On the evening of Tuesday, 24 June 2025, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands hosted a formal dinner at Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague for NATO leaders, on the occasion of the NATO Summit taking place in the city. King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima, joined by Crown Princess Amalia, welcomed the guests at the palace. NATO leaders are holding a two-day summit on 24 and 25 June in The Hague.
What an attention seeker maxima is. The spot like should be on king and crown princess. Too exaggerating
ReplyDeleteWhy should the spot be on Amalia. She is not the queen yet, and the king and queen hosted the party. Not the Crown Princess…
DeleteWhat a stupid comment
DeleteI agree. I think she always over does it either with loud clothing or too many or weird accessories.
DeleteVery unfortunate because she is a pretty woman and would look so much nicer if she turned it down a notch.

I think the pathological narcissist and attention seeker there is not Máxima.
DeleteAgree, particularly in this setting.
DeleteOh my goodness she is the queen and has always worn bold colours, she is the hostess so she can be a bit more flamboyant than her guests. At least she poses nicely for the photo unlike Mr. T.
Deletecouldn't agree more. she shone like the sun. it wasn't a solar meeting.
DeleteShe will never change. ~Ruthie
DeleteWhat a ridiculous comment.
DeleteEveryone looks good. Amalia looks fantastic!!! Mom and Dad look proud.
I don’t see it as attention seeking. The king and queen are, after all, the hosts of the summit and Maxima is being a good hostess by being warm and welcoming.
DeleteThe Crown Princess is easing into the spotlight. This had to be a bit intimidating to her.
DeleteCinci
Much like your nasty comment.
DeleteShe is the queen of the country, and belongs right where she is.
DeleteI kind of agree with you Anon 22 : 30.
DeleteGiven the current state of world affairs this is an extremely important Summit.
It would have been better if Maxima had dressed to blend in rather than stand out.
Yesterday's outfit would have been perfect for today.
On a different note I find the lack of women in the group photo rather diappointing for this day and age.

Everything to please Trump I read elsewhere !!
DeleteGive it rest dear. Maxima is the Queen of course she is allowed to take space. I don't see what you see of a few pictures. I see a warm, polite, welcoming and pleasant woman. Strange what negativity can tell us...
DeleteThinking that another one is seeking for attention
DeleteI don't agree at all. Yes, she has flair and this outfit fits like a glove, is flattering and she's one of the only in a colourful outfit. When you look at the group picture, you see all the women are wearing a different colour than blue, except one. One man even dares to wear a white suit, fabulous! It's because the rest of them are dressed very, very traditional (dare I say boring?) and because there are so little women, she stands out so much. And of course she should stand next to the king self assured, in a glamourous and powerful outfit. I believe this helps to break the severity of the gathering. I think WA is very proud of her, you can see it in the videos and pictures of the event. Amalia is wearing a wonderful dress too, sober but very elegant. Maybe Maxima even added a little extra oumpf to detract from Amalia's presence so she can learn in a more lowkey manner. Either way, she looks fabulous and she knows it :-) I wish we could see more women dress that way.

There are some disturbing comments here. Maxima is the hostess at a dinner. She is wearing a hostess outfit. I think it is a great choice. Suggesting she dress to "blend in" is a very antiquated statement. Maybe she should have stood in the back silently, knowing her place. Better yet, maybe she should have been in the kitchen preparing the food. This idea some have that there is an accepted color range and style a royal can wear and everything is inappropriate is ridiculous. Maxima is giving everyone a warm welcome in a troubled time and at a potentially stressful event.
DeleteMaybe she wanted to outshine Mr Trump's teeth.
DeleteEntirely agreed, @ Anonymous 9:26.
DeleteI would call these comments disturbing and disconnected from reality, too.
Comme de coutume, la reine Maxima est magnifique.
ReplyDeleteSa tenue est féminine et semble seoir à sa morphologie.
Par ailleurs, la couleur est à l’image de cette reine : vive.
Cependant, j’estime que :
1- cette cape ou ce tissu supplémentaire au niveau des épaules est superflu ;
2- si le pantalon était droit et non aussi large, cette combinaison aurait été plus belle ;
3- ce vêtement est inadapté pour la circonstance. Un vêtement professionnel (comme celui arboré en journée lors de la visite du premier ministre canadien et de son épouse) aurait été de mise.
Outre cela, je suis heureuse de constater que la princesse Amélia essaie d’autres styles de robes.
Cette robe est simple et jolie.
Néanmoins, une longueur genoux aurait été meilleure.
Sa paire d’escarpins est totalement à mon goût : élégante et féminine.

