Well, I'm being a bit sarcastic, but BIG news here in Holland this week. Princess Maxima gave birth to her 3rd daughter on Tuesday night in the Hague. Maxima is the wife of Prince Willem-Alexander, the first in line to the throne, as his mother, Beatrix, is the current Queen. This morning, on LIVE tv (oh oh!), they announced the name of their third daughter, the 4th in line to the throne. This is hot off the presses people...less than 20 minutes old! The name of their child is Ariane Wilhelmina Maxima Inez.
As the news broke on Tuesday night that Maxima was in fact in labor...several great and wonderful citizens of this royal kingdom of the Netherlands gathered in front of the hospital and began singing (the dutch version of) 'happy birthday' and waving orange flags and the such. Really wonderful people, you know? haha
But in all seriousness, it is quite exciting to have another little one in the royal family. Congratulations to the lucky parents on a healthy little girl.
