No she definitely did not!!!!! Princesses were working in charities long before Diana came on the scene. Queen Mary made this comment one "We ( as in the royal 'we') are never tired and we love hospitals" Princess Anne became president of 'Save the Children' in 1970 and made trips to Africa from the early 70's and yet I've never seen the press write that Diana followed in Anne's footsteps. It seems that any princess doing charity work is following Diana, totally untrue. Diana merely followed the example of the princesses before her, she just got more publicity for it!
Getting back to Maxima, she's fine the way she is. She connects with people, she's intelligent and she has a sense of history for the role she's in.
