On Tuesday morning, March 31, Queen Máxima attended the celebration of the 70th anniversary of Oxfam Novib in The Hague. She also officially opened the new office during the gathering. Following the unveiling of a sculpture to mark the occasion, the Queen spoke with staff members and partners working in programme countries.
She then attended the panel discussion “Youth For Change: Why Our Voices Matter,” which focused on youth participation and the protection of civic space and the rights of young activists and changemakers. She also viewed an exhibition on Oxfam Novib’s 70-year history, titled “Generations of Changemakers.”
Oxfam Novib works with partners and changemakers to develop structural solutions aimed at addressing inequality at its roots. This is carried out through projects worldwide, focusing on four key themes: equal rights and opportunities, humanitarian aid and reconstruction, a fair economy, and climate justice.
On March 31, 2026, Queen Máxima attended the launch event of the GelijkGezond Foundation. The organisation aims to increase the number of healthy years of life for people with lower incomes, thereby reducing health inequalities and strengthening financial security.
GelijkGezond works with so-called “perseverers” (dedicated professionals): individuals who, together with the people involved, address their problems while collaborating with general practitioners, local healthcare and, staff working in the social sector.
The Queen’s dress is very pretty and fits her beautifully, except, to my eyes, the hem is out of proportion. To me, because of the cut of the skirt of the dress, it would look so much better if it were a few inches longer. I understand and respect that others’ opinions on the length will very.
ReplyDeleteTrès belle couleur brique autant dans la robe que le style de son chapeau ; dommage, je ne vois pas bien ses boucles d’oreilles !
ReplyDeleteAgree !!
DeleteWhat a great dress
ReplyDeleteQueen Maxima looks loverly very 1960's. One proviiso though. A much better foundation garment than the one she is wearing and the belt where it is supposed to be would very much improve the look. The fraction too tight dress and not impeccable fit screams Natan but I may be wrong. However her smile forgives everything.
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is a very conservative look for Maxima. I like the unusual rose colour, the length and the perfect fit. I think she looks great. She always has a radiant smile on her face and looks very happy.
