No it was just a retarted law that will probably be abolished (it hasn't happened yet).Originally posted by monaco70s@Dec 12th, 2003 - 9:58 am
Do you think they're somehow planning marrying Gabriel and Catharina-Amalia already ?
The stork seems to be very important...
While on the subject of movies and the name of " .. Amalia ..", a strange coincidence happened last evening ~ while I was watching the movie, "The House of Spirits", (starring Jeremy Irons, Meryl Streep, Winona Rider, Antonio Banderas, and Glenn Close). It was a movie about "revolutionary Argentina" where Jeremy Irons plays "a conservative senator" and "a patron" ~ rancher? farmer? ~ named "Estaban" and his wife is "Clara" (Meryl Streep), and their daughter (Winona Ryder) is named "Blanca". Blanca suffered as an "establishment upstart" along with her daughter's father, "Pedro", (Antonio Banderas) who constantly had to hide from sure death as he was a "counter - revolutionary" ~ and their only daughter's name was " .. Alma .. ".Originally posted by Alexandria@Dec 9th, 2003 - 3:06 pm
Is the French version of Catharina-Amalia's name Amelie (like in the movie with Audrey Tatou)? And the English version is Amelia, right?
These coins are a bit better than the other ones, indeed.Originally posted by The Watcher@Dec 12th, 2003 - 11:46 pm

Thank you, Helena, for correcting me. I had no idea that movie represented Chile instead of Argentina. I crave learning and so far I've learned quite a lot from this group. As far as the name of "Catherina-Amalia" is concerned, I think it's lovely and very regal along with the names of the grandmothers. I sure wish I could find a photo of Maxima holding her child, or even seeing Maxima, since their daughter has made her grand entrance upon the world stage. They both must be so proud !Originally posted by Helena@Dec 13th, 2003 - 5:35 pm
House of the spirits is about Chile, not Argentina. The author of the book isIsabelle Allende, daughter of the murdered presedent Allende (of Chile). His 'successor who staged the coup d'etat was the terrible General Augusto Pinochet. I do believe that the coup d'etat in Chile happened around the same time as the Videla-regime in Argentina (with Maxima's father as secretary of agriculture) was in power. Terrible regimes, both of them, with fascist methods.

What event is this outfit for that Maxima is getting fitted for? Catharina's baptism? Anyhow, she looks great considering she just gave birth a bit more than a week ago. How do these royal ladies look so good so soon after giving birth? Facing the public for formal presentation pictures of your new royal baby just a mere days after delivering him or her? Yikes! But I liked how Willem presented his daughter in this case so that Maxima could rest up.
If you read this caption closely, it is NOT Maxima in the picture, but her wax duplicate. Read this line carefully:Originally posted by Josefine@Dec 16th, 2003 - 12:07 pm
