Argentinian Twitter users reacted promptly, such as Juan Cruz Maldonado (@Chankra_Lad), who tweeted [es]:

@Chankra_Lad [es]: Máxima Zorreguieta will be Queen of the Netherlands. It's just typical, Argentinian succeed out of Argentina.

@MathiasCarnaghi: Festejar que Máxima Zorreguieta sea reina es seguir avalando la monarquía en el mundo. Dejen de estar al pedo [de estar ociosos] y gastar la guita de la gente!
@MathiasCarnaghi: To celebrate that Maxima Zorreguieta becomes queen is to keep on supporting monarchy around the world. Stop being lazy and spending people's money!
Also, the hashtag #Holanda [Nehterlands] became local trend.
The wedding of William and Maxima might not have taken place due to the bride's father's prior role in the Argentinian military dictatorship. The blog Comer Viajar Amar [es] writes about this [es]:
El noviazgo con Máxima en 1999 y su boda por amor, que estuvo a punto de frustrarse debido al pasado del padre de la novia, hicieron del príncipe una figura muy popular.
Guillermo y Máxima, la pareja heredera, contrajeron matrimonio en 2002 en la Iglesia Nueva de Ámsterdam. El padre de ella no pudo acudir por el rechazo que creó en la clase política holandesa el hecho de que hubiera ejercido un cargo público durante la última dictadura militar argentina (1976-1983), cuando se desempeñó secretario de Agricultura y Ganadería.
In 1999, Maxima's engagement and her for-love wedding, which almost got wrecked due to past of  the bride's father, made the Prince a very popular figure.
Guillermo y Máxima, the crown couple [es], got married in 2002 at the Nieuw Kerk in Amsterdam. Her father couldn't attend due to the rejection generated amolng the Dutch political class for having had a public post during the last Argentinian military dictatorship (1976-1983), when he was Secretary of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry.
Máxima earned the hearts of the Dutch people, and by April 30, 2013 the future Queen of the Netherlands is expected for her royal investiture.
