Overview

• Queen Máxima wore a lime-green jumpsuit featuring a V-neckline and cape-like sleeves as she joined King Willem-Alexander in greeting NATO leaders at The Hague’s World Forum.
• The gathering marked the first NATO summit hosted by the Netherlands and drew officials from 32 countries, including President Trump, Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer.
• Born Máxima Zorreguieta in Buenos Aires in 1971, she earned an economics degree and held senior roles at HSBC, Dresdner Kleinwort Benson and Deutsche Bank before marrying then-Crown Prince Willem-Alexander in 2002.
• Máxima has earned praise as an early advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and has taken public stands on immigration and women’s economic empowerment.
• The royal couple’s decision to forgo a coronation ceremony and enroll their three daughters—Princess Catharina-Amalia, Alexia and Ariane—in public schools underscores their informal, modern approach to monarchy.
