The gathering is an important step for Princess Amalia, the heir of her father, King Willem-Alexander. The 21-year-old princess has been getting more and more responsibilities as she grows up and gets ready to fulfill her family's duty to their country. 

Over the past days, Amalia has been shadowing her mother as the two have met with different officials and representatives, including a meeting with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

More details about the Princess and the Queen's trip 

Earlier this week, Queen Maxima and the Princess were working on promoting financial opportunities for Latin America and the Caribbean, an agenda that the Queen has been pursuing for the past year. As the Queen met with representatives of various financial banks and organizations, her daughter sat next to her and listened attentively, following along with a folder of notes that she held on to throughout the day.

In an interview with HOLA!, Queen Maxima revealed more of her royal duties, including her work for Latin America. "I'm now focused on financial health," she said. "We know now that many more people can get credit. Which is amazing, because it provides them with more opportunities to generate income."

"We have to examine with great attention how we can develop financial services that directly benefit people's financial health," she concluded.
