We have been blessed with a new member of the Royal Family: princess Máxima gave birth yesterday evening to a little baby girl. If you want to watch a video click here (the man holding the baby is our crownprince Willem Alexander).
It is their third daughter, we’ll find out her name later this week (Friday).
Congratulations to them, and us.

Commenters who repeatedly or egregiously violate these standards or who attempt to argue
publicly with editors regarding the comments policy may be banned from commenting further.
(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly
or blatantly misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome. Comments that
respond to something other than which the contributor or commenter may have said are irrelevant and should
not be posted.

(3) Comments should not personally attack the character, personal integrity, or professional
reputation of any PoliGazette contributor or of other commenters.

the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.
(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements.
Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or
that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome. Comments that merely repeat
slogans for or against a candidate without engaging in substantive comment are not welcome.
Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors
by email only.
Awwww….how adorable. Congrats!
Suggestion for her name: “Princess Minima”? (since her mom is Maxima LOL)
LOL CS.
Congrats Indeed.
lol, Christine that joke funny… 6 years ago or something! It’s their third daughter… So…
Seriously: thank you.
Well, sorry if I haven’t been keeping tabs on the Dutch Royal family, Michael LOL. But yeah, I can see why it is probably quite a well worn joke there.
lol, why not? I would have expected at least some interest from you.
Nah, I’m just a self centered American, remember?
Yeah, although you could have left out “self centered”.
I mean, you’re not saying “wet rain” either, right?
True, Michael, just as I can leave off adjectives like “condescending” when speaking of Europeans.
C.S.: exactly! You’re quite fast for an American!
What a pretty little princess! Maybe America needs a royal family to distract us from the scandal du jour. Congratulations!
