Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima Thank Well-Wishers

After the worry of Princess Ariane’s respiratory illness last month, the Prince of Orange and Princess Máxima of the Netherlands released a thank-you letter and a new photograph of Princess Ariane in her cradle on the Dutch Royal House website. In the letter, the couple expressed their gratefulness for the gifts and warm wishes that they had received since Princess Ariane’s arrival on April 10th and were truly touched by the response of support when Ariane was admitted to the hospital for treatment of her infection.

The thank-you letter (sorry, it is in Dutch only) can be read here.
