She does a great work for the rights of children and for young girls. I admire her work. Children marriages is one of the most abuse of children. Children should play, go to school, grow up in a harmonical milieu.
 
Fantastic lady. She matters for all those without name and face, brutallu oppressed and denied basal human rights.

indeed. she is a passionate, involved person. my opinion of her definitely changed massively since she first married into the family. i am so impressed she continues to use her position in the best way to inspire change, and didn't just lock herself up following the death of friso and just attended red carpet events every now and again.
