DUTCH QUEEN MAXIMA'S SISTER FOUND DEAD OF APPARENT SUICIDE IN ARGENTINA
BY NICOLE ROJAS ON 6/7/18 AT 3:25 PM
Inés Zorreguieta, the younger sister of Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, was found dead at her home in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Wednesday night. The 33-year-old is believed to have died of an apparent suicide.
“It is presumed that it was a suicide,” a spokesperson for the Dutch government told Argentinian newspaper La Nación. The spokesperson did not elaborate on details.
Zorreguieta, who was a bridesmaid at her sister’s wedding to the then Dutch Crown Prince Willem-Alexander in 2002, worked in the Argentinian government as an official in the Ministry of Social Development. Queen Maxima, who was born in Argentina, was “very shocked and very sad” to learn about her sister's death, according to the royal house.
The BBC reported that Maxima canceled upcoming royal engagements, including a state visit to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Her husband, King Willem-Alexander, will carry out the visits next week alone. The queen is believed to be planning to travel to Buenos Aires, according to People.
