The queen accessorised her look with a pair of dazzling blue earrings and a matching brooch. 

Her blonde hair was swept into an up-do and she completed her look with navy heeled shoes, a clutch bag and touch of pink lipstick and eye liner.

Maxima and Willem-Alexander also signed the guest book during the meeting at the palace. 

It comes amid a busy period for the couple. Last month, Queen Maxima visited a customer contact center helping those struggling with energy bills.

She seemed in high spirits but also eager to learn as she met with staff at the Temporary Emergency Energy Fund, in The Hague.

The mother of three was attentive throughout her visit, where she learnt about the help being given to families struggling with bills.

The fund supports vulnerable households that run into financial difficulties due to high energy prices. 

Meanwhile she also attended the NUL ZES workspace in Eindhoven, which houses designers of all backgrounds.
