The original and sequel trilogies were shot with anamorphic lenses . Episodes IV , V , and VII were shot in Panavision , while Episode VI was shot in Joe Dunton Camera ( JDC ) scope . Episode I was shot with Hawk anamorphic lenses on Arriflex cameras , and Episodes II and III were shot with Sony 's CineAlta high - definition digital cameras . Music and sound effects ( edit ) Lucas hired Ben Burtt to oversee the sound effects on the original 1977 film . Burtt 's accomplishment was such that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented him with a Special Achievement Award because it had no award at the time for the work he had done . Lucasfilm developed the THX sound reproduction standard for Return of the Jedi . John Williams composed the scores for all eight films . Lucas 's design for Star Wars involved a grand musical sound , with leitmotifs for different characters and important concepts . Williams 's Star Wars title theme has become one of the most famous and well - known musical compositions in modern music history . Stunts ( edit ) Lucas hired ' the Dean of Special Effects ' John Stears , who created R2 - D2 , Luke Skywalker 's Landspeeder , the Jedi Knights ' lightsabers , and the Death Star . The technical lightsaber choreography for the original trilogy was developed by leading filmmaking sword - master Bob Anderson . Anderson trained actor Mark Hamill ( Luke Skywalker ) and performed all the sword stunts as Darth Vader during the lightsaber duels in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi , wearing Vader 's costume . Anderson 's role in the original Star Wars trilogy was highlighted in the film Reclaiming the Blade , where he shares his experiences as the fight choreographer developing the lightsaber techniques for the movies .

Notes ( edit ) ^ Jump up to : Until the deal between 21st Century Fox and The Walt Disney Company has been finalized Jump up ^ Adjusting for inflation is complicated by the fact that the first four films have had multiple releases in different years , so their earnings can not be simply adjusted by the initial year of release . Inflation adjusted figures for 2005 can be found in Block , Alex Ben ; Wilson , Lucy Autrey , eds. ( 2010 ) . George Lucas 's Blockbusting : A Decade - By - Decade Survey of Timeless Movies Including Untold Secrets of Their Financial and Cultural Success . HarperCollins . p. 519 . ISBN 978 - 0061778896 .

Puente Hills Mall - wikipedia Puente Hills Mall Jump to : navigation , search This article needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( December 2011 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Puente Hills Mall South Exterior Location Industry , California Opening date Developer The Hahn Company Owner Kam Sang Company No. of stores and services 155 No. of anchor tenants 7 Total retail floor area 1.1 million square feet No. of floors 2 ( 3 for Macy 's ) Puente Hills Mall , located in the City of Industry , California , United States , is a major regional shopping center in the San Gabriel Valley region of Los Angeles County . It is most famous for serving as the filming site for the Twin Pines / Lone Pine Mall for the 1985 movie Back to the Future starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd . Contents ( hide ) 1 History 2 Back to the Future 3 Nobel Son 4 References 5 External links History ( edit ) Puente Hills Mall was built in 1974 after the completion of the Pomona Freeway a few years earlier . It opened with four primary anchors in a cross-shaped design by The Hahn Company . One of the mall 's original tenants was the first Foot Locker store and that store still stands there today . Two anchors departed in 1996 , The Broadway ( at the time purchased by Macy 's ) and JCPenney . At the time of JCPenney 's departure , the mall had about a 50 % occupancy . The mall was extensively renovated afterwards and now features a 20 - screen AMC Theatres megaplex , and stores traditionally found in power centers such as 24 Hour Fitness and Burlington Coat Factory , in addition to the remaining two original anchors , Macy 's ( formerly Robinsons - May ) and Sears . Linens ' n Things , which had an anchor in the store , closed its Puente Hills store in 2008 as a nationwide effort to take the company 's operations online . On August 28 , 2010 , the Japanese sports entertainment chain Round1 opened Round1 Bowling & Amusement , a state - of - the - art video game arcade and bowling alley with karaoke rooms , as a new anchor to Puente Hills Mall , marking the Japanese company 's first store overseas , taking Linens ' n Things ' old anchor . It also includes popular stores such as Forever 21 , Hollister , Old Navy , Hot Topic , Zumiez , Aéropostale and G by Guess . The newest addition to the mall , Toys R Us , opened its doors in June 2011 , replacing Circuit City . However , Toys R Us is closing all locations in efforts to close the company . This Toys R Us was previously located in