The Dutch Queen recently traveled to the US. Last month, Maxima visited Washington, D.C. and New York in her role as the UN Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development (UNSGSA).
Maxima and Willem-Alexander, who ascended the Dutch throne in 2013, made their first visit to the US as King and Queen of the Netherlands back in 2015.
