Verde Esmeralda said:Has Beatrix ever made any statement on Máxima's growing popularity? (as mentioned in other thread, through a recent poll, she turns out to be even more popular than the Queen herself). I'm sure she really appreciates her, maybe as the daughter she never had, i don´t know...and she is for sure 100% conscious about the great good that she has done to her son as a future King, but still...?
Yes, on Queen's Day (April 30th) she made a reference to Princess Máxima in her speech on the stairs of the City Hall of 's-Hertogenbosch (Bois-le-Duc). Queen Beatrix stated: "We all miss our Máxima a bit, but you know the reason why she is not with us. [Loud cheer]. In our family we all are delighted with such a sweet healthy girl. [Loud cheer]. Again it was an unforgettable day! Thanky you all! [Loud cheer]"
The Queen and the Princess really like each other very much. On this picture you see the Queen proudly wearing the diamond-and-sapphire brooch she received as a present from the Zorreguieta's.
