Princess Ariane weighed 4.135 kilograms (9.12 pounds) and was 52 centimeters (20.5 inches) long at birth.[3]Prime Minister Balkenende addressed the nation shortly afterwards and said both mother and child were healthy and doing well.[4] The next morning, Prince Willem-Alexander appeared on television with his new daughter.[5] The names of the baby were announced on 13 April, when the birth was registered in The Hague.[6]
Names and titles
Her given names are Ariane Wilhelmina Máxima Ines. The names were announced by her father on 13 April 2007.[6] The origin of the name Ariane is speculated about. It can either come from the Latin name Hadrian or from the Greek name Ariadne.[7] Like her sisters Princess Amalia and Princess Alexia her first name starts with an A, according to King Willem-Alexander "to conclude the triple A rating".[8]
By Royal Decree of 25 January 2002, nr. 41 is determined that all children of Prince Willem-Alexander will bear the title of Prince (Princess) of the Netherlands and Prince (Princess) of Orange-Nassau.[9]
Her full style is Her Royal Highness Ariane Wilhelmina Máxima Inés, Princess of the Netherlands, Princess of Orange-Nassau (Dutch: Hare Koninklijke Hoogheid Ariane Wilhelmina Máxima Ines, Prinses der Nederlanden, Prinses van Oranje-Nassau).
Princess Ariane has two elder sisters, the princesses Catharina-Amalia and Alexia.
Hospitalization
On 2 May 2007, Princess Ariane was admitted to the Leiden University medical centre with a suspected lung infection.[10] She was released from the hospital on 5 May 2007 after treatment for her bacterial and viral infection.[11] On 13 June 2007, Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima released a thank you note "not only for the congratulations upon Ariane's birth but also for the best wishes they received upon her hospitalisation" and released a third official picture with their newborn daughter. The couple reportedly received over 30,000 letters of well-wishers.[12] On 8 October 2009, Princess Ariane was again admitted to a hospital, in which she had to stay for one night, due to a respiratory infection.[13]
Baptism
Princess Ariane was baptized in the Abbey Church in The Hague on 20 October 2007. Vicar Deodaat van der Boon used water from the Jordan River to baptize the princess, who was wearing the christening gown that Princess Wilhelmina first wore in 1880.[14] Over 850 guests were invited to attend, including Princess Máxima's parents and Dutch prime minister Jan Peter Balkenende.
The godparents of Princess Ariane are Valeria Delger, Inés Zorreguieta, Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume of Luxembourg, Tijo Baron Collot d’Escury, and Anton Friling.[15]