the Plaza at Puente Hills on Gale Avenue in Industry . Today the mall is almost fully occupied and is the regional hub of a shopping and entertainment district that includes restaurants , auto dealerships , big - box stores , and a go - kart track . The center of the mall previously featured a large cubed water fountain , then a merry - go - round attraction built in 1990 , but it was later removed by the mall 's owners , Krausz Companies , as they were losing money in its operation . An East Asian - style koi pond replaced the carousel , but was removed as of 2006 . The koi were moved to Sycamore Lake at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier . The mall underwent a full interior makeover in 2007 , shortly after the removal of the koi pond . Due to the large and influential Asian immigrant populations residing and / or operating businesses in nearby areas ( notably in Industry , Hacienda Heights , Rowland Heights , Walnut , and Diamond Bar ) , past owners of the mall redesigned some elements of Puente Hills Mall in order to conform to feng shui principles . There are also outlets of the Filipino chain restaurants Max 's of Manila , designed to attract the large Filipino - American population in the Rowland Heights , Walnut , and West Covina areas . Jolibee and Chow 's King outlets have since closed . Puente Hills Mall also caters to a large Latino population that primarily reside in the La Puente , El Monte , Hacienda Heights , Rowland Heights , and West Covina areas . Back to the Future ( edit ) Puente Hills Mall served as a filming location for the fictional Twin Pines Mall ( later Lone Pine Mall ) in the 1985 film Back to the Future . In the film , Doc Brown ( Christopher Lloyd ) uses the mall 's south parking lot ( visible in the above photograph ) to stage his time travel experiments with the DeLorean time machine . A JCPenney store and Robinson 's features prominently in the background . A Ross Dress For Less store can be seen in a strip mall across the street . The scenes were filmed in January 1985 . According to the DVD audio commentary , screenplay writer Bob Gale says that several fans gathered at the Puente Hills Mall in the early hours of October 26 , 1985 , the date given in the film as the present day , to see if anything would happen . Puente Hills Mall featured replicas of the Twin Pines Mall sign , the time machine , and Dr. E. Brown Enterprises truck in its parking lot in October 2015 . Nobel Son ( edit ) Nobel Son , a 2007 American comedy featuring Alan Rickman , Mary Steenburgen ( who was coincidentally in Back to the Future Part III ) , Bryan Greenberg and Danny DeVito was filmed at Puente Hills Mall in 2005 .

Question: what mall did they use in back to the future


The Breakfast Club - wikipedia The Breakfast Club Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the 1985 film directed by John Hughes . For other uses , see The Breakfast Club ( disambiguation ) . The Breakfast Club Theatrical release poster Directed by John Hughes Produced by Ned Tanen John Hughes Written by John Hughes Starring Emilio Estevez Paul Gleason Anthony Michael Hall Judd Nelson Molly Ringwald Ally Sheedy Music by Keith Forsey Gary Chang Cinematography Thomas Del Ruth Edited by Dede Allen Production company A&M Films Channel Productions Distributed by Universal Pictures Release date February 15 , 1985 ( 1985 - 02 - 15 ) Running time 97 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $1 million Box office $51.5 million The Breakfast Club is a 1985 American coming - of - age comedy - drama film written , produced , and directed by John Hughes , starring Emilio Estevez , Paul Gleason , Anthony Michael Hall , Judd Nelson , Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy . The storyline follows five teenagers , each members of different high school cliques , who spend a Saturday in detention together and come to realize that they are all more than their respective stereotypes , while facing a strict disciplinarian . The film premiered in Los Angeles on February 7 , 1985 . Universal Pictures released the film in cinemas in the United States on February 15 , 1985 . It received critical acclaim and earned $51.5 million on a $1 million budget . Critics consider it one of the greatest high school films of all time , as well as one of Hughes ' most memorable and recognizable works . The media referred to the film 's five main actors as members of a group called the `` Brat Pack . '' The title comes from the nickname invented by students and staff for morning detention at New Trier High School , the school attended by the son of one of John Hughes ' friends . Thus , those who were sent to detention before school starting time were designated members of `` The Breakfast Club . '' In 2016 , the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant . '' The film was digitally remastered and was re-screened throughout 430 theaters in celebration of its 30th anniversary in 2015 .

