Maxima: 2018 Events

I think 18 is a bit late to get started but maybe they are doing things behind the scenes

Wax and Max seem like loving, smart parents, and I have a feeling she's also getting discreet behind-the-scenes coaching and advice from Grandma Bea. I think 18 is fine to start in terms of carrying out some public duties.

I think you wouldn't have to go far to find royal parents that will happily yank their children out of school to go on holiday or provide a photo op for their mother    But WaxMax are far better parents than Fred and Mary.  This provides a much better example to their children.  Yes, it would have been nice had Amalia been there, but then knowing it was named after a school kid, perhaps the opening could have waited until the weekend?

I suspect all three girls are getting a behind the scenes education in a lot of thing relating to being a full-time working royal and what it means to be the sister of a monarch. Amalia isn't the only one who needs to know and understand how things work and what their position is going to entail. Doing Kings Day activities was a nice introduction for all three of them.
The younger two will also need career guidance and figure out what they want to do with the rest of their lives. Amalia needs to find something fulfilling to do while she waits until Wax steps down. As soon as she is done with school, she'll start university somewhere. And that will end her relative freedom.

December 19, 2018, Queen Maxima of The Netherlands attended the Christmas Gala Concert for the Biggest Schoolband at Brabanthallen 's-Hertogenbosch in Den Bosch, The Netherlands. Lang Leve de Muziek Show is a national music contest for primary schools.

Not that fond of the trousers, but I think this outfit looks nice on her. Fun to see her that engaged to her project of children and music.

Indeed- once again Satan designs a horrible yet probably expensive outfit.

But I love the childrens’ reactions to Max!

Only max could wear an outfit which includes a floppy bow on the pants and shoes and carry it off.

This is slightly o/t but does anyone know how tall Max is? She looks very tall, and I think this is how she can pull off those trousers so effectively!
Plus a recent photo of the family shows Amalia almost at her parents' height. Tia

I recall hearing that she is 5 ft 10 in.

Yes, Wikipedia says 5’10”.

[SvenskaSarah]

Thank you! She certainly is tall, but heck he looks a lot taller with the clothes she wears, a real figure of prowess and importance! I love her so much!

I think I would have the same reaction to Maxima! I just adore her. I think she has boatloads of charisma and works very hard for her country.
