Another article on the baptism, featured in La Gaceta de Tucumán:
bautizaron a ariana, la tercera hija de mã¡xima
The curious thing is, they used an archive foto of Máxima, WA, Amalia & Alexia as a baby - but according to "La Gaceta", the baby that Máxima is holding is Ariane...

No that isn´t Ariane, the picture was made during the photoshoot 2 years ago in Wassenaar, after the birth of Alexia.

Máxima was mentioned yesterday and today in Clarín newspaper:
October 28th: "Argentinian princess, corruption and espionage"
Princesa argentina, corrupción y espionaje
This article was part of a larger one, over Lady Di's death. They made a briefing on the most known scandals of other European royal families, including the Spanish, the Dutch and the Belgian. Nothing new here - talks about Bernard's Lockheed affair, Friso & Mabel and the incident in 2003 with Margarita Bourbon de Parma and Beatrix. The remarkable thing is, the media is finally letting us know a little bit more of royal life besides the Spanish and the English royal families.

October 29th
Woman Power
Cristina se suma al "woman power", que ya exhibe su sello por el mundo
In an article on our new elected president, Cristina F. de Kirchner, and the influence of women in world politics today, Máxima is mentioned as Beatrix's daughter in law (though she is not mentioned as one of the 'powerful women'). About Beatrix, it says that is one of the three current Queens that are not consorts (among Elizabeth II and Margrethe of Denmark), and that she has both intellectual & political capability, though no real political power:
Las reinas
En los 46 países en los que existen actualmente reyes, emperadores, emires o sultanes, sólo tres mujeres ostentan una corona sobre sus cabezas: son Isabel de Inglaterra, Beatriz de Holanda y Margarita de Dinamarca. Todos títulos heredados, en los que no tienen cabida la formación intelectual o la capacidad política -aunque algunas mujeres las tengan, como es el caso de la suegra de la princesa Máxima (argentina), la holandesa Beatriz- sino la sangre supuestamente azul que corre por sus venas. Igualmente, ninguna de las tres tiene poder político real, aunque la realeza sea su marca.

Argentinian newspaper El Cronista Comercial has today an article on Máxima's salary (and a little picture of her in the cover):
How much does a Princess earn: Máxima gets US$ 110.000 per month
Cuánto cobra una princesa: Máxima recibe u$s 110.000 por mes
The full article points out that Máxima earns more per month that George W. Bush and Ba-Ki-Moon, the head of the UN.
The rest of the article is just background info on the princess.

Máxima's apanage consists of three components:
The Dutch Royal House
At the present rate the total of 893.000 euro would be $1.302.530

On its previous issue, Gente also states that Beatrix's birthday was "the last one as Queen" :

Queen Beatrix' birthday is "the last one as queen"? I am assuming this is a mis-print. What an awful thing to say. Gente needs to improve their editing.

Not a misprint I think, the Dutch press but also abroad hints on an abdication of the Queen. Some say in a year but I hope and think she will take her time.

It was not a mis-print, what they actually reflect is one of the various 'theories' about Beatrix's supposed abdication. In this case, they tell about the theory according to which Beatrix would abdicate when she turns 71, as her mother Queen Juliana did.

Thanks saphills, great article, i enjoyed it very much. It´s good to know Maxima is "closer to Queen Beatrix than to her father."

I don't believe that Queen Beatrix would abdicate this very year. That should be totally absurd! She is in good performance, mentally and physically. I think she could keep being Queen for several years to come, yet.
Welcome, Rosana! 
Vanesa.
