Máxima! Máxima!

Picture, picture, Máxima! Please!

Your Majesty, what do you think about our country?

Oh, I love your country a lot. Yes, it's beautiful.

Although the weather is a little bit disappointing, I think.

- Thank you. - Thank you very much.

Máxima!

Máxima, how does it feel to be home again?

I am very happy. Yes.

Are you going to visit your family during your stay?

Why is your father not here?

- I'll try to see them as much as I can. - Thank you so much, Máxima.

These are Máxima's words.

We heard about her visit,

she will try to see her family in the following days.

The mothers of Plaza de Mayo demanded explanations from the junta

regarding their missing children.

The beginning of their protest was not premeditated.

Exhausted by the lack of answers from the Videla regime,

and desperate to find their disappeared children,

they believed that if they went to the Plaza de Mayo,

they would attract Videla's attention.

The first time, on the 30th of May, 1977, only fourteen women gathered.

Little by little, more mothers joined them.

And one day, a police man approached them and said that they could not stand still,

because it was forbidden to reunite under the state of siege.

So, the mothers are starting to circulate.

That is, to walk around the monolith of Plaza de Mayo.

And that's how the Rondas de las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo began.

This man over here is Nobel Peace Prize laureate and political activist

Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, who is here today.

It's an honor, Mr. Pérez.

And a real pleasure for me.

Mr. Pérez, it is also an honor for me.

A pleasure.

Princess Máxima.

Hi, princess.

A pleasure.

For me, a lot.

Can I give you a kiss?

Yes, of course.

The grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo want to meet you.

Without your father, of course.

Hi, how are you doing?

And you know that the peanut butter is on sale today?

Get three for the price of two.

Okay.

We still need to scan this.

- Don't forget that. - Sorry. Forgot something again.

- An apple. - Alex?

- What are you doing? - There she is.

Open checkout, please. Chantal, open checkout.

Jesus, Alex. It's half past nine.

- Come, join us. - It's 33.

- Yes. It's 33 euro. - Yes.

Mom, do you have some money?

I'd love to, sweetie, but mom has to go to work.

That also costs this.

- And dad, too. - Well, come on. Just join us.

You have a meeting and you said you'd help me.

I canceled it.

- Why? - She had a fever again this morning.

Alex, fevers come and go, you know that.

Good luck getting me out of here. Oh, and the tangerines.

There.

So, what do you want?

Noor says I have to be careful.

- This Pauw wraps women around his hand. - Finger.

It will be fine, you got this.

Just wrap Jeroen around your finger. 'El camino Argentino.'

- Yes. - There you go. The lettuce, madam.

Say bye to mommy. Good luck.

Bye, bye.

- Bye. - Good luck.

- Milk costs 33. - 33?

- Yes. - Jeez, that's expensive milk.

Let's see. The pizza, is it still on sale?

...the guidelines, the questions we've spoken about.

Of course. - ...that were communicated.

Ah, there she is. Nice.

- Royal Highness. - Mr. Pauw. Nice to meet you.

Likewise. You look ravishing.

Thank you.

I brought a little something,

a wine from Argentina.

Very nice.

We're going to save it.

Well, Royal Highness, welcome.

Although I'm actually visiting you.

Do you feel that you are fully integrated?

What is being integrated?

I think I feel at home and that is already very important.

I've already been through quite something.

Visits and, yes, studying the Netherlands and the Dutch.

So, I can say that.

- Yes, you're also pregnant. - That's right.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

What does that work actually entail? What does a princess do?

As you know, I am a member of the PaVEM committee.

This is to improve the situation for immigrant women in the Netherlands.

I'm also an advisor to the UN on micro loans.

So, I guess...

Yes, what is my job?

I can't talk about what a que... a princess does,

for example.

Apart from the part of being present, of course, state visits

and the whole official side.

But, it is also a personal interpretation.

Integration and social cohesion are things that I'm very interested in.

There is a lot of discussion about integration.

About us, them, Muslims, non-Muslims.

