Kudos to the Queen and really the Netherlands for having such centers and doing the research. Here in the US very little efforts and attention have been brought to long-covid. Sadly it only seems to gain media attention once someone commits suicide from the insufferable effects.
 
While in New York City today, February 25, unrelated to her meetings as UN Special Advocate for Financial Health, see here, Queen Máxima had an extra event and visited "Anne Frank - The Exhibition" at the Center for Jewish History in Manhattan:

It seems they made a replica of her bedroom in the center?

Yes they did. They also have the same at the Anne Frank Center at the University of South Carolina. It is truly an educational experience to go on the tour.

Queen Máxima participated in the INSEAD Alumni Forum "Lead with Integrity, Shape the Future Now!" in Amsterdam today, April 4. She did so both in her role as Secretary-General of the United Nations and in connection with her work for the Dutch SchuldenlabNL, the Wijzer in geldzaken and the National Coalition for Financial Health:

It would have been nice if her brother-in-law prince Constantijn had joined her as he is one of many alumni of INSEAD in the Netherlands.
 
It would but his role is rather small, not at all like Princess Margriet's. Of course it is an open question if we actually need more active royals. The trend everywhere is to downside it as much as possible to only the core.

Actually Prince Constantijn did attend the event! As a guest, but still..

You can see him in the still shot and approaching and greeting Máxima at 9:38 of this video:


 
How lovely, as an alumnus it makes sense that he participated as a regular attendee!
 
Thanks for that. I am surprised a prince and brother of the King is not seated on the front row, even when in private capacity.

Wopke Hoekstra has unbuttoned his shirt until his belly button. Not sure why, as a Euro commissioner, that may not be the best look. As the poster boy for ´failing upward´ one wonders if that is especially suited for INSEAD or not.

Máxima said "just arrived?" to Constantijn when he came over to greet her. So, it appears that he didn't attend her interview but arrived later - so, it makes sense that he wasn't seated on the first row as he wasn't there yet.
 
I had not caught that, but it explains it all, thanks!
 
Queen Máxima as honorary chair of the MIND Us Foundation visited the municipality of Deventer as part of the Leading Locals network of MIND Us today, April 8:

The foundation must be dear to her. During the launch in 2022 she spoke about her motivation to join and about the mental health of her sister and about her own struggle and the question if they couldn´t have done more.
 
This afternoon, April 9, Queen Máxima visited the Heerlerbaan district in the municipality of Heerlen.

According to the Palace the purpose of the visit was to "highlight how Heerlerbaan as a community deals with challenges such as increasing aging and creating opportunities for young people, and how residents work together to create a liveable and safe neighborhood. Furthermore, the visit will focus on the (mining) past, entrepreneurship, encounters and social cohesion":

The text ("the queen will speak to entrepreneurs and residents about the challenges they face, in areas such as aging and safety.") and pictures (Máxima with a child on her lap) don't really match :)
