    *On Feb. 2, 2002, Crown Prince Willem-Alexander of The Netherlands and Argentine-born Máxima Zorreguieta married in Amsterdam. Their many guests included foreign royals, other friends and family members, and some Dutch political leaders (who had secured official approval for the marriage) but not the bride’s father. He did not attend because of concerns in The Netherlands about his association, as a former minister of agriculture, with the Argentine military dictatorship of Jorge Videla. Security in Amsterdam was tight for fear of international terrorism after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the U.S. While some acts of peaceful protest occurred in the city, the occasion was a festive one. Thousands of well-wishers celebrated in public, with many displaying items in orange, the royal colour.