It seems like a difficult area for a princess.

Do you feel comfortable with that?

Why a difficult area?

I think a lot of attention is being paid to your words.

Yes, but I don't dwell on my limitations.

I actually think, because I have so much space,

I'm apolitical.

I put myself above the political atmosphere.

And I'm also an immigrant, so.

But would you also say that, now that your family is expanding more,

that you will focus more on the family and less on being a princess?

So more on being a housewife?

Yes, no. No.

I probably want the impossible.

I want it all.

But there is still much to be done.

Many women still do not have the resources to the...

No.

...do not have the access to the resources,

knowledge or networks

they need to take full advantage of these opportunities.

Hi.

Hey.

Is everything okay over here?

Yes, yes, yes. I'm good.

I could cancel the reception afterwards, if you want to.

- If you're too tired? - No.

- No, no. It's fine, I'm fine. - Sure?

- Yes, yes. - Okay.

Thank you.

I firmly believe that when women are economically empowered,

entire communities and even countries can move forward.

- Hey. - Hey.

How are things over there?

I miss you.

Yes, I miss you too.

And there is someone next to me who can join in on that subject.

Hi, mommy!

Hi, my baby.

Mommy, where are you?

When are you coming home?

Yes, when are you coming home?

Soon, mom still has a few things to do.

Papa, Alexia is crying.

Yes, I'm going to see her. You talk to mom, baby.

Mommy, could you read me a story?

About Anansi the Spider?

Okay, let's see what Anansi the Spider is up to this time.

A taste of their own medicine.

Anansi is busy harvesting in his garden.

He doesn't like his job because it's too hard.

Let's stay on topic.

I understand what you mean, but I understood that Mr. van der Bent,

during the period that he was unable to work due to the accident,

- has missed quite a bit of income. - Yes, 50.000 euro.

- Not to mention expenses. - Mr. van der Bent.

This is the last time I'm warning you.

Yes, fine.

Your Honor,

that is simply part of the risk of being self-employed.

The princess cannot be held responsible for his lack of an incapacity insurance.

Do you know what such insurances cost?

- Mr. van der Bent. - Yes.

The court finds that Mr. van der Bent had priority.

The court classifies the road Princess Máxima drove from as an exit,

Therefore, Princess Máxima should have given priority.

However, the court finds that Mr. van der Bent

is not entirely innocent.

He drove on a road that was only intended for local traffic,

exceeded the speed limit and did not wear a seat belt.

The court finds that 75% of the damage

is attributable to Mr. van der Bent's own behavior.

The remaining 25% of the damage must be compensated by Princess Máxima.

So that's how things go.

I hereby close the hearing.

Nice.

It's so...

Gray.

Boring.

So...

Empty.

- Dutch. - Yes.

Let's go home.

No. To school.

To school?

- Oh God, lice parent, right. - Yes.

We have to prepare for the state visit to Argentina tomorrow.

It takes place in March.

Am I going to have enough time to prepare?

Yes.

They're going to be watching every step I take.

I want to know all the details on the itinerary.

And I want a list with pictures of everyone who will be there

and who I'm going to be speaking with.

- I'll make sure you get that. - Backgrounds, inside information.

And no going over old grounds.

No questions about my father.

Yes, I know.

No surprises, please.

Mr. President, your country has endured some very difficult years.

The period of Videla's military dictatorship,

with all its horrors and violations of human rights

made a deep impression in our country at that time.

Argentina still suffers from the legacy of those dark years.

You have acknowledged this problem and courageously made it a public issue.

Your government is trying now to deliver justice to the victims

in the conviction that coming to terms with the past

is a precondition

for building a stable society.

Argentina and the Netherlands are many miles apart...

Don't take it personally.

Cheers, cheers Inés. - To the Fernet.

How can I convince you to come and visit?

To do what, over there?

We can go to...

There are many concerts in the summer.

Madonna is coming in September.

Let's go together?

No, I'm more team Amy, but...

