I don't mean to digress, I've seen all the Dutch recommendations and agree with them all. I would only add that a face mask should be added. If you look at photos of the Queen in the aisle you can see that social distancing was not maintained and the Queen was in very close proximity to her hosts.

This article perfectly explains why.

The Dutch authorities hold the opinion that the disadvantage of a mask is the faux feeling of safety it provides. It invites someone to take greater risks: "I am wearing a mask". But when a mask catches aerosols from air and people touch it, they infect themselves, especially when a mask is re-used again.

In public transport a mask is required because breaking the distance rule is almost unavoidable, especially when entering or leaving a bus, train, metro, etc. For the rest no masks are required. It is rare to spot a mask here. Queen Máxima is very in line with Dutch policy.

i hope the broken-up sidewalk in front of the community centre during the queen's visit is not a political statement!

Is the broche custom jewelry or real jewelry. I like the all white outfit!

I think real jewelry, she has worn it before in her earliest years as Princess Máxima. Fake jewelry is plastic. Doubtful that she wears plastic Made In China. This is jewelry without precious gemstones but the material can still be expensive: gold and mother of pearl.

Typically these visits aren't announced in advance, so I guess it was work in progress and would have been rather weird to suddenly order for it to be temporary closed without explaining why.

[Duc_et_Pair]

Indeed. The King and Queen have a habit of making un-announced visits in the framework of the Orange Fund because they try to avoid the protocol, the authorities, to engage with "the people on the floor".

Usually the project is told that an authority, or a delegation, or a group is coming to visit and then, to their surprise. it is the King visiting a recycling store (yesterday) or the Queen visiting a neighbourhood meeting point (today).
