Queen Maxima of The Netherlands has apparently decided to become a truck driver. She wants to join Cornelissen logistics on the supermarket runs, doing a four on four off shift.
Jump to 3:00 in the video to see her meeting her new colleagues, or 5:00 to see her doing the assessment drive. Or watch the whole video to practise your Dutch.
Nice try
from the video you linked to -
Queen Máxima is shining a light to transport and logistics by conducting a working visit in Nieuwegein. There is a great need of truck drivers: partly because of prejudice about the profession. Specific attention during this visit is to the shortage of women in this sector. During various conversations, women in different phases of their career as truck drivers were interviewed: students, lateral entrants and professionals tell Máxima more.
Finally, Máxima herself took a seat behind the wheel.
Highlighting a shortage of women in the industry
Note she’s not asking for rules to be relaxed or imigrants to be let in to drive trucks .

And a very dodgy bloodline too. Very dark dynasty.

I could nominate a few British “royals” who would be more useful driving a truck (even badly) than carrying on with their day jobs.
Princess Anne reputedly has a HGV entitlement for the horsey boxes. Dunno what class it is though.

Anybody know what’s with the 3rd .wing.mirror on each side. What’s that all about?
King Willem used to (may still do) fly 737s on scheduled flights for KLM. Only for fun rather than full time.
If the queen wants to drive trucks then she should go get a drama degree first so she can fit right in with the rest of the queens on here!
Not the first time theres been a queen in a truck
