This is not what I want either,

-I was furious. -Bravo.

-Bravo, Alex. -Max, wait. Please.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Because I wanted to wait for the right time,

I didn't want to turn it into a big thing.

So my father cannot be at our wedding

-and you call this not a big thing? -That's not what I'm saying.

Max, I didn't want you to worry unnecessarily.

No Alex, you are so arrogant,

that you think that you can bend things to your will.

Max, please.

Go to hell.

Leave me alone.

It's all just politics.

To hell with politics.

You kept me in the dark on this.

Please, Max.

Max, please, come on.

Is this your first time at the Seville Fair?

Yes.

I came to visit some friends.

Then you've arrived at the right moment.

The Seville Fair is the mother of all parties

and can lighten even the saddest heart.

Really.

Mari Carmen.

-Thank you. -How do I look?

Very pretty.

Hey! You are the prettiest!

Be careful with the glasses.

Cynthia.

Zorreguieta.

Welcome to Seville, baby.

-Am I too early? -Not at all.

You came, what a lovely surprise.

Of course.

My chance to dance flamenco with you,

I wouldn't miss that for the world.

I'm not responsible for the consequences.

Thank you for the invitation.

Welcome to our house.

Thank you so much.

If there's anything I can do to return the favor, seriously.

-Sorry. I must... -Yes, of course.

Well...

Would you take some pictures of us at the party?

Our photographer just called...

-He can't make it. -Yes.

-Sure. It will be my pleasure. -Thank you.

Attention, the Dutchman is coming.

Everything is ready?

Make way.

On it.

He's with 2 guards.

I'm going to clear the area.

They are moving.

Can I take your picture?

Excuse me, can you please stop that?

-Thank you. -Sorry, I was just...

I mean, people come here in private, okay?

Thank you.

Sorry about that.

Such a grouch!

They've got 2 branches, but I recommend Jose Ignacio.

La Manza is often crowded and you can't get a table.

-Right. -But you should go.

Go and try the fried squid.

It's so tasty.

-Try and get a table. -Come with me.

Wait a second.

-Excuse me. One second. -If you call early...

Excuse me.

Say Maxima sent you and you'll get a table.

...from city to city takes a whole day,

but it only happens when it's taking off to...

Sorry. Willem,

she's my friend I was talking about,

Maxima Zorreguieta.

Maxima, this is Willem-Alexander,

Prince of the Netherlands.

Miss paparazzi.

Mister grouch.

Dutch, yes.

So Maxima is my close friend from Argentina,

we went to the same school

and now we both live in New York.

Maxima works for the Deutsche Bank.

Right, Wall Street Banker.

Vice President of Institutional Sales.

Oh, wow.

She's an absolute genius when it comes to numbers.

So if you will excuse me, I have to go.

Look at the dance floor.

Someone should get the party started.

-I'm sorry for earlier. -No.

I should apologize. I didn't know,

-I wasn't briefed. -Do I look like paparazzi?

Anything but.

Excuse me?

I was saying you look too smart to work for the press.

That's not what you just said.

Well, see, you're too smart.

So how did an Argentinian lady end up on Wall Street?

That's a long story.

Yeah?

Well, I have time.

Well, before I moved to New York, I used to work at Boston Securities

in Buenos Aires.

Yes.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Anyway, after Boston, I moved to New York to work for HSBC.

-And now I'm... -You're here.

I am.

Do you miss it?

Argentina?

Well, you get used to it.

And I still see my family during the holidays.

We have these big family barbecues.

-We go skiing. -Wow, oh you ski?

Well, you're talking to the best skier of Northlands, 1987.

Really? That's funny, you're talking to the Black Slope King.

-You didn't know? -Don't go there.

-It's fine. -You're playing with fire.

You should be careful with what you're saying.

-I should warn you... -Sorry to interrupt.

I see you 2 have met, that's great,

but the Duchess has been whining all day,

desperately asking for a word with you.

All right. Let's go.

So? When is the wedding?

Did you see him?

Did you see him dancing? He danced like this.

For real. I'm telling you.

He wasn't that bad.

I don't know, maybe he has some other talents.

He had 2 left feet.

I can't be with someone who can't dance.

Hi.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Am I too early?

No, we're almost ready.

Okay, well we're all going to the Plaza de Toros today,

it'd be nice if you could join us.

Yes, of course. We'll be there in a minute.

Si. Yes.

Bye, yeah.

