I think it is great that they can go and spend some time with Maxima's family but I am surprised to hear it, I just assumed it would not bethe done thing.

Do you see the Dutch Royals on Christmas Day, like we do with the British Royals?

When the children start going to school, like Amalia, I guess it becomes difficult to find a time to go away.

Just got me thinking if Princess Mary would be allowed to go to Australia over Christmas?

Whatever.... I hope the family have a lovely Christmas!

I don't know if the Dutch RF gives too much attention to Christmas... maybe more attention to Sinterklaas?

Their photoshoots are during their holidays and official engagements, have they given any kind of postcard picture or official 'best wishes' for Christmas in the past few years? Does anyone know?

Honestly, I didn't recall! Thanks for clarifying..

Neither do I, but also in the last Blauw Bloed programma (15/12) it is mentioned that they will be coming.

Esmeralda, I was checking the Royal Holidays thread and I didn't find anything from them. Maybe they send Christmas cards to friends but they display them on their website, like other royal families do.

Princess Máxima arrived to the country
The princess of the Netherlands, Máxima Zorreguieta, arrived yesterday morning, together with her 3 daughter, to Ezeiza Airport. There she was greeted by the staff of the Dutch Embassy.

thank you so much for the aricle! i wonder if W-A was with them too or travel later? I am sure they travel with bodyguards and babysitters, could you imagine such a long trip with 3 little girls?it is exsousting!!!!! they will have a great time christmas in the summer!!!!!!

Hi Ashelen,

The article does not mention Willem Alexander, only Máxima and the three girls.

According to this article, they arrived in a KLM flight from Amsterdam, via Paris. They were extremely discrete, and the other passengers only noticed their presence when the flight ended.

I can imagine, she probably wants to be incognito there! i wonder where will they stay? and how much spanish the girls can speak!!!nice, christmas and nice weather1

There are two probable options IMHO: her family residence in Recoleta (Buenos Aires) or the family countryside house in the outer BA (I believe their house is in Pingüinos Country Club, or Martindale CC, I don't remember exactly). I don't think they are staying at the Ambassador's residence - but that could be another one.

In recoleta in an appartment, with the 3 girls in the summer a little bit difficult , i think , probably in their house in Pinguinos where they can enjoy the summer time outside!

Probably true, plus a countryside home can provide them with more privacy for their stay.

I found no reports on her stay today, the media is completely silent about it! :ermm:

How lovely for Princess Maxima and the AAA girls to be able to get away with some privacy. The press is certainly careful about what they print after the legal smackdowns they have recieved at the hand of the DRF.

OUTCOME OF THE PRINCESS MAXIMA AND COMES THE QUEEN BEATRIX

In the coming hours, arrive to our country and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and his entourage, together with the prince and husband Max, William Alexander. They also will travel to La Angostura, where they have rented three houses in an exclusive country.

But surely Willem Alexander will be coming to Argentina too, to spend christmas with his family, won't he? Verde Esperalda, do you happen to know when the photoshoot will take place?

The photo shoot will take place on December 22nd

I don't know if this is a trustful information :ermm: I think it is a bit weird if the Queen is not going to spend the Christmas on her own Country.

I don't know where the photoshoot will take place, I would pressume in the Embassy? Or some place where they can keep journalists relatively in control...

Speaking of press, two papparazzo - pictures of Máxima & the girls with Jorge Zorreguieta & Carmen Cerruti eating ice-cream in an very well known ice cream-parlor in Callao Ave. (nearby her parent's residence) are published this week in a gossip magazine.

The article states that Máxima would be coming back to NL soon, to spend the New Year with the royal family. But again, this is a gossip magazine...

In the pictures, Máxima is wearing black, high - heeled shoes and golden earrings, and the same dark glasses she wore to her recent visit to Slovakia.

is it possible to post the pics on this forum?
