these photos are wonderful! thanks so much for posting them. wow. grey tweed. Maxima is sporting a more "serious" look today than during the rest of this trip. I really like it though. this outfit flatters her and its a nice change.
thanks so much for the photos! those sunglasses are wonderful. they remind me of pre-engagement Maxima tabloid photos.(sigh) we didnt know all the good things that would be coming...
i loved the warmth that could be seen in the state visit. the detail of the bracelet they gave to maxima, them meeting those young people, the princes seein the people working and all wi a big smile on their faces. even the sweets were sweet :) and a clear action of hospitality and warmth from the moroccan people.
maxima looks great with sunglasses. they make her seem younger.

"her skirts are a little high I think for a visit to a muslim country. I think it's considered inappropriate to the culture (if not disrespectful to the religion) to show your knees - are there any moroccans on the board who could help me out on this?"
I don't think that would be the case. Morocco has a booming tourism industry so I think the residents of Marrakesh are used to seeing a woman's knees.
oh believe me they are used to it, you should see what moroccan girls wear, morocco is more open than other muslim countries. young women there wear strapless shirts and mini skirts like in any european or american country, they also wear bikinis at the beach.(and i should know . it's my country.:) )

Thank you imane and everyone else who responded to my question. I come from India, and whenever I visit I dress Indian or at least conservative western slothes. Some parts of India, like Bombay, are very progressive, and I have seen tourists dress in shorts, etc. But I know I would feel uncomfortable myself, and not recommend to any women visiting, wearing short skirts, shorts, etc. Certainly my family would find it inappropriate (while I'm in India). Maybe I come from a conservative family. Or we allow greater latitude to foreigners than to our own.
Anyway, thank you for clarifying the issue. And I'm sure the DRF would have checked for dress restrictions before arriving. And it's not like her skirts were really short anyway, I just didn't know if showing any knee was OK.
indeed! it was the best of both worlds. it let them celebrate 400 years of relations between NL and Morrocco and Maxima got to work on Microfinance and WA got to work on Watermanagement.

I like all the clothes that CP Maxima wears for this trip.My only complaint is her hair.It's a bit untidy and doesn't suit her .She looks older in this hairstyle.
