Fresh posters for the upcoming royal drama depicting the life of Queen Maxima of the Netherlands have been unveiled.

Dutch streamer Videoland has provided royal fans with a glimpse into the highly-anticipated series - Máxima Zorreguieta: Motherland - by Mill Street Films.

Released on 20 April, the six-part show will dramatise the Dutch Queen's upbringing in Argentina and how a chance meeting with the then Prince Willem-Alexander, 56, changed the course of her life forever.

The new press shots depict Delfina Chaves as Maxima, looking regal in a red dress. The actress is tipped for superstardom, just like Meg Bellamy - who played Kate Middleton in the final season of the Netflix series The Crown.

Meanwhile, Martijn Lakemeier - who plays the monarch in his younger years looks dapper in a black suit.

Maxima's father, Juan Antonio Zorreguieta Bonorino, played by Daniel Freire, is depicted alongside his wife, Cesina Stefanini Borella.

The series will delve into Juan's relationship with his daughter and his controversial political background.  

Juan had served as the Minister of Agriculture under the regime of General Jorge Rafael Videla, commander in chief of the army and a member of the right-wing junta that ran Argentina.

Elsewhere on the poster, Maxima's mother, Cesina Stefanini Borella, played by Maria Pame, looked stylish in a chic ensemble.

Willem-Alexander's parents, Beatrix of the Netherlands, played by Elsie de Brauw, and Prince Claus, played by Sebastian Koch, also feature in the new shots.

Both donning traditional attire, the royal couple gazes towards the camera in a formal shot.

It comes after the sizzling trailer for a series all about Queen Maxima of the Netherlands' life was released.

Scenes recreating her first meeting with King Willem-Alexander during a fair in Seville in 1999 are interlaced with the couple's highs and lows, including meeting her future in-laws, Beatrix of the Netherlands and Claus von Amsberg, and getting engaged.

The two-minute clip started with a narration from Delfina Chaves - who plays the titular role - over footage of a man and his daughter spending time together in a field in Argentina, where Maxima grew up.

'My father always told me I had to reach for the highest, to work hard. He taught me everything,' the voiceover said. 'I am who I am because of him.'

Later, Maxima can be seen taking photos at a party during the annual Seville Spring Fair 25 years ago, sporting a chic scarlet off-the shoulder dress.

'Maxima, here is Wilhelm-Alexander, prince of the Netherlands,' a friend said in introduction. 

Martijn Lakemeier - who plays the monarch - then asked Maxima 'how an Argentinian lady ended up on Wall Street', in reference to her time as vice president of the emerging markets division of Dresdner Kleinwort Benson in New York.

'That's a long story,' she replied. 'Well I have time,' Wilhelm-Alexander quipped back flirtatiously.

Another clip then showed the couple enjoying some drinks together, when Maxima remarked that 'it must be hard being a Crown Prince'.

'It's not the most common question I get on a first date,' he said, flustered, before realising his slip-up and correcting: 'Day, first day.' 

A montage of the royals' romantic antics then portray Wilhelm-Alexander showing up with a bouquet of roses, the couple sharing a passionate kiss, and walking up to meet Beatrix of the Netherlands and Claus von Amsberg.

Beatrix - then Queen of the Netherlands - can be seen telling Maxima: 'I can see why he likes you.' 

Elsewhere, Claus von Amsberg - played by Sebastian Koch - offered his sage wisdom to a fellow non-royal marrying into the family: 'You want some advice from an old veteran? Stay where you are.'

The last scene, set to dramatic music, show Maxima and Wilhelm-Alexander as he can be heard saying: 'Screw everyone - all I care about is you and what makes you happy.'

The drama will cover Queen Maxima's upbringing in Argentina and how a chance meeting with King Willem-Alexander changed the course of her life forever. 

In November, photographs of the series surfaced on X, formerly known as Twitter - just a few months after filming began in New York. They show Maxima, played by Delfina, chatting to the then Prince Willem-Alexander.

Another captured the future Queen as she prepared to announce her engagement to the world in 2001, while a trailer showed the royal couple eagerly dancing with each other upon first meeting in April 1999.

The then Prince Willem-Alexander initially hid his royal status from his future wife. When he finally admitted the truth, she thought it was a joke.

Delfina, 27, is taking on the role of the Dutch Queen. She is already a mega star in Maxima's home country - having appeared in hit shows such as Love After Loving, Rap Battlefield and The Secret of the Greco Family.

The glitzy adaptation, comprising three directors, Saskia Diesing, Joosje Duk, and Iván López Núñez, is based on the historical novel of the same name by Marcia Luyten.

It will follow Maxima's transition into royal life and the obstacles she had to overcome along the way, including the tragic death of a sister and Dutch public anger about her father's involvement in the military junta.

Maxima's father was an established politician, serving as the Minister of Agriculture under the regime of General Jorge Rafael Videla, commander in chief of the army and a member of the right-wing junta that ran Argentina.

His involvement in the dictatorship would later become an issue for Maxima to confront. It is remembered as the period of the 'dirty war' against political opponents in Argentina. Up to 30,000 people died.

Maxima spent her childhood in Buenos Aires with two brothers, one sister and three half-sisters.

The future Queen was educated at the English-style Northlands school in the city, where she received a bilingual baccalaureate in 1988, speaking fluently in her native Spanish and English. She later learned to speak Dutch as well as conversational French.

She went on to study at the Universidad Católica Argentina, where she graduated with a degree in economics in 1995.

While at university, Maxima revealed her strong-willed nature by confronting a priest in a theology class who said 'women should serve men' to which she retorted 'why am I actually studying then?' leading her to be removed from the class.

After graduating, she had a brief stint working in Buenos Aires before relocating to the United States where she took on a series of high-flying roles.

These included being vice president of Latin American Institutional Sales for the finance house HSBC James Capel Inc. in New York before moving to Deutsche Bank, where she became vice president of Institutional Sales.

Little did she know that in April 1999, while on holiday in Seville, she would meet the love of her life.

The pair had both been attending a party at the annual Seville Spring Fair where she bumped into her future husband Prince Willem-Alexander.

Although they were in a serious relationship, Maxima did her best to keep the prince's identity secret.

She said: 'I would tell them something different (about Willem) every time, but at some point, there was nothing for it other than to say: 'He's the Prince of the Netherlands.''

The next year, in May 2000, Maxima relocated to work at the European Union Representative Office of Deutsche Bank in Brussels, Belgium.

Soon after the move, in 2001, Willem proposed to Maxima while ice-skating on a pond near Huis ten Bosch Palace.

The couple were married on 1 February 2002 at Amsterdam's Nieuwe Kerk, however, it was not straightforward leading up to the wedding and her father's past threatened their marriage.

It became a point of national debate in the Netherlands whether Maxima could become part of the royal family because of her father's ties with the right-wing junta that ran Argentina.

Despite ongoing controversies, Willem-Alexander's mother, Queen Beatrix at the time, set to be played by Elsie de Brauw, continued to welcome Maxima into their home.  

Maxima and Willem were only allowed to marry after the Dutch parliament investigating her father's past concluded that the future Queen had known nothing of the war atrocities. She had been in primary school during the junta years.

Maxima managed to overcome the controversy surrounding their marriage amazingly, winning over the Dutch people with her smile, charisma and intelligence. 

The couple have three children together, Princess Amelia, 19, Princess Alexia, 17 and Princess Ariane, 15. 

Told from Maxima's perspective, the series sets out to explain the controversy surrounding her father's political career while she simultaneously navigated her relationship with the crown prince.
