It's been 22 years since they got married, Willem-Alexander ascended the throne in 2013, so the first ten years of Máxima's royal life largely took place during her time as Crown Princess. The Dutch royal family is famous for its massive jewelry collection, and thanks to its solid foundation and generous management style, female members of the royal family can freely use a variety of precious jewelry. In 2001, Máxima attended a royal event in Norway as the fiancée of the Crown Prince of the Netherlands. Strictly speaking, she had not yet officially become a member of the Dutch royal family at that time, but she did wear a crown.
The tiara that Máxima wore at her wedding was an improved version of the Dutch Pearl Button Crown, with the top changed to star motifs, turning it into a completely new tiara. In addition to the three large crowns reserved for Queen Máxima, during her time as Crown Princess, she wore most of the crowns she wanted to wear. In addition, she discovered a small hair comb given by Prince Henry, Queen Wilhelmina's husband. Due to its small size, this hairbrush did not receive much attention from the previous two generations of Dutch queens. The effect of wearing this hairbrush as a crown is shown below and Máxima only wore it once in 2013.
Other court jewelry discovered by Máxima included at least the following items. This is Queen Emma's feather brooch, which Máxima wore as a hair accessory. This is the diamond flower watch given to Queen Juliana on her 50th birthday, which Máxima wore to the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden. Some eye-catching pieces of jewelry may have been gifted by Willem-Alexander or purchased by Máxima herself, such as this faux Cartier Tutti Frutti necklace and bracelet, and these detachable emerald earrings. After Willem-Alexander and Máxima married,
they had three daughters, Amalia, born in 2003, Alexia, born in 2005, and Ariane, born in 2007.All of their names start with the letter "A". The Dutch royal family has had a distinctive fertility pattern in recent generations. First, there are three consecutive generations of queens. Thereafter, former Queen Beatrix and her sister, who retained the succession, had a total of seven sons. However, of Beatrix's eight grandchildren, only one was a boy. Over the years, photos of the three young princesses at various events are truly filled with cuteness and festive charm. Of course, they have grown quite a bit over the years, which is a completely different matter, since they inherited their parents' big bone genes. To this day, we still don't understand why Queen Máxima, born in Argentina, liked the Belgian brand Natan so much. The only reasonable explanation could be a common sympathy with Queen Mathilde of Belgium.
As an Argentinian, Queen Máxima embodies the bubbly and extroverted stereotype often associated with South Americans. While members of the royal family often maintain polite smiles at positive events, Máxima often appears very buoyant compared to others. Sometimes, she may not exactly feel cheerful, but she exudes warmth and festivity. This characteristic fits King Willem-Alexander and the general atmosphere of the Dutch royal family, which is famous for its lack of pretense. Máxima's emotional expression was especially evident at the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden in 2010, where she actually shed tears. Despite her bubbly demeanor, she maintained a respectful attitude in formal settings, which I consider a fundamental aspect of her demeanor.
