20. She's Australian, mate. Comes from Tassie.

We're quite proud of her.

Her Dutch counterpart is Princess Maxima, a beautiful (not that that is important), intelligent woman married to Crown Prince Willem-Alexander. She is Argentinian by birth. Her father couldn't come to her wedding in Holland because he was involved with the junta during the "bad" days in Argentina, although he didn't seem to be directly connected to any misdeeds.

She speaks perfect Dutch. I think she was locked away (in the nicest sense) so that she could address the nation in perfect Dutch. The Dutch love her.
