i must say i'm more than happy for those royals who are on the list: willem, haakon, mathilde, victoria among others really deserve the distinction.
although, after reading princess olga's post, i must say i think it's as well quite arbitrary. who chooses the people in the list? what is the criteria for that? i barely think mabel or frederik have reasons to be on the list. i personally didn't see them performing more than 2 or 3 activities last year connected with international welfare.
i also believe maxima did an amazingly ambitious and well done job last year and the years before with the microcredits, she travelled here and there during the last 3 years, as far as i recall, from south america to africa, while attending conferences as well in north america and europe. perhaps the reason for not choosing her is because they can only choose one representant per country and willem alexander was chosen. perhaps she may be in the list next year, as well as mette marit, who also worked for unaids and tavelled to a couple of places (she hasn't been in the position of unaids representative for long but she still performed duties on aids in norway and the world before her role for the UN), who may be chosen next year instead of haakon.
