Queen Máxima arouses annoyance among royalty journalists because she got out of the plane with their hands in front of her face on arrival in South Africa. “I’ve never experienced that,” it sounds.
The already 54-year-old Queen Máxima is currently traveling through South Africa for her hobby work at the United Nations. There are no photos on which she comes from the plane, presenter Luuk Ikink notes in RTL Boulevard. “Normally we always see images or a photo that she arrives with that plane, but not today. Why is that?”
Hands by face
Jeroen Snel, the royalty expert of that program, confirms that. “She didn’t feel like it and that is remarkable, because she always wants to pose for the photographers. She arrived at 9.20 pm local time in Cape Town with a KLM flight. She came out and she really kept her hands in front of her face,” he says, portraying it.
Why? “Because she did not want to be photographed by the two Dutch photographers. That is remarkable. I have never experienced it, but it is as part of the press program:” Arrival Queen Máxima “, but she didn’t feel like it, so next time it will be deleted from the press program.”
Not good in skin
Luuk is surprised about it. “But wasn’t she comfortable in her skin that she suddenly started doing that?”
Colleague Aran Bade: “A long flight.”
Jeroen: “You wonder. It is indeed a long flight, but she had slept a lot, we know, during this flight, but nevertheless she arrived tired. That can happen.”
Beautiful start
Rick Evers, the royalty expert who has been Inside a number of times today, thinks it Mal. “Media who were accompanied by the RVD to the airport to record her arrival came home from a cold fair: Hare Majesty did not wish that pictures would be taken! Nice start …”
What did the South African press think? “They were not there, that made it very easy for the RVD.”
Without makeup
Perhaps Máxima wanted to prevent a repeat of 2022 when she was photographed while she came out of the plane without makeup:
