Dutch Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and his wife, Crown Princess Maxima, are wondering what to do about the media when it comes to their personal lives.

The pair are usually quite good at staying below the photographers’ radar at home in Holland. The Dutch press is also restricted to the types of photos it can publish, too.

The media agreed last week that in exchange for a photo session at the Wassenaar beach, they would then abstain from taking pictures during the princely vacation in Argentina. Now, however, several different Dutch media outlets have provided published pictures of a vacationing Princess Maxima and her family, in breach of the Dutch Media code.

All bets were off in Argentina, where the European law banning photographers from snapping personal family holidays has gone unheeded. Several shots have been sold to various Spanish-language magazines and newspapers as well as major magazines like Hola! and Hello! These magazines are on sale in the Netherlands, which causes the problem with the Dutch Media code, although the magazines’ Dutch equivalents do not carry the photos at all.

What a Royal headache!
