Soy de argentina pero no es eso lo que me hace admirar a Máxima , eh ? Naciera donde naciera ella es esa mujer inigualable que transmite a todos los países lo que todos deberíamos practicar ...amistad , amor , responsabilidad e inteligencia ...Verdad ? Siento tb mucha empatía y respeto por el Rey Wilhelm porque conjuga seguridad pero tb hay momentos de mucha ternura en su vida : Viva el Rey !!!!!!!!!En cuanto a Máxima considero que no es nuestra ...ella es la Reina de los holandeses y a ellos dedicó su vida ! ( lo único argentino que no se puede obviar es " esa elegancia tan única de la.mujer argentina jajajajaaa )

I'd hold my own umbrella before I'd stand in the rain. That said; I think Queen Maxima is simply gorgeous, and so unpretentious. She always curtsies to other royals especially the elders. So beautiful. King Williem & the Queen just stood there in the pouring rain as the cannon salute went off; with that umbrella failure. Love this couple. Good to get in your flying hours as a pilot license is hard to earn.

This is quite a downpour. He must be a highly qualified pilot to be allowed to fly in this rain. They were a bit short of umbrellas at the top of the stairs. Getting soaked when you have to be somewhere and carry on is quite a problem, especially if it is particularly cold indoors. I trust the hosts were fully prepared for a stop at lodgings to change or had protections in place for brocade and other delicate furnishings that might be sat upon in wet clothes.
