On April 21, 2026, Queen Máxima received Texas First Lady Cecilia Abbott at Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague. The visit follows their previous meeting during Queen Máxima’s economic working visit to California and Texas in 2022. First Lady Cecilia Abbott is leading an international trade mission together with Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson.
In addition to the Texas First Lady Cecilia Abbott, the meeting at Huis ten Bosch Palace was also attended by Christine Popolo, the spouse of the U.S. Ambassador to the Netherlands, Adriana Cruz, Executive Director of the Texas Economic Development and Tourism Office, and Jane Nelson, Secretary of State of Texas.

Spring colors would be nice.

Máxima looks very nice; perhaps she's in Argentinian Autumn. People wear what they like. And... there are 5 months of upcoming Spring & Summer for you to enjoy more colorful outfits. On the other hand, I recall a few years ago when a royal lady wore a pink dress in Winter & some commenters on here were in a pandemonium over that. ~~Ruthie
DeleteHi Ruthie.
DeleteI think you may be talking about the lovely light pink outfit that Letizia wore in the middle of Winter a few years ago.
I personally like to wear a bit of color in Winter rather than just drab and dark colors.

DeleteMaxima avrà tutto il tempo per indossare outfit colorati, la primavera è appena iniziata...sono certa che continuerà con colori e scelte audaci, nel suo stile.
Comunque nero e beige è sempre una bella garanzia.
@12:33Cate - Thank you! I couldn't remember who it was. Dark is classy; but of course some people on here get "depressed" if there's not a "pop of color" in every dark outfit. ~~Ruthie
DeleteWow the American contingent has dressed “to the nines”. I much prefer the simple good taste of Maxima’s outfit, and the colours are very good for her. Practical colours all year long.

ReplyDeleteI know, right?
Delete;D
DeleteThey are all dressed well, but look like they are all attending a different event. I do like the First Lady’s dress with the heavy embroidery
ReplyDeleteFirst lady Mrs. Abbott looks so lovely and elegant! Too bad her husband Governor Greg Abbott is a jerk and prejudice! I also live in the southern part of the USA in North Carolina. Then Crown Princess Mary @ the time visited the Abbotts when she visited Texas. Mary studied in Texas for a while!
ReplyDelete... what is "a jerk and prejudice"??
DeleteAt "Fitzhugh," I totally agree with you!
DeleteHis policies only benefit the wealthy, tax cuts for the rich, he discriminates against black, brown people and the LGBTQ+ community to name just a few!
DeleteOdd to put the pockets on the front of skirt where the 'sitting down' creases occur
ReplyDeleteCecilia Abbot's frock is gorgeous. It's a design by female American fashion designer Ricki Freeman, and the full length version is in a Texan fashion museum. Queen Mary wore the full-length version (with a different neckline) just this year at Denmark's New Year Reception, and also on 2 previous occasions. Arguably Ms Abbot's shorter version is still too formal for a daytime meeting...but I don't mind, as it looks so impressive within the interior of a palace. Lyra
ReplyDeleteJammer dat ze niet minder casual gekleed was, de andere dams zien er tiptop uit.
ReplyDeleteVeel te winterse look.
DeleteJ’aime bien la dernière photo qui nous permet de voir une belle palette de tenues !
ReplyDeleteThe ladies in the photo are all so smartly and stylishly dressed, some really wonderful outfits here. I cannot pick one out, I like each outfit. The First lady really looks smashing. I prefer the black blouse as opposed to the last wear of the outfit by the Queen.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Maxima in winter clothes? Did they turn off the heater at Huis ten Bosch?
ReplyDelete8:20 where do you live I wonder? In Europe, temperatures vary a lot in spring. It’s very common that we wear winter and summer clothes in the same week and even the same day. It’s normal here and not really something you can criticise.
DeleteI agree with 15:57. Today it was a very beautiful spring day with lots of sun and a blue sky but the NorthEast wind was not warm at all. The max. t° was 17 degrees Celsius but out of the sunshine it was only 15°. I can understand why Queen Maxima is wearing a woolen skirt and a sweater. And yes maybe the heating system in Huis ten Bosch was not on maximum any more, like in many houses. In a castle the temperature is never very hot. It is much easier to warm up a house or an appartement than a castle. Many people are also thinking about the price of the heating we will have to pay in the future. Therefore they are turning the heating a bit lower already.
DeleteQM really is a hard working royal 👑
ReplyDeleteArgentinian girl.
ReplyDeleteMeaning?
DeleteHas no meaning at all lol
DeleteGreat look for everyone. Mrs Abbott looks great.
