Meet the parents

The princess is the eldest child of Willem-Alexander, who became King of the Netherlands in 2013, and Queen Maxima, the first Argentine-born queen in Dutch history. When the couple met in 1999, Willem-Alexander introduced himself to Maxima, who was working at an NYC investment bank at the time, as simply "Alexander" in an attempt to hide the fact that he was going to be king of an entire freaking country. Nothing works better to calm the nerves about meeting the parents than finding out they're royalty!
