Another Argentine Porteño Occupies a Throne

Meet Queen Máxima of the Netherlands.

With the abdication of Queen Beatrix, her son, Crown Prince Willem-Alexander, becomes King of the Netherlands, and his Argentine-born Princess, Máxima, becomes Queen. According to Wikipedia, Máxima “remained a Roman Catholic after her marriage” to the current head of the Protestant House of Orange-Nassau, the same house that gave us William III of England (of William and Mary fame), whose anti-Catholic partisans were known as “Orangemen” because of William’s title, “Prince of Orange.

Queen Máxima is from Buenos Aires, hence she is a Porteña, like the Porteño Pope Francis.

Let the Papal-Duch-Argentine conspiracy theories begin!
