Once in the driving seat, the royal looked nervous to reverse the vehicle, pulling a decidedly worried face.
The mother-of-three was without her husband King Willem-Alexander, who she recently joined on a trip to Germany.
Last week, the royal couple underwent a three-day visit in Germany that was delayed from last year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
They were greeted with a 21-gun salute after landing in wet weather at Berlin’s airport at the beginning of Willem-Alexander’s first state visit to Germany since he became king in 2013.

During the three days, they met with President of the Bundestag Wolfgang Schäuble in Berlin.
A meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is is preparing to hand over power after almost 16 years in the autumn, is also on the agenda during this week’s visit.
Willem-Alexander and Maxima were last in Germany in 2019, when they visited the state of Brandenburg, which surrounds Berlin.

The king has some German roots – his father, Prince Claus, who was the consort of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, was German-born.
The mother-of-three daughters, Catharina-Amalia, 17, Alexia, 15, and Ariane, 13, married into the Dutch royal family in 2002.
Willem-Alexander became king after his mother, Beatrix, abdicated in April 2013 after 33 years as reigning monarch.
Queen Maxima has reportedly said that she had no inkling that Willem-Alexander was heir to the throne when they first met.