While not complete strangers , each of them comes from a different clique , and they seem to have nothing in common : the beautiful and pampered Claire Standish , the state champion wrestler Andrew Clark , the geekish intellect Brian Johnson , the introverted outcast Allison Reynolds , and the rebellious delinquent John Bender . They gather in the high school library , where assistant principal Richard Vernon instructs them not to speak , move from their seats , or sleep until they are released at 3 : 00 p.m. He assigns them a thousand - word essay , in which each must describe `` who you think you are . '' He then leaves , returning only occasionally to check on them . John , who has a particularly antagonistic relationship with Vernon , ignores the rules and frequently riles up the other students , teasing Brian and Andrew and harassing Claire . Allison is initially quiet , except for an occasional random outburst . Over the course of the day , Vernon gives John several weekends ' worth of additional detention and even locks him in a storage closet , but he escapes and returns to the library . The students pass the hours by talking , arguing , and , at one point , smoking marijuana that John retrieves from his locker . Gradually , they open up to each other and reveal their deepest personal secrets : Allison is a compulsive liar ; Andrew can not easily think for himself ; John comes from an abusive household ; Brian was planning suicide with a flare gun due to the inability to cope with a bad grade ; and Claire is a virgin who feels constant pressure from her friends to be a certain way . They also discover that they all have strained relationships with their parents , which are a key cause for their personal issues as well : Allison 's parents ignore her due to their own problems ; Andrew 's father constantly criticizes his efforts at wrestling and pushes him as hard as possible ; John 's father verbally and physically abuses him ; Brian 's overbearing parents put immense pressure on him to earn high grades ; and Claire 's parents use her to get back at each other during frequent arguments . The students realize that , even with their differences , they face similar pressures and complications in their lives . Despite their differences in social status , the group begins to form friendships as the day progresses . Claire gives Allison a makeover , to reveal just how pretty she really is , which sparks romantic interest in Andrew . Claire decides to break her `` pristine '' virgin appearance by kissing John in the closet and giving him a hickey . Although they suspect that the relationships will end with the end of their detention , their mutual experiences will change the way they look at their peers afterwards . As the detention nears its end , the group requests that Brian complete the essay for everyone and John returns to the storage closet to fool Vernon into thinking he has not left . Brian writes the essay and leaves it in the library for Vernon to read after they leave . As the students part ways outside the school , Allison and Andrew kiss , as do Claire and John . Allison rips Andrew 's state champion patch from his letterman jacket to keep , and Claire gives John one of her diamond earrings , which he attaches to his earlobe . Vernon reads the essay , in which Brian states that Vernon has already judged who they are , using simple definitions and stereotypes . One by one , the five students ' voices add , `` But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain , and an athlete , and a basket case , a princess , and a criminal . '' Brian signs the letter as `` The Breakfast Club . '' John raises his fist in triumph as he walks across the school football field toward home . Cast ( edit ) Judd Nelson as John Bender Molly Ringwald as Claire Standish Emilio Estevez as Andy Clark Anthony Michael Hall as Brian Johnson Ally Sheedy as Allison Reynolds Paul Gleason as Assistant Principal Vernon John Kapelos as Carl Reed Ron Dean as Mr. Clark Production ( edit ) Casting ( edit ) Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall both starred in Hughes ' 1984 film Sixteen Candles . Towards the end of filming , Hughes asked them both to be in The Breakfast Club . Hall became the first to be cast , agreeing to the role of Brian Johnson . Ringwald was originally approached to play the character of Allison Reynolds , but she was `` really upset '' because she wanted to play Claire Standish . She eventually convinced the director and the studio to give her the part . The role of Allison ultimately went to Ally Sheedy . Emilio Estevez originally auditioned for the role of John Bender . However , when Hughes was unable to find someone to play Andrew Clarke , Estevez was recast . Nicolas Cage was considered for the role of John Bender , which was the last role to be cast , though the role was narrowed down to John Cusack and Judd Nelson . Hughes eventually cast Cusack , but decided to replace him with Nelson before shooting began , because Cusack did not look threatening enough for the role . At one point , Hughes was disappointed