I agree. I have always felt that with her background and personality, she best represents what a modern working princess should be.

Being a "princess" is a rather archaic and old-fashioned role which must be stifling--but, for me, she and Queen Rania seem to be the two who stand out as bringing their roles into the 21st century. It's not just about pretty dresses and ribbon cutting for them.

HRH will be in Cairo,Egypt this week tuesday to thursday promotong Inclusive Finance.
The Princess will speech at the American University in Cairo for students and guests and will visit farmers in the Nile delta area.
I just hope she gets to see and hear just as much as I did when I visited rural Egypt and talked with farmers there last year.But then I was with a family from Cairo,and we didn't have authorities circumnavigate around who told us what to say and do on such occasions.I Hail the visit and speech,but the rural visit will be a farce as that's just all tidied up for the occasion and the farmers are actors.Egypt is known for its Pyramids,its cuisine,and best of all:its cheating with a smile....

Maxima is a wonderful example of how a constitutional monarchy can play an important role in the sphere of economic well being of those with less money rather than more. Microfinance is a genuine route for improving the quality of life of average people because it offers a safety net and restructuring with long term economic benefits for families. This is far better area to sponsor than dabbling on the fringes in some wishy washy way with charities for fashionable causes that just hand out money.

well said rob2008 and I totally agree!!!

Great seeing Maxima do quite a bit of speeches & attend conferences around the world, she is very much into it and does it because she likes it.
Not a bad color on her IMO.
