“The Netherlands’ Queen Maxima has joined her country’s army as a reservist, voicing concern about national security. Maxima, 54, ‘has chosen to register now because our safety can no longer be taken for granted,’ according to a statement released Wednesday by the Dutch royal family, ‘and she, like many others, wants to contribute to that safety.’ After training with the Royal Netherlands Army, the Argentinian-born Dutch queen will be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and ‘like other reservists, she will deploy where needed,’ the royal family’s statement said.” (02/05/26)
