There was previously concern surrounding Maxima's father, Jorge Zorreguieta.
Mr Zorreguieta was the agriculture minister during Argentina's brutal military dictatorship, serving during the country's infamous Dirty War. Though Maxima was a child at the time, the link initially created some controversy.

There was a campaign to have Mr Zorreguieta arrested and put on trial for crimes against humanity if he entered the Netherlands. This has since been dismissed - but there may again be problems if charges are ever brought against him in Argentina.

Notably, he did not attend her wedding in 2002 nor the inauguration in April 2013 following Beatrix's abdication.
When questions began to be asked of Maxima's suitability, then-Queen Beatrix publicly gave her the royal seal of approval.
She appeared alongside the new couple on her 63rd birthday and, during a rare public appearance to announce their engagement, the queen described her daughter-in-law as "an intelligent modern woman".