So...

the building dates back to 1797,

and it is one of the most important arenas in Spain

where bullfights are organized.

In 1809, the bullring suffered from a...

Hey, come back! Anna!

It's okay, Herman. She can come.

Hello.

Can I get an autograph, please?

Oh, you want an autograph? Of course.

I love the flower in your hair.

Thank you.

Do you want me to draw a flower for you?

Here you go. Look at that.

Thank you.

-Bye. -Bye!

Come with me, please.

Thank you!

It's my fan club.

A bit young.

It accommodates up to 9,000 people.

There are 12 public entrances

which lead to 3 circular galleries.

Of course, the royalty and their guests

have their own private entrance

that leads directly to this royal box.

Where, as you can see,

they can enjoy the fights with this amazing view.

Follow me, please.

Amazing view.

Are there any female toreros?

No.

No?

Why not?

Well, in general, men cope with fear better than women.

Well, not in my family.

Shall we?

Beautiful animals.

Right?

Bulls are herbivores.

They have side vision.

They see their sides.

People have front-facing eyes.

You use the muleta so the bull charges.

Charging like that.

Now from behind.

Ole!

That looks pretty, but a bull would gore you.

3, 2, 1.

He's so bad.

This is not weird, at all.

Is it like the... he's like a cat?

Oh my god, I know him...

The Godfather...

The Godfather! The Godfather.

Yes.

He has a guitar.

Okay, Dracula? No.

Is it raining? He's tall, he's singing.

He's Elvis. No, he's not Elvis.

A bull. Is it a bull?

Oh my god, I know, Prince.

Yes.

Yes. We did it. Yes.

Senorita.

I think your coffee is getting cold.

Okay.

5 minutes.

It must be hard being a crown prince.

Sorry, I didn't want to come off too strong.

No, it's fine,

it's not the most common question I get on a first date... day.

The first day we spend together.

Different...

is more how I'd describe it.

That's a rather politically correct way to put it.

I don't feel comfortable saying life's hard when I can have all this.

Okay, my turn.

Why did you come to Seville?

Because Cynthia invited me.

Because of Cynthia.

And to enjoy myself.

And, are you?

Enjoying yourself?

Yes.

Well, come on, then.

Show me what you're made of.

He's funny.

-He's tall, too. -Wow.

That's a big plus.

So? What's the matter?

I've just settled down and I've got other things in my mind.

Bullshit.

Bullshit. You are all alone. There you can be a Wall Street girl.

That's not true.

Sure, but what do you have to lose?

You were the only one who told me to go to Aspen when I had my doubts.

And I am thankful, because I did.

So go for it.

You can do it, girl.

Do you know what is a big minus?

Tell me.

His hairstyle reminds me of CalculIn.

A bad hairstyle has an easy fix.

There are some more important things.

Like if he's a good kisser.

-Is he? -Shit, it's him.

Sure, I'll hang up, but we need to catch up tomorrow, okay?

-I'll call you later. -Bye.

Hey.

Hey.

How are you?

I'm fine. I'm fine,

-and you? -Yes, good.

It's raining, here in the Netherlands.

And over there?

It's raining here. The same.

Okay.

So what are you doing at the moment?

I am...

I am working.

At the office?

At home.

Okay. Well...

You have to eat, right? So...

I could come over and we could have dinner

at that restaurant you told me about?

I think I'd starve before you get here.

Well, I have my supersonic Concorde, it is really fast.

How fast?

Let's say I could be there in... a second?

Aren't you gonna get that?

Hi.

Hi.

You're a liar.

What, me? Says who?

They're not Dutch tulips,

-but... -They're beautiful.

I booked a table at 7:00.

It's the sound it makes when you hit cruising altitude,

-it's amazing. -Sorry,

can I hear it one more time?

But it's the feeling of being

in full control.

Freedom.

Nothing beats it.

Is it tough?

Knowing your destiny?

When I was younger, I used to pray every night

before I went to bed, wishing that when I woke up,

my brother Friso would be the oldest.

But I think it's best my prayers were never heard,

because my little brother would be a terrible king.

But you grow into it.

You get used to it.

In a way, it's nice to know what lies ahead of you.

And I can also see now the privileges that it gives me.

I get to meet interesting people.

Travel the world.

I can fly to the most beautiful woman on the planet.

What about you?

You seem to be living quite the dream here, in New York.

I am.

Yes?

