Prinses (Princess) Amalia is feted by a fan of the House of Orange. Amalia has to be one of the most personable royal children by far. She is such a little character!

Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and his wife, Crown Princess Maxima, named their new daughter Ariane Wilhelmina Máxima Ines. She is fourth in line to the throne behind her father and sisters Princess Amalia and Princess Alexia.

The name Ariane was chosen because Willem and Maxima thought it was lovely, and wanted to keep the trend of starting their childrens’ names with an “A”. This Ariane can share with her sisters Alexia and Amalia (although Amalia’s first name is technically Catharina-Amalia).

The name Wilhelmina was chosen to honor Willem’s great-grandmother Queen Wilhelmina.

The name Máxima was chosen not just for the Crown Princess herself, but for her own great-grandmother, also named Máxima.

Ines is another family name, the name of Máxima’s youngest sister.

To approving applause from nurses at the Hague’s Bronovo Hospital, Crown Prince Willem-Alexander proudly showed off his daughter, who made her grand debut on Tuesday at 10pm.