Then let's go there. You can stay with me.

Amalia enjoys speaking Spanish with you.

Okay, we'll see.

Look, there's the minister of culture. I already told him about you.

He has a number of programs for foreign students.

Máx, no.

Come on, go Inés. Go. Only for a moment, come on.

Don't embarrass me. I don't want to, really.

Just leave her be.

Look, it's like we're watching a Coca-Cola commercial.

That's how they're acting.

Fortunately, he didn't hear her speech this morning.

Sometimes I really don't get them.

Well, at least dad is laughing.

What do you mean?

He's been unbearable lately.

Fortunately, mom is around to calm things down and keep the balance.

Otherwise, it would be impossible.

Your marriage has caused a stir.

Things aren't the way they used to be.

Are you hiding?

Stalking.

Anyone in particular?

A mysterious princess.

Do you have a strategy?

I just go for it.

- Well, I've heard she's already taken. - Oh, really?

Every disadvantage has its advantage.

Hazes?

Cruyff.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a place of our own?

Not here, not in the Netherlands, but...

somewhere else, more far.

Just for us.

For our family.

Where we can be ourselves without being bothered.

Keep talking.

Somewhere warm,

where it's sunny.

Next to the sea.

Maybe Spain?

I think that's a really good idea.

Yes, so we are looking for an extra nanny who could take over some tasks from Paz.

On Thursday, Amalia gets her DKTP vaccination

and on Friday, there is a dinner with Her Majesty the Queen.

But you could skip that for once.

No, no, no. I want to be there.

- And at that vaccination, too. - Okay.

Then we go to Thailand for the king's anniversary.

And then on to Basel

for the UN keynote speech at the financial sector conference.

- Will I be the first speaker? - Yes.

I want to take the initiative in the discussions.

Yes, you will be the first speaker. I'll put together a draft version.

And then, on Wednesday, there is a fitting at Jan Taminiau

and an appointment with an architect?

- Yes. - Okay.

Then there is a request

from the Scientific Council for Government Policy.

If you'd like to give a speech

at the publication of the report 'Identification with the Netherlands'.

- 'Identification with the Netherlands'? - M-hm.

- Am I the right person for that? - Well, you're triple-integrated.

So you're the expert.

And...

the grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo have submitted a request.

Again.

No.

Maybe it's time.

Mozambique.

Do you like it?

Honey, it's perfect.

If we sign, they'll be able to start with construction pretty soon.

Right.

It is a community project. The architect is super excited about it.

He says that it's a one in a million opportunity.

And it's Africa.

My father would have loved this.

It's perfect.

It's near the water, it's...

It's perfect for a family of five.

- Really? - Yes.

How do you feel, are you okay? Yes?

What the hell can you say in 140 characters?

Well, you nothing, you just rattle on and on.

That's what makes it so good. Everyone is sharp and to the point.

Well, "I'm on the toilet."

Exactly. Who wants to know about the bullshit you're up to?

It's fun,

connecting. I think it's exciting.

Okay, wait a minute.

So you're going read what others are typing all day?

Yes.

From total strangers?

No, of course not. Surely you can choose who you want to follow.

Yes, you and I would follow Clinton, for example.

- Yes. - And Alex Huntelaar.

Or Kim Jung-il.

And it's a nice way to express yourself.

Express? Well, not me.

- Will you also be Twittering yourself? - Tweeting!

- Pay some attention, Petra. - Friso.

And you, mom? Is the queen going to Tweet?

Definitely not.

- Do you know who'll be Tweeting? Wilders. - Oh, Wilders.

The Freedom Party.

They don't exactly have a copywriter.

Oh, those one-man parties.

They have only one advantage, which is that they can say what they want,

because they have no party line to take into account.

They enjoy short-lived popularity, but can't find enough capable people

to run the country and they end up driving each other out.

Look at the LPF. No, it probably won't come to that.

And besides, democracy is not for the fearsome.

Fries, I'm still eating.

That's okay.

Your arrogance is beyond disturbing, you know.

