Queen Máxima and Microfinance / Financial Inclusion - Page 11

The brown blazer with the plum top underneath is a great color combination. As always I think with Maxima it's not necessarily the clothes she wears but her "bubbly" personality and smile that is so appealing. Some of her outfits may not always be to my exact taste

but she has the charisma and sparkle that makes the clothes almost secondary. I can see her getting pregnant again but I think she may want to wait a few months before that.

That grey suit reminds me of the first pictures of her that were taken in NYC, back in 1999...

Máxima really needs to do something with her hair..
it looked nice yesterday; combed in a very nice way.. but today it again looked totally messy...
It's sad because it ruins her whole outfit and makes her look much older then she is.
Apart from this her grey outfit looked nice.

I like lila. ups sorry purple i mean, purple is a very stylisch colour this year and the fact that Maxima is wearing a purple shirt shows me that she think about mode, and she also have style.

As posted by Martin T on the Benelux Royals MB:

Quote:

In the Dutch magazine 'ABP Magazine' (an edition of the dutch pension fund ABP) this month is an interview with princess Máxima about her work concerning microfinance.
She is a member of the 'United Nations Advisors Group on Inclusive Financial Sectors' and of the 'Dutch Council for Microfinance'.
Máxima says she is attracted to microcredit, partly because of her economic background and partly because microfinance is about fighting poverty in a way which puts people and personal stories in the foreground. 80% of microcrdit is given to women, because women pay back better than men and because women shall invest more than men in personal things like health, education and housing.

great for maxima. i really admire the fact that all her interviews with tv and magazines are connected with her work, strictly.

i must say i'm impressed. it's not even 10 days since they came back from india and burma (and for maxima again india) and now she is off to russia. in the meantime, she takes advantage of mr. yunus meeting the queen to meet him herself personally. i find her admirable.

no pics of the event, though?

Not Burma Carlota,but Bhutan & India.

HRH and Mr.Yunus know eachother very well,the Princess handed out the Four Freedoms Award to him last year,before he was bestowed with the Nobel Prize,and have met on several occasions since.

Speech by HRH in Moscow,yesterday.

I have been trying too! With apparently the same amount of success. Frustrating.

Poor Princess Maxima! So many travels. I hope she remembers where she is when she awakes every morning!
