Princess Margarita of Bourbon-Parma, Tjalling ten Cate & Family (1972- )

[The Watcher]

Welcome to the thread about Princess Margarita of Bourbon-Parma, Tjalling ten Cate and their daughter Julia.

[Marengo]

This thread has been renamed and is now called 'Princess Margarita and Tjalling ten Cate, News and Events'.

The former News and Events thread of Princess Margarita included her ex-husband Edwin de Roy van Zuydewijn. The threads can be seen here:

Margarita & Edwin, Part 1

Margarita & Edwin, Part 2

Comments about the engagement of Princess Margarita and Tjalling ten Cate can be posted here.

I was wondering, when will the couple get married again? And when is Margarita due? On the Benelux Royals MB Joris says it will be a small scale wedding somewhere in the heart of the country (where ever that is).

Thought she is due by the end of july/beginning of august,they will get married next month.

Has the engagement and the baby news brought a little smile on the face of Queen Beatrix and the Royal Family and the relation between them improved?

I would think so yes.But relations already were improving before the baby and engagement/wedding news.Think Alexander's 40th birthday last year,and earlyer.No,that is definetely going up.

According to RTL's Marc van der Linden, the Princess will marry this weekend somewhere in the east of the country.

That's great! It will probably be a private wedding right? Any chance we might get to see at least one picture?

[Marengo]

I have no idea actually. The boulevard press know, but I am not sure if they think this falls under the mediacode or not.

[Empress]

I guess it depends on who attends whether or not it falls under the media code. Do you think that WA and M will attend?

Did they attend her last wedding? I would think that Margarita's whole family would attend, wouldn't they? I mean, she is family! I don't know of course if they have an official engagement that day, which would make it logical not to come, but they have attended the weddings of the other cousins of Willem-Alexander, right? So why not this one!

[Marengo]

I think this time much more members of the RF will attend than last time. When Margarita married Edwin there were already some difficulties. Beatrix disliked him so much that she ordered him out of the grouppicture when Laurentien and Constantijn married for example.

At Margarita's first wedding only Prince Pieter-Christiaan, Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien were present (apart from princess Irene and Margarita's siblings). Even her own father didn't attend.

Netwerk just had a,fairly good,special on Princess Margarita,did you see that too?

Could well be possible the wedding is this weekend,just a civil ceremony tho,the previous religious wedding isn't annulled yet.

[Marengo]

I haven't seen Netwerk actually, I will see if I can get it on Uitzendinggemist.nl.

I will have a look at it later, you can see the programme here.

<Edit> good grief, they (M&E) had their first drink together in my next dor café, 'De Prins'!! Still shocking to see some old footage, esp. the 'hate' she accused Beatrix of (hate for Juliana).

About Tjalling: a quiet man, good sense of humour, the opposite of Edwin (thank god).

---

Weekend magazine of this week claims that Margarita wants to get her 1st marriage annulled, though from what I read it seemed more a spin on the mind of the magazine than that they found any evidence for this.

[lucien]

Thought Netwerk rather good on Margarita.Better then that docu on Beatrix,"The Beatrix Doctrine"oh for crying out loud,
there is no such thing.

Apparently,Margarita and Tjalling are to get married this weekend somewhere in the east,as in the east of the country.

Oh heck!!I turned a Royal Highness overnight!?You meet a royal on Queensday,and voila,you wake up one yourself.

Oh and Royalblog has the dates for dear Margarita and her Tjalling,the wedding will be on May 2nd and 3rd,this friday and saturday.

[princess leonor]

Really? That's great news!!! Congratulations to the couple
Somewhere in the middle of the country? That's a bit fague isn't it?

Does woman in the Netherlands immediately becoming
like Margarita Mrs ten Cate or
they can keep their maiden surname (de BP) or
they can take husband's surname to their own (deBP - ten Cate)?

[princess leonor]

Here's a newspaper article on it:
Prinses Margarita getrouwd - Binnenland - Telegraaf.nl [24 uur actueel, ook mobiel] [binnenland]
The article says the couple's whole family and close friends were present, including Queen Beatrix!

Yes,unless they point out in advance they'd like to keep their maiden name first.
