Crown Prince Willem-Alexander, gave birth to a baby girl on Sunday, the third in line to the Dutch throne.

"We have another beautiful and healthy daughter," Willem-Alexander, the Prince of Orange, said in a statement.

In the Netherlands, boys and girls have the same rights to the throne. The current and past two monarchs have been queens. The girl will be third in line to the Dutch throne after her father and her sister Catharina-Amalia, born on December 7, 2003.


The couple have not yet decided on a name for the baby who was born in the early afternoon at the Bronovo hospital in The Hague weighing almost 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs). Television programmes were interrupted with the news of the birth.

Willem-Alexander, Queen Beatrix's eldest son and heir to the throne, married Argentinian-born Maxima Zorreguieta in Amsterdam in February 2002.

The marriage attracted controversy because Maxima's father served as agriculture minister during Argentina's 1976-83 military dictatorship when up to 30,000 people vanished or were killed. He was barred from the wedding.

But Maxima quickly became one of the most popular members of the royal family, mastering Dutch and adding a touch of glamour to the House of Orange-Nassau. Tens of thousands thronged the centre of Amsterdam for the wedding.

Willem-Alexander's younger brother Prince Johan Friso gave up his right to the throne to marry Mabel Wisse Smit because of her past contacts with a criminal.

Congratulations to Willem-Alexander, Máxima, and Amalia as well as the rest of their families. The new little princess is sooo adorable, and I can't wait to find out what her name is going to be.

Isn´t it amazing, that Maxima and Willem have now two "Sunday children"?
Does anyone know, if the births of Amalia and the cute mini-Royal were initiated medically?

According the doctors not.

 

[misshelen]

Princess Máxima and the new Princess will stay 1 night in the hospital. There are no complications according the RVD.

 

[Lena]

According the doctors not.

Thank you for the fast answer. So it is even more amazing. I hope this "saying" about sunday children will turn out to be true for Amalia and her little sister.

Eloise, the little daughter, of prince Constantin is very cute too. Looks very determined. She is Eloise, I think...?

 

[Gabriella]

Thanks for the pictures! Amalia really is getting more and more beautiful. I think she is going to grow up to break some hearts.

Eloise is really just a little mini-me of Laurentien. And so determined. Little Claus-Casimir is very cute as well. Beatrix must be tickled pink with all of her grandchildren.

 

[Mathilde1286]

Aw, she looks so cute! Congratulations to the family! And God bless them all!!!

 

[Queen Malka]

Congrats! In my country the birth of a girl is a personal "hello" from God.

 

[Alexandria]

Thank you everyone for the first pictures of the new little Orange baby and of her big sister Amalia's visit to see her, as well as both her maternal and paternal grandparents, and uncle Constantijn, aunt Laurentien and cousins Eloise and Casimir. (Eloise is indeed the spitting image of her mom; adorable little shoes she has on, too!)

Does anyone know if the Willem took the first pictures of the little girl just as he did with Amalia, and Claus when Willem was born?

I am thinking that it is likely this picture: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=163397, but I'm not sure.

 

[marezdote]

That is the picture Willem took!

She's such a beautiful baby. I love the personal photos of her that W-A took.

 

[Bubbette]

Howmuch older is Catherine Amalia?

 

[Lady Jennifer]

Congrats to the family!!!!!!

Howmuch older is Catherine Amalia?

Amalia celebrated her first birthday on December 7th so she is close to one year and seven months older than her little sister.

 

[Bubbette]

That's close in age.
