On 29 September 2026, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands attended the annual congress of the Association of Netherlands Municipalities (VNG) in Lichtenvoorde. This year’s theme is “We Do It Together”. During the plenary programme, Queen Máxima, in her capacity as Patron of the Oranje Fonds, delivered a speech on the importance of social initiatives.
Queen Máxima subsequently spoke with local government officials and municipal councillors about cooperation between municipalities and social initiatives. The VNG Annual Congress is taking place on 29 and 30 September in the Achterhoek region, with Oost Gelre and Winterswijk serving as host municipalities. The congress focuses on cooperation between municipalities, residents, civil society organisations and other levels of government.
QM attended an important conference where many were smartly dressed—both due to their official roles and because Her Majesty was due to make an appearance—yet she showed up in a baggy, crumpled suit with a messy hairstyle; I am speechless—it was truly beyond casual.
ReplyDeleteWhile I like the camel/navy colors here, I find this color on Maxima not very attractive. Of course her lack of hair styling is probably contributing to the overall bland look.
ReplyDeleteYes you are right, she should pull that hair into a ponytail - no extension pls for everyday business - but just listen to her speaking, watch her demeanor, her brains, her engagement and the smile she gives to all this. This is why her weaker points like the hair - well I couldn't care less, because of her personality.
