Queen Máxima on sightseeing tour with First Ladys and a first gentleman
Queen Máxima spent a day in Rotterdam with the partners of the heads of state and government – including a bright group photo.
While the heads of state and government devoted themselves to great political questions at the NATO summit in the Haag, their spouses experienced a very special day in Rotterdam. Queen Máxima took on the role of the perfect host for the illustrious international audience in the port city on Wednesday.
Together with Loes Meurs, the partner of Prime Minister Dick Schoof, the Dutch queen led the delegation to the depot of the Boijmans Museum van Beuningen. There Rotterdam’s Mayor Carola Schoute received international guests for a special cultural program.
Spectacular view and art full
The day started with a photo shoot on the roof of the museum in front of the Skyline Rotterdam. In the picture, Máxima stands in a white satin dress with a green leaf overrun skating in the middle.

The route led past the city’s most famous sights: the Erasmus Bridge, the Euromast, the Historical SS Rotterdam and the DE-HEF Bridge.

The wife of the German Chancellor deliberately did not take part in the excursion: According to government spokesman Stefan Kornelius, the “tense situation and location in the Middle East” made it necessary from the perspective of the Chancellor’s couple “a concentrated work summit”, which is why Charlotte Merz remained a distance program.
