I think you're right. Charlene knows this child has to be healthy and she needs to do everything she can to ensure that. Staying at home and taking care of herself is the obvious choice for her. The baby will ensure her position in Monaco and among fellow royals more than a trip to the Netherlands where she was certain to be outshined by Maxima anyway. The Dutch queen has the personality and jewelcollection to outdo any rival of her generation. Only the Queen of the UK and Denmark are able to outdo her because of their trackrecord and personal regality.
