Finally, a constructive story coming out of a European Royal Family.
Lately, the European Royals have been a major source of scandals.
In the UK, former Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson immediately come to mind for their ties to Jeffrey Epstein and shady deals, followed by Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit with her own Epstein ties and her son Marius Borg Høiby on trial for rape, assault, threats, violence against partners, drug offenses, and more.
In Spain, minor royal Francisco de Borbón was arrested in major drug money laundering probe linked to a narcotics cartel.
In Denmark, King Frederik X and Queen Mary live amid rumors of marital crisis and tensions.
In the Swedish royal family, Princess Sofia is also amply featured in newly released Epstein documents and emails.
But thankfully, in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, a different kind of story is emerging, as we learn that Queen Máxima is reportedly training as a reservist in the Dutch armed forces.
Dutch News reported:
“The queen is 54, almost at the deadline for applying to be a reservist. Her husband king Willem-Alexander trained with the marines as a young man and has reserve ranks across the armed forces.
Last month, Máxima was recorded hugging her eldest daughter Amalia when she completed her own training to be a corporal in the armed forces.”

“The defense ministry has recently launched a campaign to boost the number of reservists in the armed forces, who can be called up to help out during unexpected events such as natural disasters and replace professional soldiers in their duties if there is a major conflict.”

In times of rising threats, she shows personal commitment to the security of the Netherlands.

The New York Times reported:
“Máxima, 54, chose to enlist because ‘our security can no longer be taken for granted’, the Royal House of the Netherlands said in a news release on Wednesday.
[…] The queen was appointed to the rank of soldier and began training on Wednesday. Pictures released by the Royal House showed her practicing shooting a handgun, climbing a rope and marching in formation.”
