Celebrity Wedding
Princess Style Diary: Princess Máxima of the Netherlands
She was born with a queen’s name and queen she will be. On April 30, Maxima Zorreguieta will become the first Argentinean to become a monarch. Her husband since 2002, Dutch Crown Prince Willem-Alexander, will accede the throne of the Netherlands after his mother, Queen Beatrix, abdicates to his favor. Maxima has been married to the heir to the Dutch throne for 11 years. Her freshness, true love story and spontaneity made her way into the royal family and citizens’ hearts.

Royal Bride: Archduke of Austria Christoph of Habsbourg-Lorraine and Adelaide Drape-Frisch
Christoph of Habsbourg-Lorraine, the Archduke of Austria, wed Adelaide Drape-Frisch on Dec. 29, making her the newest Archduchess of Austria. 24-year-old Christoph is the son of Archduke Karl Christian of Habsbourg-Lorraine and Princess Marie Astrid of Luxembourg, herself the daughter of Grand Duke Jean I of Luxembourg and Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte of Belgium. In other words, Christoph is super royal.
Adelaide, on the other hand, is not: she’s the daughter of Philippe Drapé-Frisch, a French diplomat who moved his family across Europe throughout her childhood. The 22-year-old student met her fiance at Jeunesse Lumière, a Catholic school where the pair spent a gap year between high school and college.
Royal Bride: Mohammed VI and Salma Bennani of Morroco
The marriage of Mohammed VI and Salma Bennani changed the history of royal marriage in Morocco. Traditionally, the wife of the king hasn’t had a public role to play. Moroccan kings have typically been polygamists prone to secret marriages to wives who remain private figures. The current king’s own mother is not photographed, and there is no “queen consort” title in Morocco.

Princess Lalla Salma of Morocco is the princess consort of King Mohammed VI of Morocco and the first wife of a Moroccan ruler to have been publicly acknowledged and given a royal title. Salma married King Mohammed VI on 12 October 2001 (nikah) and on 21 March 2002 (zifaf), at the Dar al-Makhzin, Rabat, and was granted the personal title of Princess with the style of Her Royal Highness on her marriage.

Steal that style: Julio Iglesias Jr. and Charisse Verhaert
If you are the son of one of the greatest spanish singer as Julio Iglesias and successful businesswoman and media darling and notorious socialite as Isabel Preysler than you wedding day is bound to be a social event.
And Julio Iglesias Junior didn’t seem to mind that at all when he married Belgian model Charisse Verhaert. Hola paid for the exclusive photos and I must say the wedding doesn’t look bad at all. I’m in love with the location and the vintage feel of the gown. The wedding took place in Aldea del Fresno, outside Madrid, and the bride wore a lace gown designed by Manuel Mota for Pronovias. Congrats to the happy couple.
Princess Style Diary: Victoria of Sweden
Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden is one tough lady and one of my favorite princesses – she will inherit her father’s throne, has an amazing love and respect for her husband (pretty sure you all remember that fabulous wedding they had) but most of all she is imperfect like all of us.
Victoria is one of the few members of royal families that have admitted to suffering from eating disorders, having low self esteem and battling depression. And that hasn’t made her look weak at all, to me she is the living proof that you can have it all and yet feel uncomfortable with yourself – a far cry truth from all those “i am perfect with a perfect life” stories that celebs feed us these days.
Princess Victoria defeated her demons, married a handsome and loving man and has a beautiful baby daughter. She grew spiritually and emotionally and she proves we can all tackle our problems and get that lovely life we all deserve. For one who really hated how she looked like (exact quote: I really hated how I looked like, how I was) she is today a true fashion icon and a model for women of all shapes and sizes. Victoria of Sweden is indeed a princess of our world!
