Dit artikel over het privéverblijf in het zuid-Nieuw-Zeelandse Queenstown komt uit de plaatselijke krant en is geschreven door Lin Ferguson en Andrea Deuchrass. Het helpt in de discussie over het gedrag van de prins. Het hotelmanagement bevstigt nogmaals dat de media herhaaldelijk zijn gevraagd het prinselijk paar met rust te laten.
Media in Queenstown were surprised yesterday when the Crown Prince of the Netherlands said his holiday in the resort was none of their business. He was responding to a question about his holiday in the resort. "It's none of your business, it's private," the Prince of Orange said as he got into a cream Mercedes at Eichardt's Boutique Hotel. Just seconds earlier his Argentina-born princess, who is pregnant with the couple's third child, waved and smiled, saying she had "just loved" Queenstown.
Prince Willem-Alexander, heir to the Dutch throne, and Princess Maxima arrived in Queenstown on Saturday in a private jet. Their three-day visit to the resort was not part of their taxpayer-funded official visit. While in Queenstown, the royal pair stayed at the luxury Eichardt's Boutique Hotel on the lakefront. Hotel general manager Victoria Shaw said the couple "loved the hotel and their time in Queenstown, but it was their private time and they requested they have their privacy while they were here".
Before leaving the hotel yesterday, Princess Maxima had her hair styled by Crew Haircutters executive hairstylist Tina Fuller. Ms Fuller said the couple had spent time relaxing in the resort before a busy official trip to Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch and Auckland. "She enjoyed shopping and they went on a helicopter trip," she said. © GPD