I love my job, I love my friends, I love the parties,

it's...

All my life, I have worked so hard to get here.

And now I thought I would feel different.

More fulfilled.

My father, he always taught me I had to reach for the highest...

but lately, I'm not sure what that is.

Depends on who's asking the question,

you or your father.

For me, it's really important that...

because my life is determined by others,

for a big part,

that I find something that makes me really happy.

It's the first time I kiss a man with his bodyguards watching.

I hope that wasn't the only thing you were thinking about.

I told them where they can grab the best pizza.

I'm sorry for the mess.

What mess?

Rough night?

Maxi. That lawyer who is in love with you

doesn't waste any time, huh?

We spent a weekend in Hawaii. It was amazing.

Nice. How was it?

It was for work, actually,

he is an authority on water management

so he got invited to a congress.

But he is a lawyer.

Sure, I mean, as a lawyer,

he is an authority on water management.

He is not a lawyer.

What does he do?

Does he sell hoses?

Something like that.

He is a prince.

Oh, dear...

What do you mean, a prince?

I mean what I said.

But what do you mean, a prince?

Like a real prince?

Yes.

We met at the Seville Fair.

It's held every year in Spain.

Felipe?

-Felipe? -It's not Felipe.

No, mom, it's not Felipe.

So who is he? For the love of God, tell us.

It's Willem-Alexander.

Who?

Prince Willem-Alexander.

The Netherlands.

-Oh. -The Netherlands.

Help me out a little.

Queen Beatrix. King Claus.

The House of Orange-Nassau. Mom, Amsterdam.

My God, I can't believe it.

That's fantastic, my dear. Unbelievable.

I'm sorry, Dad. I was waiting for the right time.

Of course, dear. We understand. Right, Coqui?

Are you happy?

Yes. Well, we only met a couple of months ago, but I'm happy.

-Yes. -Then it's fine.

That's what matters.

I hope he's not the oldest.

Is he the oldest?

Yes, he's the oldest.

Dear Lord, she's going to become a queen.

Well, no, Mom.

I need some fresh air.

Oh, okay.

Fresh?

Did you know the air in Holland

is 10 times cleaner than in New York?

Yes, but it rains 195 days a year.

Let's say hypothetically,

that this gets more serious.

What would our lives look like?

-Hypothetically? -Hypothetically. Yes, of course.

How would you like it to be?

Well...

I am terrible at cutting ribbons,

I'll need to keep working.

-Check. -And my family,

they mean everything to me so I will need to see them

-whenever I can. -Got it, done.

Anything else on your list, madame?

Alex, I'm serious.

Well, me too.

You know, my dad was working as a diplomat in Africa

when he met my mother.

When they got married,

he decided to dedicate his life to serving her and the family.

Around the time I was 15

he got really depressed,

and...

everybody knew about it, but nobody talked about it.

We just felt that he was really lonely,

and he had left something of himself behind along the way.

I would...

never want anything like that to happen to you.

-Hypothetically. -Hypothetically, of course.

Don't you dare.

-It's my mom. -Timing.

You know,

she's starting to ask questions about my trips to New York.

I'm going to have to give her something.

Mom.

Yes, no, in New York.

Well, I met someone.

Her name is Maxima.

Maxima, yes, she's Argentinian.

No, she lives and works here.

Well, yes, I'm with her now.

Mom, I'll tell you more when I'm back, okay?

Yes, okay, bye.

Now she knows.

Yes.

Just enough to hold her off.

How does it work now?

Do I have to do a test?

To see if I'm fit for the job?

Yes, yeah.

Actually, it's really important that I do some testing myself, as well.

Just a small investigation.

-Oh, really? -Yes,

to check for some suspicious spots.

-I have nothing to hide, though. -Really?

I swear.

I just need to check.

I swear...

(Say no more)

(You haven't been mine for months)

-What is this? -It's where your integration starts.

Andre Hazes.

(I know you look down on me now)

(I hope I'll see you again)

God, make him stop.

(when things get better)

(But then I won't notice you And I'll tell you)

-(it's better to leave. You said) -Wow.

(you would be faithful, but I never believed you)

Wow.

Good afternoon, Your Majesty,

Queen of Netherlands.

Of the Netherlands.

The Netherlands?

'The', but 'Majesty' will do.

And do I bow,

or just do like a little nod?

Just be your irresistible self

and everything will be just fine, okay?

Come.

She looks so normal.

Believe me, she's not.

