While Meghan Markle captured all the attention of photographers when she arrived in New York, this Thursday, September 23, Maxima from the Netherlands discreetly exercised her obligations as queen during a General Assembly at the United Nations headquarters.
Photographers only had eyes for her. Recluse in his huge villa in Montecito since the birth of his little daughter Lilibet, Meghan Markle has decided to put an end to this long period away from the flashes of the paparazzi. This Thursday, September 23, the Duchess of Sussex created a surprise by arriving in New York on the arm of her husband Prince Harry. Very elegant, dressed in black, the couple arrived in a black SUV and greeted the crowd of photographers. “It’s wonderful to be back, thank you”, launched the 40-year-old actress, visibly happy to find the Big Apple as part of Global Citizen Live. Taking advantage of their passage in the Big Apple, Harry and Meghan went to the 9/11 memorial, ten days after the commemorations of the 20 years of the attacks of the Twin Towers. During this time, a famous queen was performing her royal duties in New York, as revealed by our colleagues on the site Royal Stories. From Tuesday 21 to Thursday 23 September, Queen Maxima attended the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
During her stay in New York, the wife of King Willem-Alexander assured various bilateral meetings and talks with government representatives before handing in his work on financial inclusion. Throughout the year, the mother of Princesses Catharina-Amalia, Alexia and Ariane collaborated virtually with the UN and thus conducted three virtual visits, in Ivory Coast, Togo and Senegal. If she shone with her financial expertise, the current Queen of the Netherlands has also offered a lesson in elegance in the Turtle Bay neighborhood. For this diplomatic meeting, she had bet on a vaporous dress with a vintage graphic print marvelously hugging the curves of her slender figure. Perched on burgundy leather stilettos, Maxima from the Netherlands had taken on the appearance of a real working-girl.
Maxima of the Netherlands, a queen in the background
This is not the first time that the Queen of the Netherlands has had the limelight stolen. On July 17, as the royal family improvised a photoshoot in the gardens of Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague, Maxima was eclipsed by her three gorgeous daughters. By striking a pose, the three teenage girls literally caught the photographer’s lens. While Princess Catharina-Amalia was a sensation in a red blazer, a real nod to her father’s attire, her sister Alexia was not lacking in daring in a blouse with balloon sleeves matched with emerald green pants. . For her part, Ariana showed off her pretty footwork under a blue and red print dress. Although relayed in the background, the mother could only be proud of the beauty and the refined style of his daughters.
