Queen Máxima of the Netherlands is currently training to become an army reservist. This move comes as the incoming Dutch coalition government prepares to increase the country’s military personnel from around 80,000 to 122,000.
The Queen is expected to be officially sworn in as a reservist later this month, demonstrating her support for the government’s efforts to strengthen national defense.
**Why this matters**
The expansion of the Dutch military reflects growing concerns about national and regional security. Queen Máxima’s participation highlights a symbolic commitment from the royal family to the country’s defense initiatives.
