When I see him, King Phillippe or King Félipe, too, they all looked much more dapper WITH a beard! So yes, I agree with Duc on that one, too.

The Queen had a spontaneous meeting with the met the German Chancellor Angela Merkel on the street. The Queen seems to be suggesting whom Merkel should be talking to…

They were speaking in English 
Angela Merkel first asks "are you working here?" upon which Máxima explains that she has her 'ten-year tenure' (for her UN work). Then she tells that she talked to 'France' just now about women empowerment. Resulting in Merkel wondering 'which Franz' (probably thinking about Frans Timmermans; the (Dutch) vice-president of the EU) and only grasped that it was about the country when Máxima explained that she talked to the 'minister of finance' and Macron.

Ah I see, thanks. I have bad hearing at the moment and with additional noise in the background as there was at the time I saw the video it was a little more tricky to pinpoint the language!

So there’s a video circling of King WA showing the Dutch Prime Minister a video during President Trump speech at the UN. I shall try and find a link.

The King and Queen paid a visit to the RIVM, National Institute for Public Health and the Environment at Bilthoven near Utrecht. The working visit was in relation to the Corona Pandemic.
