For years, Queen Máxima has been the most popular member of the Dutch royal family. But how well do we know her? Royalty journalist Rick Evers followed her very closely for a year. More than Majesty, a unique view behind the palace doors, which normally remain hermetically closed.
Even when the cameras are off, he sees how Máxima dedicates herself with heart and soul to, among others, the United Nations, the "Orange Foundation" and as honorary president of "Méér Muziek in de Klas". What makes her so successful and so immensely popular?
Based on exclusive conversations with the queen and the people around her, Rick Evers sketches a revealing portrait. Máxima appears to be a workaholic who wants to reach, inspire and motivate as many people as possible with her work. At the same time, she is involved in the broad outlines and the smallest details of her husband's work. She constantly balances between her work as queen and her duties as the mother of three daughters. We have never come so close to Queen Máxima. Hardback edition, in Dutch only, size 19.2x24 cm, many photos.