Absolutely not, she is doing a GREAT job towards Mr Trump....everyone has to play its role
ReplyDeleteI wish we could see more of princess Amelia’s dress. What a wonderful opportunity for her to meet some key players in the world.
ReplyDeleteLove this jumpsuit for Maxima, especially worn with her her hair out (and styled!) The flowing diagonal lines suit her perfectly. Lyra
ReplyDeleteThat look of bursting maternal pride which Maxima gives Amalia in Photo 3 -- so heart-warming.Lyra
ReplyDeleteAgree !!
DeleteI like this dress on the Princess of Orange. I wish we could see a photo of her straight on.

La princesse Amelia, qui, de plus en plus semble invitée à accompagner ses parents probablement, pour parfaire son éducation en tant que future souveraine, semble de plus en plus à l'aise dans son rôle et, à mes yeux, démontre beaucoup de classe et de retenue. Lorraine (Rose)
ReplyDeleteAlthough it’s not my favourite colour, Queen Maxima’s outfit looks fantastic, cape included and her looks good too. I would like a better view of Princess Amalia’s dress but her shoes are fabulous
ReplyDeleteIs it a jumpsuit? Having cape-sleeves is one thing, but then there are all those extra flaps in the front that just make it look messy. The jumpsuit fits beautifully, and if the sleeves weren't so fussy, the overall look would have been perfect.
ReplyDeleteWish we could have a better view of CP Amalia's dress. The side view with her tumbling tresses looks very nice.

I love the lime green shade of flowing outfit for Queen Maxima. She stands out beautifully in the midst of dark suits and subtle colors. The King is sporting a rather rugged look. But he’s still good looking. CP Amalia looks lovely in a classic black gown (of what I can see) and gorgeous pumps.
ReplyDeleteMaxima is who she is. A lot can be said about this choice... the bold colour, the low cut, the wide leg, the sleeves. Fact is, she rocked this outfit.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more; this royal family knows what it's (and should be) doing at moments like this
DeleteThe daughter very much the better dressed here.She looks lovely and her behaviour is very modest and friendly!
ReplyDeleteTo 22.30h: Green is the colour of hope and most of all, peace.
ReplyDeleteAll the critics here are missing the point, the Queen was wearing the color of Ukraine!
ReplyDeleteLovely dress on Q M!
ReplyDelete@Odlaner 23:39 You are fully right and said it quite nicely. Maxima is as usual, why should she change.
ReplyDeleteMother and daughter surely consulted each other about colors, but I regret the choice of black for Amalia for various reasons for this occasion. It can be Amalia's own choice, but IMV this young lady could stand out a bit more with a lighter color. The dress style maybe cares for that, but we cannot really see it.
Couleur vive très rafraîchissante chez Maxima - Amalia est parfaite dans cette robe qui épouse à merveille sa sihouette mais peut-être qu'elle est légèrement trop longue !
ReplyDeletePelosi has a plastic face but dresses sensational.
ReplyDeleteI know who you think may be Nancy Pelosi, the lady in the blue but that is not Nancy Pelosi, she is much more attractive and prettier than this lady!
DeleteThe Queen , Princess Amalia and Mrs Van der Leyen look spectacular.
ReplyDeleteI( want to) forgot the rest😉😸
* von der Leyen
ReplyDelete@Anon 8:11 What we are missing here then is an Enormous Blue hat to complete the look!
ReplyDeleteQueen Maxima's jumpsuit looks very flattering on her and her hair beautifully styled. The color of her jumpsuit is very eye-catching - you can not miss her in the group photo, - but why not wear something colorful? Yes, something more conservative would have suited better the event but tbh all the war news are so stressful anyway, so it is refreshing to see a beautiful queen representing her country and hosting such an event, and looking so elegant and stylish.
ReplyDeleteThe Crown Princess Amelia looks also very lovely and so good to see her attending more royal events.