What if she saw us?

Then she sees exactly what she needs to see.

Ready?

Mm-hmm.

Mom.

-Alex. -Hi.

Hey, you said 3 o'clock.

Yeah, there was little traffic. This is...

No, not now. Sorry, I'll be back in a minute.

I'm sorry.

No. It's fine, no problem.

Hey. Hey, friends. Hello. Hi, little beggar.

Hey, hello, drooly.

I hope you're not talking about me.

Of course, I am. Hi, Dad.

Hi, Son.

Dad, this is Maxima.

It's truly an honor.

You look like you could use a drink, my dear.

It was at one of those inevitable photo calls.

We were on holiday,

standing there, the whole family,

in front of the house.

Well, not this house,

it was...

In Ireland.

-Ireland, the summer house. -Ireland.

Of course, Ireland.

Anyway, Alex was around 9, 10.

Not a hair on his chin yet, that's for sure.

The press was gathered over there,

and we were all smiling...

and then he started yelling at them.

Out of the blue,

'All Nederlandse pers, opgerot.'

All the Dutch press, fuck off.

Oh, yeah.

Well, if I have to be honest, it doesn't surprise me,

because I've learned from experience that

Alex's relationship with the press is rather...

impetuous.

Impetuous?

Spot on.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Well, is it already 5 o'clock?

Somewhere in the world, it is.

Mom, this is Maxima.

Majesteit, it's so nice to finally meet you.

Sorry to run out on you like that,

I didn't want to spoil your beautiful outfit.

That's very kind of you, but these are just some old rags,

I wouldn't have minded.

I wouldn't say so.

Let's sit down, it's not a state banquet.

Thank you, dear.

So Alex told us you've studied economics?

There we go.

I'm just asking.

How so?

Well, I was still very young when the inflation hit Argentina,

so I felt the need to understand

the vagaries of the economic world to...

Well, I don't know, to...

To get a grip.

To get a grip, yes,

thank you.

Because in my job I see how investing in growth companies in the strategic

and enterprise segment can be a tremendous help

for emerging economies

I'm sorry,

-I'm rambling on and on. -No, not at all.

No, don't worry.

Besides, I know her inside out,

so it's rather refreshing listening to you.

Mom, I think Max would love to have one.

Oh, do you?

Well, I'm...

Would you like to join me?

-Yes. Of course. Yes. -Come.

I have 4 sisters and 2 brothers.

I'm also very close to my mother.

She's very warm.

She was also very strict with us when we were young.

And my father, he's more easygoing.

He taught me to work hard

and never believe that women are less than men.

He's a feminist.

How does he feel about you and Alex?

Well, he really wants me to be happy, so...

Let's find some shade, shall we? It's getting bloody hot here.

Those dogs.

They've got a mind of their own.

Did you grow up with dogs?

No...

but for a very short time, we had a canary that just wouldn't listen.

He used to poop all over the house

and my mother would get so furious,

that one day she opened the cage

and the balcony door, and off he went.

Yeah, Martin, my little brother, he cried for almost a week.

Well,

maybe the canary was better off that way.

Maybe.

I really love Alexander.

I can see why he likes you.

That's enough cross-examination for today, dear.

I wasn't, was I?

No, no.

Time for some action.

That one, and the next.

Nice.

Hey, Max?

You want some advice from an old veteran?

Learn Dutch, as quickly as possible.

And even more important,

don't lose yourself,

stay who you are.

Now, focus.

Very good.

I think you could really use some advice here,

since you play it like golf, it's not.

Oh, really?

-You have to use your hips more. -You're going to teach me now?

Just try it. Just try. We'll try together.

You can't do that.

-I didn't do anything. -He's cheating.

-I'm not. -He's cheating.

I'm going to go again.

I can't let you win in front of my father.

Okay!

Very good.

Safe travels.

-Thank you, have a... -Oh, I'm sorry.

I had a great time.

The pleasure was ours.

-Chip, that's enough. -Dad.

-Bye, Son. -Maxima.

-Thank you. -Drive safely.

Thank you for everything,

-really, it was so nice to meet you. -Always welcome, dear, always.

-Mom. -Bye, honey.

You are sunburned, you have to use sunscreen.

Yeah, okay, bye.

Bye.

I never saw him this smitten.

What? Still problems?

When will they finish the investigation?

Soon.

Her father seems to be a problem.

That went well, don't you think?

Absolutely.
