These scenes from the Videoland hit series Máxima are absolutely not correct

What a delight on Videoland: the series Máxima about their first meeting. I am melting away. I think the actors are wonderfully cast, it is fantastically filmed, it feels like I am really allowed to watch the love story of our king and queen. I mean: the first episode. An Argentine young woman goes to a chic party and is introduced to a crown prince through a friend. And then there is that click. That flirt. Every girl secretly dreams of that, right?

Máxima breaks all Videoland records. Anyway: not everything is entirely based on truth. And it can't be any other way. Her childhood is mostly accurate. Their meeting and their first romantic phase in New York as well. The tension surrounding her father's history, well, we all still know that. But what is – probably – completely inaccurate? Those are the scenes where you only see Máxima and Willem-Alexander talking at home. Behind closed doors. That's clever guessing by the directors. Do they really argue with each other? Does she really want to leave him after the rumors about contact with his ex Emily Bremers?

The directors (the Hague's Joosje Duk directs the series together with Saskia Diesing and Iván López Núñez) and the series makers have tried to stay as close to the truth as possible, Joosje says. ‘But everything that has happened behind closed doors must be pieced together based on research and sources like a puzzle.’ You can never be completely sure of that. And for a series, you also want to embellish it a bit and exaggerate. That makes it so juicy to watch, right? So we understand it and we don't watch it any less for it. And the nice thing is: the six-part series is definitely getting a second season. Plenty to tell about our handsome and most charming queen.