You really have no idea what you're talking about.

I saw for myself in Argentina just how fast things can change.

Political change often thrives

when latent beliefs and values are activated.

Not because people suddenly become convinced of a new idea or position.

Populism isn't just a hype.

It's a pretty big and steady reservoir.

It's waiting to be addressed by guys like Wilders.

He perfectly knows just how deep that reservoir actually is.

Deep enough that tapping even a small portion

could be a huge election victory for him.

So, I don't think it's about being 'not scared'.

It's about being aware of the fact

that a lot of people simply do not care about democracy or greater good.

They are concerned that their culture and their values are being ignored.

That's over 140 characters.

Other than that, great speech.

Your country has endured some very difficult years.

Things aren't the way they used to be.

Argentina still suffers from the legacy of those dark years.

The grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo want to meet you.

Maybe it's time.

Your Royal Highness?

I'm going,

but not without you.

Very well.

I'll call the ambassador and set it in motion.

Okay, see you in a bit.

Come.

First one home wins!

Thank you for coming so quickly.

- Yes, shall we? - Yes.

Oh, yes. Before we move on to the agenda,

the butcher.

That's settled now, but maybe it's a nice idea

to reach out in order to wrap it up.

Why would I do that?

Well, a small gesture. Won't hurt you.

I think it's enough that we pay the 25%.

Okay, fine.

Our daughters were pregnant when they were abducted.

Once they gave birth, their babies were stolen,

and they were killed.

Our grandchildren were the spoils of war.

The army registered them as their own children.

They stole their identity.

The grandmothers started meeting,

because we had a twofold common goal,

to find our daughters and get our grandchildren back.

Do you know how many babies were stolen?

We estimate that during the military dictatorship,

around 500 grandchildren were taken.

Alba.

My youngest daughter.

She was 18 years old.

It was a girl.

So happy and smart.

She said she wanted to study medicine because she wanted to help others.

She was in love... and pregnant.

That morning, as always, she got up.

She gave me a kiss and before she left, she said, "Mom,

when all this is over, I'll take you to the mountains."

She knew I wanted to see my mountains again.

Where I grew up, where I was born.

Can you imagine?

I gave her a kiss.

And I never saw her again.

I don't know where Alba's body is.

And that...

breaks my heart.

But luckily,

as mothers we have a DNA bank.

I was able to find my granddaughter.

You're a mom too, right?

Yes.

Yes, I have two daughters.

And another one on the way.

My dad...

Máxima,

you don't have to take responsibility for what your father did.

What he did was his responsibility.

We are glad to be here and that you opened your eyes.

And that you came to us.

It's going to be really tight.

I need to do this, Noor.

Inés.

Open up, it's me!

What is going on?

My little sister lives here. She won't open the door.

Damn it, why does there always have to be something?

At night, it's like she's demolishing the house

and during the day, she never stops with that music.

What are you doing here?

- Surprise! - Yes.

Take a seat, if you want to.

Love your place.

Thanks.

Do you want coffee?

No, no, thanks.

I'll only stay for a bit.

Without coffee, I can't function.

I wanted to ask you something.

What?

Do you want to be my third daughter's godmother?

Really?

Yes.

- Are you pregnant again? - Yes.

And...

I thought that maybe you could come live with us.

We can always use an extra nanny.

No, Máx.

I don't want to be anyone's babysitter.

I'm fine here. I have my life, my stuff, my home.

I don't want to live in another country. Yes?

If you don't want coffee, I can make you something else.

Inés, some change will be good for you.

Change of scenery, meeting new people.

I don't want to.

I'll be down in a minute.

Yes, really.

Yes. Thank you.

Duty calls.

Go.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Ah, Mozambique?

Yes.

It doesn't look like much yet, but it's going to be amazing.

Is it really that good of an idea, such a big villa in a poor country?

It's a social project.

We're creating jobs, there will be a school.

We are building a future for the people involved in the project.

I just sometimes hear that these kinds of social projects

sometimes do more harm than good.

Shall we get to work?

Yes.

According to United Nations figures,

175 million people on this planet live in a country where they weren't born.

I am one of those 175 million.

Is that okay to say?

Yes, for sure. Sure, yes.

There is a signpost in front of our house.

One of those real ANWB signposts.

That signpost provides the coordinates of my life.

Buenos Aires, New York, Brussels, The Hague, Wassenaar.

A lot of people in our country are strongly interested in the identity-theme.

- Strongly interested. - Strongly interested.

Not just in science and in political environments, but everywhere.

About seven years ago, my search for the Dutch identity began.

I had the privilege to meet a lot of people.

To see, hear and taste a lot of the Netherlands.

But, 'the' Dutch identity?

No, I didn't find it.

The Netherlands is far too multidimensional to sum up in one cliché.

'The' Dutchman does not exist.

As a consolation, I can tell you that 'the' Argentinian does not exist either.

I therefore find it very interesting that the WRR report

isn't called 'the Dutch Identity', but 'Identification with the Netherlands'.

This leaves room for development

and diversity.

She really said, 'the Dutchman doesn't exist'.

She literally said, 'the Dutchman doesn't exist'.

Have you seen the papers? And Twitter?

I've taken note of it, yes.

It's all over the news.

Yes, look, both the prime minister and two ministers

have checked your speech and approved it.

So now, it just looks like the opposition, Wilders in particular, used it to score.

- To score? - Yes.

They're destroying me.

The entire House of Representatives is making a scene about it.

I meant it as a compliment.

I wanted to emphasize the country's diversity.

How everybody is different, there is not one right way of being.

It's a dirty game and it was definitely not played fairly.

- I agree with you. - It was your idea.

You helped me write it.

- It will be fine. - I trusted you.

You persuaded me to do it, you threw me under the train.

Bus.

- Well, I guess that everybody hates me. - That's not true, cookie.

98% of people loved your speech.

It's just 2% that happens to have a press card

and they need something to write about. It's absolutely ridiculous.

I don't know.

Hello.

Your mom is a little stressed.

Tell her to calm down.

Because to me, she doesn't...

she just doesn't listen.

I am proud to announce that another little princess has been born.

There were some complications.

Both daughter and mother are doing very well.

And what is the name of the new princess?

Ariane Wilhelmina Máxima Inés.

We call her Ariane.

We wanted to complete the triple A rating.

Princess Ariane, the youngest daughter

of Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima,

was admitted to the hospital today.

The little princess was born three weeks ago

in The Bronovo Hospital in The Hague.

And?

Things are looking better. The antibiotics are doing their job.

The pneumonia is under control.

Children quickly catch a virus, especially just after birth.

- They are still very vulnerable. - Okay.

I would prefer to keep her for a few more days.

That also gives you a little more time to recover.

Okay. Yes, that's fine.

Fine.

Yes. Yes, okay.

- Yes. - Can I see her for a bit?

Of course, yes.

High blood pressure, poor sleep.

It's really important that your wife rests well.

And doesn't give 200% again straight away.

That's not going to be very easy, but I'm going to do everything I can.

Surprise.

Look.

Surprise.

Surprise.

Oh, look.

Hey, my love.

She was done waiting in the hospital.

Hi.

She's just as cute as her mom.

No. Much more beautiful.

I have another surprise for you.

Inés!

I can't believe it.

- When did you arrive? - I just arrived.

Hello.

Very nice.

Beautiful.

Inés, do you want tea?

Yes, thanks.

This is Inés.

She is your godmother.

Hello.

I'm really glad you're here.

Yes, I didn't want to miss this for the world.

And it works better than any therapy.

Did you name her after me?

Thanks.

That really is a gift to me.

How can I not name her after you?

Come to your aunt.

Yes.

Hello.

Very good.

Yes.

I baptize you, Ariane Wilhelmina Máxima Inés

in the name of the Father,

the Son,

and the Holy Spirit.
