The Princess has been appointed as the UN Secretary-Generals's Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development,

The Princess will not only advice the SG but also will travel the globe extensively on behalve of th UN to
promote the use of inclusive financial services.

I think it is fantastic that she has the opportunity to use her talents & knowledge to such extend,
and,a nice side effect,prestige for The Netherlands.Nuestra chica latina,We are proud of her!

Newspaper Telegraf has the new UN job of the princess as the main headline on their cover. Apparently she will try to make financial services more accesible for everybody, esp. in developing countries. The newspaper will have an interview with the princess tomorrow btw (on this topic).

Interesting to see that the princess takes on a new UN job, does anybody know if she is installed for a limited amount of years? I thought that after the last one she said it was nice to focus more on the Netherlands and on her family.
