Videos of Willem-Alexander and Máxima

[Somebody]

Someone on twitter just linked this lovely video (an excerpt from the documentary made for king Willem-Alexander's 40th birthday including lots of footage of their family life) to share how Willem-Alexander responded to Amalia when she complained about cold feet (after having removed her shoes). His response was considered a good example as he didn't treat her like the proverbial princess (or prince) who learn early in life that they get whatever they want whenever they want it - leading to 'prince(ss) behavior' at an early age and self-centered behavior later in life.

Quite more formal than Amalia's first day at university. Wearing a suit being formally welcomed by the university's VP compared to wearing 'normal' student clothes and allowing a few pictures to be taken before entering a rather general university building.

In this video they also mentioned that the number of students studying history in his year was about 50 students more (220 compared to 170) than in the previous year. So, I assume his choice of study had been communicated at a time when students could still apply - unlike Amalia's choice that was only made known to the public once the application procedure was over and done with - so nobody signed up for it just to be with her in her classroom.

Hard to believe that was over 20 years ago. They still look as happy and in love as ever! What a blessing!