at Nelson because he stayed in character by harassing Ringwald off - camera , and the other actors had to convince Hughes not to fire him . Rick Moranis was originally cast as the janitor but left due to creative differences and was replaced by John Kapelos . Filming ( edit ) In 1999 , Hughes said that his request to direct the film met with resistance and skepticism because he lacked filmmaking experience . Hughes ultimately convinced the film 's investors that due to the modest $1 million budget and its single location shoot , he could greatly minimize their risk . Hughes originally thought that The Breakfast Club would be his directorial debut . Hughes opted for an insular , largely one room set and wrote it about high school students , who would be played by younger actors . Principal photography began on March 28 , 1984 , and ended in May . Filming took place at Maine North High School in Des Plaines , Illinois , shuttered in 1981 . The same setting was used for interior scenes of Hughes ' 1986 film Ferris Bueller 's Day Off , which featured exterior shots from nearby Glenbrook North High School . The library at Maine North High School , considered too small for the film , prompted the crew to build the set in the school 's gymnasium . The actors rehearsed with each other for three weeks and then shot the film in sequence . On the Ferris Bueller 's Day Off DVD commentary ( featured on the 2004 DVD version ) , Hughes revealed that he shot the two films concurrently to save time and money , and some outtakes of both films feature elements of the film crews working on the other film . The first print was 150 minutes in length . During a cast reunion in honor of the film 's 25th anniversary , Ally Sheedy revealed that a Director 's Cut existed but Hughes ' widow did not disclose any details concerning its whereabouts . In 2015 the first draft of the film 's script was discovered in a Maine South High School cabinet as district employees were moving offices to a new building . Poster ( edit ) The film 's poster , featuring the five characters huddled together , was photographed by Annie Leibovitz toward the end of shooting . The shot of five actors gazing at the camera influenced the way teen films were marketed from that point on . The poster refers to the five `` types '' of the story using slightly different terms than those used in the film , and in a different sequence , stating `` They were five total strangers with nothing in common , meeting for the first time . A brain , a beauty , a jock , a rebel and a recluse . '' Themes ( edit ) The main theme of the film is the constant struggle of the American teenager to be understood , by adults and by themselves . It explores the pressure put on teenagers to fit into their own realms of high school social constructs , as well as the lofty expectations of their parents , teachers , and other authority figures . On the surface , the students have little in common with each other . However , as the day rolls on , they eventually bond over a common disdain for the aforementioned issues of peer pressure and parental expectations . Stereotyping is another theme . Once the obvious stereotypes are broken down , the characters `` empathize with each other 's struggles , dismiss some of the inaccuracies of their first impressions , and discover that they are more similar than different . '' The main adult character , Mr. Vernon , is not portrayed in a positive light . He consistently talks down to the students and flaunts his authority throughout the film . Bender is the only one who stands up to Vernon . Release ( edit ) The film premiered in Los Angeles on February 7 , 1985 . Universal Pictures released the film in cinemas on February 15 , 1985 in the United States . Home Media ( edit ) In 2003 , the film was released on DVD as part of the `` High School Reunion Collection . '' In 2008 , a `` Flashback Edition '' DVD was released with several special features , including an audio commentary with Anthony Michael Hall and Judd Nelson . A 25th Anniversary Edition Blu - ray was released in 2010 , and the same disc was re-released with a DVD and digital copy in 2012 as part of Universal 's 100th Anniversary series . On March 10 , 2015 , the 30th Anniversary Edition was released . This release was digitally remastered and restored from the original 35mm film negatives for better picture quality on DVD , Digital HD and Blu - ray . On October 16 , 2017 , The Criterion Collection announced that the film will be released in a special edition in January 2018 . Reception ( edit ) Critical response ( edit ) The film received high critical acclaim . The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an 88 % approval rating based on 60 reviews , with an approval rating of 7.7 / 10 . The website 's critical consensus states , `` The Breakfast Club is a warm , insightful , and very funny look into the inner lives of teenagers . '' Review aggregator Metacritic assigned the film a weighted average score of 62 % based on 11 reviews from mainstream critics , considered to be `` generally favorable reviews . '' Kathleen Carroll from the New York Daily News stated , `` Hughes has a wonderful knack for communicating the feelings of teenagers , as well as an obvious rapport with his exceptional cast - who deserves top grades . '' Box office ( edit ) In February 1985 , the film debuted at # 3 at the box office ( behind blockbuster film Beverly Hills Cop and Witness starring Harrison Ford ) . Grossing $45,875,171 domestically and $51,525,171 worldwide , the film is a box office success , given its alleged $1 million budget . Accolades ( edit ) Anthony Michael Hall , Judd Nelson , Molly Ringwald , Paul Gleason and Ally Sheedy won a Silver Bucket of Excellence Award at the 2005 MTV Movie Awards in 2005 . Award Nominee Result Silver Bucket of Excellence Award Anthony Michael Hall Judd Nelson Paul Gleason Molly Ringwald Ally Sheedy Won Legacy ( edit ) The Breakfast Club is known as the `` quintessential 1980s film '' and is considered as one of the best films of the decade . In 2008 , Empire magazine ranked it # 369 on their The 500 Greatest Movies of All Time list . It then rose 331 places to rank at # 38 on their 2014 list . Similarly , The New York Times placed the film on its Best 1000 Movies Ever list and Entertainment Weekly ranked the film number 1 on its list of the 50 Best High School Movies . In the 2001 parody film Not Another Teen Movie , Gleason reprised his role as Assistant Principal Vernon in a short scene that parodies The Breakfast Club . In 2005 , the film received the Silver Bucket of Excellence Award in honor of its 20th anniversary at the MTV Movie Awards . For the event , MTV attempted to reunite the original cast . Sheedy , Ringwald , and Hall appeared together on stage , with Kapelos in the audience ; Gleason gave the award to his former castmates . Estevez could not attend because of other commitments , and Nelson appeared earlier in the show but left before the on - stage reunion , prompting Hall to joke that the two were `` in Africa with Dave Chappelle . '' Yellowcard performed Simple Minds ' anthem for the film , `` Do n't You ( Forget About Me ) , '' at the awards . At the 82nd Academy Awards ( March 7 , 2010 ) , Sheedy , Hall , Ringwald , and Nelson all appeared in a tribute to John Hughes -- who had died a few months prior -- along with other actors who had worked with him , including Jon Cryer from Pretty in Pink , Matthew Broderick from Ferris Bueller 's Day Off , and Macaulay Culkin from Home Alone .

In a retrospective review for AllMusic , Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the soundtrack three out of five stars and wrote that , apart from Simple Minds ' `` undisputed masterpiece , '' the album is largely `` disposable '' and marred by `` ' 80s artifacts '' and `` forgettable instrumentals .

Queen Máxima is the daughter of Jorge Zorreguieta ( 1928 -- 2017 ) , Secretary of Agriculture under General Jorge Rafael Videla during Argentina 's last civil - military dictatorship ( 1976 -- 1983 ) , and his second wife , María del Carmen Cerruti Carricart ( born 1944 ) . She has two brothers , a sister , and three half - sisters by her father 's first wife , Marta López Gil . She is named after her paternal great - grandmother Máxima Bonorino González ( 1874 -- 1965 ) . Her father was a scion of the Zorreguieta family who had been landed gentry , professionals , regional politicians , and statesmen for generations . Her maternal great - grandfather was also from the landed gentry ; Domingo Carricart Etchart ( 1885 - 1953 ) was a landowner , politician , Director of the Banco Provincial de Buenos Aires , first mayor of González Chaves , and mayor of Tres Arroyos . She grew up in the Recoleta neighbourhood of Buenos Aires city , and studied at Northlands School , a bilingual school of the city of Olivos . She graduated with a degree in Economics from the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina ( UCA ) in 1995 . This private university is governed by a directory of local bishops , including the current Pope Francis , then Archbishop of Buenos Aires and Grand Chancellor of UCA . During her student years , Francis presided over the traditional Mass at the beginning of classes . She later completed her studies with a Master 's degree in the United States . From 1989 to 1990 , while still in college , she worked for Mercado Abierto Electrónico S.A. From 1992 to 1995 , she worked in the sales department of Boston Securities SA in Buenos Aires , where she conducted research on software for financial markets . From July 1996 to February 1998 , the current queen Máxima worked for HSBC James Capel Inc. in New York City , where she became vice president of institutional sales for Latin America . From then until July 1999 , she was vice president of the emerging markets division of Dresdner Kleinwort Benson in New York . From May 2000 to March 2001 she worked in the Deutsche Bank in Brussels . She also worked as an English language teacher to children and adults , and of mathematics for high school students and freshmen . Relationship with Willem - Alexander ( edit ) Máxima and Willem - Alexander , 2001 Máxima