While Netflix’s multiple-Emmy-winning series “The Crown” benefited from a somewhat global knowledge of the British royal family’s affairs, “Máxima” gets to introduce international audiences to not only the details of the early stages of Máxima and Willem-Alexander’s romance but much of the turmoil that followed. There was some creative freedom to fill in these gaps and think about what they must have gone through, and that’s where we’re touching a universal side of the story, something that makes them human.” When asked about the responsibility of playing real-life royals, much like with Netflix’s hit show “The Crown,” Lakemeier added: “I wanted to stay as true as possible to what they were going through and feeling at the time, and those are personal, behind-closed-door things. The Argentinian side of her is still there and it’s so beautiful to watch.” It’s a lot about how Maxima stayed human, true and transparent. “We are telling the story about this famous family, but I am also telling the story of someone from Argentina who met someone and had to sacrifice so much, move to another country for love and become a Queen. Speaking to Variety ahead of the “Máxima” premiere at Cannes, Chaves says she feels “extremely lucky” for the opportunity to play the titular Queen onscreen, not only because of the role itself but also because of the scale of the production, which saw the cast travel across the world - from Spain to New York to the Netherlands - to tell the lesser-known love story between Máxima and Willem-Alexander.
