Royal couple buy land in ArgentinaWednesday 25 November 2009 Crown prince Willem-Alexander and princess Máxima have bought a two hectare piece of land on a rural estate in Argentine Patagonia, magazine Elsevier reports on Wednesday. The land, on the edge of a lake in the exclusive ski resort of Villa La Angostura, is not far from the 1,500 hectare ranch the couple bought as an investment earlier this year. Last week the prince said he and his Argentine wife Máxima had decided to sell the villa they are building in Mozambique because of the adverse publicity. Local media put the price of the Argentine land at €2.5m. © DutchNews.nl
why is our tax money going into their royal pocket? By johnny | November 25, 2009 8:04 PM OK so they stopped with the other vacation home because of controversy about it. I guess someone needs to clue them in what people are against it for! Hint.. it isn't the LOCATION! ;) By Laura | November 26, 2009 8:39 AM Willem, go get a real job and then we would not give a damn where you live...go to mars we don't care...but while your at the Dutch trough stay here....and please Royalist, don't tell me again that's its their money they are using....it was our money first....they don't really have any of their own money....where do you think it came from. By alanposting | November 26, 2009 8:41 AM Why this is on the news. When I buy a house it will not make it to the news, the same should be applied to the Royal Family. We have accepted our tax money to go to the Royals even if it is not to the liking of some! It is their money and they are free to do with it what ever they want. By Al | November 26, 2009 11:58 AM Well the ex-president bush bought 99,000 acres in Paraguay. I guess they are going to start a "new world order" in South America after their holy war is over. By Paul Martin | November 26, 2009 12:16 PM We know where it is, impossible to protect. They are all making the list for when it is time to get rid of inbred genocidal assholes. By precisionshot | November 26, 2009 1:09 PM Funny, The Netherland's Royal family is on Forbes.com as having inherant wealth through family owned investment funds....... it is not the Dutch tax payer who is paying for this. By Solkhar | November 26, 2009 7:49 PM Where do you think the family owned investment funds came from....Did Beatrix have a restaurant job when she was young? The money at one point came from all of us...you royalist can't get away from this fact. "Its their money" just does not work anymore.... By alanposting | November 27, 2009 10:42 AM

Glad to see they are investing our tax money wisely and not risking investing it in, say, oo, the Netherlands.
Well, maybe it's a good thing, because the mothers of the victims of Maxima's father's government will be able to visit to chat about the old days.