met Willem - Alexander in April 1999 in Seville , Spain , during the Seville Spring Fair . In an interview , they stated that he introduced himself only as `` Alexander '' , so that she did not know he was a prince . She thought he was joking when he later told her that he was not only a prince , but the Prince of Orange and heir apparent to the Dutch throne . They agreed to meet again two weeks later in New York , where Máxima was working for Dresdner Kleinwort Benson . Their relationship apparently began in New York , but she did not meet his parents , Queen Beatrix and Prince Claus , for some time . The news of the couple 's relationship and eventual marriage plans caused controversy in the Netherlands , due to the involvement of Máxima 's father Jorge Zorreguieta as a cabinet minister during the National Reorganization Process , the most recent Argentinian dictatorship . Her father 's tenure as a minister took place during the beginning stages of the Dirty War , a period of repression that saw 10,000 -- 30,000 people killed or disappeared during the seven - year military regime . At the request of the States General , Michiel Baud , a Dutch professor in Latin American studies , carried out an inquiry into the involvement of Zorreguieta in the Dirty War ( roughly , 1974 -- 83 ) . Zorreguieta claimed that , as a civilian , he was unaware of the Dirty War while he was a cabinet minister . Baud determined that Máxima 's father had not been directly involved in any of the numerous atrocities that took place during that period . However , Baud also concluded that Zorreguieta was almost certainly aware of them ; in Baud 's view , it was highly unlikely that a cabinet minister would not have known about them . Even so , his possible presence at the royal wedding was debated for several months . Marriage and family ( edit ) The royal wedding , February 2002 Willem - Alexander , Máxima and their daughters on the balcony of the Royal Palace , after the abdication of Queen Beatrix in 2013 The couple announced their engagement on 30 March 2001 ; Máxima addressed the nation in Dutch ( which at the time she only spoke to basic conversational extent ) during the live televised broadcast . Máxima was granted Dutch citizenship by Royal Decree on 17 May 2001 and now has dual citizenship : Argentine and Dutch . The engagement was formally approved by the States General later that year -- a necessary step for Willem - Alexander to remain heir to the throne . Máxima and Willem - Alexander were married on 2 February 2002 in a civil ceremony in the Beurs van Berlage , Amsterdam , which was then followed by a religious ceremony at Amsterdam 's Nieuwe Kerk ( `` New Church '' ) . She remained a Roman Catholic after her marriage . She is the first Dutch queen consort to have been born outside Europe although , through her father , she is a descendant of King Afonso III of Portugal and other noble families of the Iberian Peninsula who moved to the Argentine viceroyalty during the early nineteenth century . Máxima 's parents were not present at the wedding ; her father was told he could not attend due to his role as a cabinet minister during the National Reorganization Process , and her mother chose not to attend without her husband . The couple have three daughters : Catharina - Amalia , Princess of Orange , born 7 December 2003 at HMC Bronovo in The Hague . Princess Alexia , born 26 June 2005 at HMC Bronovo in The Hague . Princess Ariane , born 10 April 2007 at HMC Bronovo in The Hague . Máxima is also godmother of : Countess Sophie Philippa Máxima Walburga Marie of Waldburg - Zeil , born 29 June 2000 . Prince Sverre Magnus of Norway , born 3 December 2005 . Countess Leonore Marie Irene Enrica of Orange - Nassau , born 3 June 2006 . Activities ( edit ) Willem - Alexander reads , with Queen Maxima at his side , the throne speech for Budget Day to members of the Senate and House in the Knights Hall . Queen Máxima has a particular concern for the integration of immigrants into Dutch culture . She was a member of a special parliamentary commission which sought to recommend ways to increase the participation of female immigrants in the workforce . Máxima stresses the importance for immigrants of learning the Dutch language ( as she did ) in order to fully participate in Dutch society . Dutch is the Queen 's third language ; she is also fluent in Spanish ( her native language ) and English . She speaks French to a conversational level . She participates in conferences around the world representing the Netherlands . She was granted a seat in the Dutch Council of State on 20 October 2004 , the highest advisory body and court of administration . She was a member of the Committee for Ethnic Minority Women 's Participation from July 2003 until 2005 . She has a seat on the board of governors of the Chair on the Management of Diversity and Integration at the Free University of Amsterdam ; she ( along with her husband ) is a patron of the Orange Fund ( established to promote social welfare and cohesion in the Netherlands ) ; and she also chairs the Board of Trustees of the