Queen Maxima: 'There are no fairy tales, only hard work' | Talk to Al Jazeera 

It's going to produce nothing..it just a photo ops

She was a hostess in Brussels. After the relationship with Willem became more serious ‘they’ moved her ‘upstairs’ to a more fancy office. Guess why.

@@louisdewit4429 a hostess? Lol, read Wikipedia.

Totally agree

No she isn't. She works for the destruction of humanity.

Which higher cast are you from ? Stretching out to the parias.

I don't think you understand what being useful is

@@freemanol Haha, please, enlighten me🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Different backgrounds, times, upbringing. Unfair to compare.

Which british Queen? The current one? She could only excel at drinking brandy with Charles or having power naps

Queen Elizabeth was a hard working lady ,she did a lot for a lot of people around the world ,especially African countries,but to be fair these are two completely different generations ,she also did a lot for the fine arts in her country and that is one amazing contribution that will live for generations to come !

she sells The Netherlands to the WEF !!!!!!!

@@sytskebierma255 How do you mean...sorry i do not understand.

You are just a uneducated American who never traveled. Your opinion is worthless

No, Queen Maxima does not "have to work". In fact, most people here in The Netherlands are not even fully aware of her activities as a UN volunteer in this regard. This is volunteer work that she freely choses to do in her spare time. In my own (paid) work experience in other countries with major charitable organisations, I often saw this paradox: that extremely hard working & busy people are yet often those who still find time to do volunteer or charitable work. They are usually, like our Queen, driven by personal commitment and strong sense of social purpose. As well, volunteer community work is highly valued and developed in The Netherlands, and strongly encouraged and supported by our Government. She's being Dutch. Queen Maxima, if anything, is simply "using" her status as Dutch Queen to help open doors and encouraging leaders in developing countries to see the value of micro-financing, especially of women, in making changes in impoverished communities. She does the same in The Philippines where I have lived - many Filipinos are not even aware of her full-time job as Queen Consort here.

@@theon9575 what common people goign to get from her visit... nothing ..very useless...unless and until those countries political system became efficient only this thing going to change...otherwise its just photo ops...better she denounce her royal titles and pay tax as others(Dutch) people do...then we can see her "involuntary" kindness

These people can do these volunteer jobs in their sparetime, because they have staff who does the work we commoners have to do ourselves in addition to our breadwinning job. They don't have to commute to their workingplace in overcrowded trains year in, year out, or queue in the supermarket, or worry if they can afford their children's education.

Not for Maxima!!

LOL

The thing about common infrastructure is that, once you've built it up, it reduces the need for labor.

Yes, she did and does. Have you done anything to change the world around you?

Yeah, Africans work so hard. That's why it's heaven on earth there.😂

And they do it so efficiënt to

@@oranjeboven6363 what you seeing Africa and in south Asia is colonial repercussions.

Only because the people make them relevant. During the American revolution we had many people still supporting the King. Afterwards, people begged George Washington to become, basically, a King. Fascists rose in the US along with the Nazis in Germany, and we see certain similar trends now. Certain types of people desire those figureheads and/or overlords.

@@kylesmith8128 Overlord? And that is why they refer to Willem of Orange as the Father of the Father Land? Do you know anything about Dutch history, the Spanish Inquisition, the 80-year war, or how the Netherlands became their own country?

@@kylesmith8128 How are you gonna compare The Netherlands, their kingdom, and bloodline which date back to the 8th century to Amerika? How do you compare the Netherlands, a country that fought to be free of colonialism and opression, to America, which seized territory and whiped out indigenous peoples?

@@oranjeboven6363 Pretty sure Joe Xavier was generally opining about the fact that Kings and Queens are still talked about at all...I don't think we were referring to the tiny nation of the Netherlands at that point. (you may note that I did not mention it at all in my post about overlords....)

@@oranjeboven6363 You know the Dutch killed entire islands full of people just to control the supply of Nutmeg, right? You are hilarious. HAHA. Just to be clear, it was actual genocide, where you left no living members of entire genetically distinct communities. Mentioning the past, blaming other nations.....it's really dumb. All nations have stupid things in their past. The Dutch are simply completely ignorant of theirs, it seems. There are many more examples like this, of murder for the sake of commerce.

Yeah, because Indonesian kingdoms never colonized, only the Dutch.😂

That is a ridiculous comparison, those were very different times.

​@@oranjeboven6363 yess true indonesia never been colonized by the dutch cause the dutch is loosing 😂

@@birdyascion6505 Whether they win or lose, the Dutch, unlike the Indonesians, will always look after their people. We will never allow our people to live in such poor conditions as people in Indonesia do.

@@oranjeboven6363 don't think Dutch have only one colony in entire world

Wait a little longer!

and she never worked hard her whole life

You can be a Republican but this is ordinary fake news.

How do you know she uses the government plane to go shopping? Afaik she has never done that. And what have you done lately to empower the poor and help them support themselves financially?

She fly's commercial.

@@pieterpietersen3517 Sometimes yes. Other times no.

Which she, the crown princess, rejected as she didnt feel entitled to it as long she's still studying and not performing any official tasks in her function.

It seems your research laks big time, while she, princess Amalia, declined this during her college time, because she feels she doesn't do compensation in the form of work. Also, she has worked in a beach club as a waitress during part of her high school years (from 16, because before that time they are not aloud to work in environment where alcohol is served).

Yeah, Faisal, as if the king of Morocco, Saudi Arabia, etc. doesn't even make more

She decided to not receive that money. The budget is to have her own staff, etc to be able to fulfill her role as crown princess. Its is not to have fun wiyh it. You should do a better job when Googling before making stupid comments like this

one thing, as an citizen of the Netherlands, their income is very, very high , and the Oranjes belongs to the wealthy familys in the world

"colonialist" Dude, she's from Argentina. She has no background in colonialism whatsoever.

Colonialists? Yeah the Moors who invaded Europe licked the boots of Saint willem of Orange 😁

@@electron5271 - HER nation (Spanish) occupied that space and wiped out the natives. THINK !!!

Do you know how many of our money she brings to those corrupt shitholes? Keep licking.

Uneducated fool

not at all , A I by children, positive?

Please stick to your daily job, whatever you do for work. Comedy sir is not in your future!!!🙄😏

It's ridiculous to comment on a headline without hearing the whole interview, because in a half an hour see explains all and you hear what she exactly does. And about 'working hard'. Working hard can be in other ways than literally making roads, houses etc. I work in (!, I'm officially employee) my family's company and though it's mostly working on computers, I also have to help clients carrying boxes (some 15 kg), work about 50 to 60 hours s week, get paid for 32 and my hourly earning less than my colleagues based on the 32 hours (and not including overtime). You judge on what you hear and with f.e. Queen Maxima, the photo ops you see, the clothes she is wearing. You don't know what she does behind the screen and how hard it can be, mentally or physically. Don't judge a book by its covers.

Have you actually looked up all the work she has done for so many years?

@@madamnicknack Nope. Watched the whole thing. She’s only helped herself in the guise of helping others.

@@randyxl2119 So one hand washes the other. Got it.

Perhaps educate yourself a bit more before you say things like this 🤷

We don't trust your corrupt governement but still we send you millions of our money.

@3:43 She said she worked with the gate foundation,and now i don't trust them anymore either

Yeah, me neither and let’s be honest royalty is all about tradition, fairytale and privileges. They don’t need to sell us how “hard they work” while wearing expensive clothes and ancient jewellery.

@ Queen Máxima often wears h&m clothes.

Dont you think you are being a little irrational?
