Valentine’s Day is fast coming up, and for us royal-watchers, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the loving relationships of our favorite couples the world over. Every weekend until the day of hearts, I will feature a pair of royal sweethearts being close, sweet and loving through the years. This weekend, we celebrate the relationship of Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and Crown Princess Maxima of the Netherlands.