Prince Claus Chair in Development and Equity of the International Institute of Social Studies and the University of Utrecht . Máxima is one of the few members of royal families anywhere in the world to be an open supporter of gay rights , and was the first member of a royal family to attend an LGBT rights conference , having attended a conference concerned with LGBT rights on 5 March 2008 . Queen Máxima has been honorary chair of the Money Wise Platform since 2010 . In this capacity , the Queen focuses attention on the importance of financial education and managing money sensibly , especially where children and young people are concerned . The Queen acts as special advisor to the Platform and consults with interested parties on ways of increasing people 's financial awareness and resilience . Since 10 June 2015 , Queen Máxima has been the honorary chair of the Ambassadors for Music at School Platform . Queen Máxima has for some years been committed to giving as many children as possible the opportunity to create music . Controversy over statement on Dutch identity ( edit ) In 2007 Maxima inadvertently caused a wave of massive criticism when in a speech to the Scientific Council for Government Policy she said that in the seven years that she had been in the Netherlands , she had been unable to find the Dutch identity . Maxima is quoted as having said the following : `` ... but ' the ' Dutch identity ? No , I have not found it . The Netherlands is : large windows without curtains so everyone can look in ; but also adherence to privacy and coziness . The Netherlands is : one biscuit at tea ; but also great hospitality and warmth . The Netherlands is : sobriety , control and pragmatism ; But also the experience of intense emotions together . The Netherlands is far too diverse to summarize in one cliché . ' The ' Dutchman does not exist . As a consolation I can tell you that ' the ' Argentinian also does not exist . I therefore find it very interesting that the title of the report of the Scientific Council for Government Policy is not ' the Dutch identity ' . But : Identification with the Netherlands . That leaves room for development and diversity . '' Critics felt that with this statement she unwisely entered a politically very sensitive area . During an interview in May 2011 , on the occasion of her fortieth birthday , Maxima said that she was shocked by the commotion her words had caused . She claimed she was misunderstood and that she wanted to make a compliment to the Netherlands for being a many - faceted society . International appointments ( edit ) Máxima in 2015 with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto Queen Máxima currently serves as the United Nations Secretary - General 's Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development ( UNSGSA ) . The UN Secretary - General Ban Ki - Moon designated her to this role in September 2009 in order to raise awareness on the importance of inclusive financial systems for achieving economic and development goals such as poverty alleviation , food security and education . In her work as UNSGSA , the Queen focuses on how formal financial services such as savings , insurance , and credit can prevent people from falling into poverty due to expenditures on healthcare , and people who are not able to protect themselves against rising food prices and poverty because they do not have access to basic savings accounts . The role of the UNSGSA is to foster action by governments , private sector , financial system standard setters , and others towards a more inclusive financial system that works for the poor . Máxima is also the Honorary Patron of the G20 Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion ( GPFI ) since June 2011 . In this role she works with governments and partners to advance the G20 Action Plan on Financial Inclusion , and the G20 Financial Inclusion Peer Learning Program . Previously , the Queen was a member of the Advisors Group for the United Nations ' International Year of Microcredit 2005 and until 2009 , was a member of UN Advisors Group on Inclusive Financial Sectors . Titles , honours and arms ( edit ) By a decree issued on 25 January 2002 , upon the solemnization of marriage , Máxima Zorreguieta was granted the titles Princess of the Netherlands and Princess of Orange - Nassau , and the style Royal Highness was formally conferred upon her . She also became `` mevrouw van Amsberg ( Mrs. van Amsberg ) '' . Another decree issued on the same day also granted her own personal coat of arms and a personal standard . On 13 May 2011 , the Dutch parliament confirmed that Máxima would become queen consort of the Netherlands upon her husband 's accession , after a debate over her future title and style . On 28 January 2013 , it was announced that Queen Beatrix would abdicate on 30 April in favour of Willem - Alexander . Máxima is the Kingdom 's first queen consort since Princess Emma of Waldeck and Pyrmont , the second wife of William III . She is the first Dutch queen consort to have been born as a commoner , and the first to have been born outside Europe .
