King Willem-Alexander and Queen M\u00e1xima of the Netherlands are continuing their working visit to the United States, which began on Monday the 13th and will conclude this Wednesday, April 15. As outlined in their schedule, the royal couple spent Tuesday in Miami, Florida, accompanied by Secretary of State Cord Byrd. They enjoyed a day filled with art and a relaxed conversation with a group of talented students, to whom the Queen offered an answer to one of the big questions about her outfits on this official trip.<\/p>\n

As shared by official channels of the Dutch Royal Household, the King and Queen kicked off their day this Tuesday, April 14, alongside students at Henry Mack School. During the visit, the children showed M\u00e1xima and Willem-Alexander the murals they have created in collaboration with artists from the Netherlands, as well as from its Caribbean territories, its three constituent countries, Aruba, Cura\u00e7ao, and Sint Maarten, and its three special municipalities, Bonaire, St. Eustatius, and Saba.<\/p>\n

For the occasion, Queen M\u00e1xima, long a trendsetter thanks to her much-admired outfits, chose a striking lime green two-piece and oversized sunglasses that brought to mind her daughter, Princess Amalia of the Netherlands. The look, both comfortable and stylish and perfectly suited to the setting, is one we have seen her wear variations of before: a vibrant palette, a midi skirt, and a defined waist. It is a formula that shows she is ready for any day packed with official duties.<\/p>\n

The sunglasses, so characteristic of the heir apparent, were not the only nod to Princess Amalia from the Queen. As mentioned, the artists behind the murals the royals visited, along with the school\u2019s students, are young people from across the Kingdom of the Netherlands, including its Caribbean regions.<\/p>\n

A mention that undoubtedly brought their eldest daughter to mind, as it was there that she made her first official trip as future head of state alongside her parents, who have always shown how proud they are of Princess Amalia and the way she is growing into her institutional role.<\/p>\n

The big question about a royal staple<\/p>\n

For the Queen, who comes across as outgoing and deeply passionate about art, chatting with the young artists was a unique experience. When introducing herself, one of the students at the school they visited could not resist asking about the quintessential item every child associates with royalty.<\/p>\n

An unexpected question that Queen M\u00e1xima answered warmly, with a laugh. \u201cI left it at home,\u201d she said with a big smile, making it clear she was not at all uncomfortable. In fact, she seemed delighted to answer that question and the many others the students had for her.<\/p>\n

The rest of their time in Miami<\/p>\n

Afterward, as shared by the Dutch Royal Household, King Willem-Alexander and Queen M\u00e1xima joined the Secretary of State and visited one of Miami\u2019s most iconic art venues, the P\u00e9rez Art Museum.<\/p>\n

Later, after wrapping up their tour through the museum\u2019s expansive galleries filled with remarkable works of art, the King and Queen held a series of discussions on trade ties between the Netherlands and Florida. Topics included \u201cthe investment climate and exploring opportunities for cooperation in logistics, employment, and talent development,\u201d according to official statements from the Dutch Royal Household.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"King Willem-Alexander and Queen M\u00e1xima of the Netherlands are continuing their working visit to the United States, which…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":232511,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[103961,123,125,124,103963,103962],"class_list":{"0":"post-232510","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami","8":"tag-king-willem-alexander","9":"tag-miami","10":"tag-miami-headlines","11":"tag-miami-news","12":"tag-queen-maxima","13":"tag-royals"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=232510"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232510\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/232511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=232510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=232510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=232510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
