Synopsis

The series tells the life story of the Argentinian-born Dutch Queen Máxima. When the press catches wind of her relationship with the crown prince, heated discussions erupt about her father's political career in the Videla regime. Can Máxima stay true to herself without giving up her family?

Note from the artistic direction

Rom-com meets history is a rare proposal in the world of series, and royal history, even more! So when we discovered Máxima, written by the wonderful Marnie Blok , we knew it would be a wonderful gift for our audience in Cannes!
