On April 7, 2026, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands met with European Commissioner for Financial Services and the Savings and Investments Union, Maria Luís Albuquerque, in Brussels, to discuss financial health. The EU Commission has developed a strategy for financial literacy aimed at improving the financial well-being of citizens in the EU.
The purpose of the April 7 meeting is to explore how the efforts of the EU and those of Queen Máxima—in her role as the UN Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Financial Health and as honorary chair of the Money Wise Platform and the Financially Healthy Netherlands Foundation—can reinforce each other.
Last year, the European Commission launched the Financial Literacy Strategy to improve knowledge of financial matters and strengthen the financial resilience of EU citizens. Building on this, the Commission recently established a network of ambassadors committed to promoting financial literacy in EU countries. Queen Máxima, in her capacity as honorary chair of the Money Wise Platform, is one of these ambassadors.
Crazy pants, lol!
ردحذفOops that fabric does not work with the wide pants. Jacket is a nice fit and colour. Not the best look.
ردحذفNearly clown trouser width. Not a good look
ردحذفI thought of Charley Chaplin
حذفAgree !! Fabric is too thick
حذف100% agree!
حذفI can only assume this three piece pantsuit is on trend, but it doesn't appeal to me.
ردحذفHorrible slacks! MR
ردحذفClown dress!!!!!!
حذفYes, awful pantsuit. The trousers far too big. Not everything that is fashionable is suitable.
حذفAh, this suit again. It's so close to being just right, I would like it, except for the weird ruching at the sides of the knees. Lyra
ردحذفMaxMara has made a strange decision with these trousers. This is a rewear for Maxima, she wore it not that long ago, which is good to see - but I don’t think the designer has done a good job here.
ردحذفWat een grove stof, winters en onflatteus.
ردحذفTe veel stof, grof en de boots eronder staan lomp, ze heeft mooiere MM pakken.
ردحذفThe pants are a no for me. The jacket and vest fit perfectly but the pants are sloppy looking and unattractive. And QM’s hair needs attention. I don’t understand why she makes such a concerted effort to dress appropriately with her outfits, accessories, and jewelry, but she does nothing with her hair (unless it’s a foreign tour).
ردحذفMaxima’s hair has a long history of discussion here. It does not need more attention as you suggest!, as it has had plenty. I think she’s a professional woman with difficult hair who is relaxed and confident enough to not worry too much about it on most days, and then to have it beautifully styled whenever it really counts. The Netherlands is a relaxed country dress-wise and being overly styled is not necessary. We can trust her experience in being queen over our experience in being observers and let her be her.
حذفAbsolutely perfect response @Anon 13:02
حذفWell said!
- Anon 9:13
Thanks Anon 9:13. I appreciate that.
حذفWell said 13:02. I too am tired of the criticism of Maxima’s hair. It’s HER hair, part of her body, not a garment to be discussed!
حذفLove it. Great modern suit and the Queen looks business like with a twist.
ردحذفMaxMara did a lousy job of designing those pants . The pants on the model look sloppy and tacky at best.
ردحذفI like the jacket; a simple cut white blouse would have looked better and Maxima should have worn different trousers. Perhaps fitted black trousers . Otherwise, wear another designer. Some designers' fashions don't deserve to be showcased by anyone, let alone royal ladies who represent a country!
Wow, Maxima is wearing THE trousers of 2026. Her silhouette looks so different with these, but I really like the change. It's modern.
ردحذفAlthough I agree the material is not the best for this kind of trousers.
Sorry, I don’t care if it is modern, I think it is ugly and not elegant
حذفSorry, I don’t care if it is modern, I think it is ugly and not elegant
حذفI agree. It is not because it is modern I must like it. The jacket O.K. .but the vest is not necessary anymore. It is spring and not cold compared to last week. The trousers are really ugly. She has other beautiful trousers in burgundy, black, cream which would look very good with the jacket. She also has several matching tops to wear underneath. Dressing too extravagant often result in a bad choice.
حذفI agree with @08.04 - she looked dreadful when she first wore this suit and looks dreadful in it now. She tries too hard to be of the moment and never
ردحذفcomes across as authentic,IMO. AND no excuses can be accepted for the awful hair. I am sure she has the money and access to the best advice, use it!
No 9:07, she does not look dreadful. That is completely unfair and you would hate anyone to say it about you. You might not like her clothes - that’s different.
حذفAh 9:07, not dreadful. I too do not like the trousers, but she does not look dreadful. Can you criticise the clothes rather than the human?
حذفThis time I think we can expect unanimity (or almost since I read nuances) on NO to the trousers, particularly in combination with the design of the jacket. Except to say it is trendy, what sort of neutral comment can be made on this suit ? If I were a Dutch citizen I would regret money was spent on it.
ردحذفCalm down. It’s one outfit and you have no right to speak for a whole nation of people.
حذفI love wide pants but these pants are way too hide !
ردحذفAlong with see through dresses, I'm looking forward to when slacks that drag on the floor are out of favor. Otherwise, I like the top and QM always pulls her look off well.
ردحذف@13.02- 'have it (hair) beautifully styled when it counts ' - you are suggesting that most of the people she meets 'don't count' because 99% of the time her hair is a mess. So she must regard most people not worthy of any effort on her part. It certainly appears so most of the time.
ردحذفNo 13:25, that’s not my intention at all.
حذفCe tailleur pourrait me plaire mais pas au niveau du pantalon !
ردحذفUffa, Maxima is wearing those trousers in 2026. The silhouette is very very ugly
ردحذفThe trend for wide legged pants is unfortunate. Not all fashions should be followed!
ردحذفThis three piece is one piece too many. I would have preferred a bright white tee in place of the vest.
ردحذفMrs Cleaver
Too much gray needs some color top and different bottoms. I like wide leg pants, but this one is a bit over the top IMO.
