Queen Maxima is such an intelligent highly educated polyglot with a Masters degree in economics. Many of her conferences aren't just a formality of niceties but actual lengthy functional working meetings with international leaders, the UN Secretary General, etc. trying to help women and children who live in poverty throughout the world. If she can kick off her shoes during a long meeting, why not.

She is at home and nobody from the videocall can see her feet. Can't blame her for getting rid of the shoes, in her own house.
If their had not been this promotionsl pictures, we wouldn't have known either.
