Of course you’ve all heard about [Pope Francis](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_francis) . . . and now the Queen of the Netherlands [is abdicating,](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22342870) leaving the throne to her son Prince Willem-Alexander, whose wife, [Princess Maxima,](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_M%C3%A1xima_of_the_Netherlands) is Argentine.

I dunno, though . . . “Queen Maxima” sounds just a little bit too [Evil Empress](http://nift.firedrake.org/EEmpress.htm) . . .
