The Benelux Royals Message Board: Re: Queen Maxima on her way home now

It's an unbelievable horror for any family to go through. We had a suicide in my family - my niece at 24. Her parents have never been the same. I have been to many funerals in my life, but never have I seen such grief that was seen at this one. After 10 years, the family is still haunted by it and the questions never stop. ("Why didn't we see it coming? What could we have done? Why didn't she confide in us?")

How dreadful. Such a tragedy for someone to die so young.My heart goes out to the Queen and her entire family.

Everybody who went through the same thing as the Queen does now, feels for her in the knowledge that it leaves a hole that can never be filled.

Sadly it has been confirmed that it was a suicide. The young woman suffered from depressions.
Queen Maxima is already on her way to Buenos Aires and all her official engagements have been cancelled.
The State Visits to the Baltic countries (next week) will be undertaken by the King alone.
