On the schoolyard of the Sint Fransschool, the queen, who is honorary chairman of the foundation, takes the time for the children. She shakes hands and gets a number of bouquets of flowers. “Wow, even more flowers,” she tells one of the children who are waiting for her at the Sint Fransschool. The queen gets to see a dance show of ten children. She watches laughing. Afterwards she still talks to the children. “Great to see. Continue like this,” she tells them.

At the next room, the queen asks what happens there. “DJs”, a boy replies. He then shows how the panel works for him. “The nice thing is that you try everything and nothing is wrong,” Máxima responds. The four girls at the DJ set also explain what they are going to do. It’s pretty exciting. When the queen is gone again, the tension can still be read from their faces. “I think it’s very special,” says Emma about the visit of her Majesty. “Because you never experience that just like that.”
