proof that having a foreign-born queen does have its perks at getting one an invite into big events like the G20 ;) Well done on maxima for having orchestrated that.

i believe it is the first time we see her in a G20?

Interestingly, based on the size of the economy Argentina shouldn't be in the G20 (as it's the 21st economy) and the Netherlands should be (as it is the 18th) - the Netherland's economy is about 30% bigger (measured in GDP) than Argentina's... :whistling:

It might be the first time for Mark Rutte to be invited. His precessor Balkenende attended several G20 meetings.

Thank you iceflower for always keeping us up to date with HM work. I wished there were subtitles for the interview she gave in Jordan!
I love how assertive & confident she is chairing those meetings. Reminds me of Queen Letizia with at various boards meetings!

Several members of parliament are not amused that the queen had this meeting and did not discuss the UN report about the crown prince involvement in the murder of mr. Khashoggi (this was confirmed by the RVD) - and are surprised that nobody advised against it/that it was approved. See this article on NOS (the Dutch BBC).

The politically responsible Prime Minister was is Osaka and all participants posed for a group photo with the Crown Prince included. Let us say: real life is not the Place Of Perfection the Binnenhof (Inner Court, the Houses of Parliament) mistakes it for.
 
I also found the photo of the Queen with a known murderer rather surprising.

I understand what you say Duc: in international politics you are bound to have to deal with people with dirty hands, including dictators and murderers. But I see no reason why we have to drag the queen down into the filth with these kind of people.

I suppose she must have met with the CP to convince him of the impact of micro finance. I can imagine a normal UN envoy meeting the Crown Prince. But HM is not a normal diplomat. She is not a politician. She is the Queen of The Netherlands. The Queen of The Netherlands should not be photographed cosying up to & thus legitimizing murderers and dictators.

This meeting was very ill advised done with complete disregard for HM role as our Queen. As her work for the UN is now hampering her most important role perhaps it is time to drop the UN function.
