Queen Maxima was left “shocked and sad” following the death of her 33-year-old sister, who was found found dead at her apartment in Argentina earlier this month.
Ms Zorreguieta, godmother to Queen Maxima’s 11-year-old daughter Princess Ariane, is believed to have suffered from depression.

“Ines was unique and deeply dear to us, so the grief is great.”
