Dutch King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima are making a working visit to the states of Georgia and New York. On the first day of their visit, the King and Queen received in the State Capitol in Atlanta by the Governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp. The King and Queen then visited the historic King Center and laid a wreath at the grave of Dr. King and his wife Mrs. Coretta Scott King.
In the adjacent Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Dr. King preached, the King and Queen met with representatives of the church community and attended a seminar with young people led by Rev. Bronson Woods. In the afternoon, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima visited Patchwerk Recording Studios, a famous Atlanta studio where artists such as OutKast, 2Pac, Beyoncé and Madonna have recorded albums.
Another rewear; I feel the headpiece combines very well with the dress. As so very often, QM looks wonderful in red. Although it's a working visit, it can be considered to be a state visit.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous 😍

The king looks dapper....he has lost weight.
ReplyDeleteDie ominöse Abnehmspritze perhaps?
DeleteWell, well...
DeleteLovely. Atlanta is usually very HOT these days, so hopefully they're not too warm in the suits and such. Also, I think it would be more of an official visit vs. state visit, which typically entails meeting with the Head of State (President) at the White House and a very large, lavish format banquet with many celebrities and notables (and incredible fashion) from the visiting nation who live or work in the United States.

The South shall rise again! Rhett Butler would be charmed to meet the honorary belle of the South Queen Maxima!
ReplyDeleteWeather was pleasant, not hot at all. She is and looks fantastic! My daughter is right in front of her at the group picture. Queen Maxima really has a gift, with her energy and charme put us all at ease, she engaged with the kids, talked to my daughter. She accepted letters, drawings, my kids made origami figures, with grace. It was really special, make up, hair, jewelry, dress, everything was lovely!

What a thrill for your daughter Luna.
DeleteLovely that the Queen took the time to interact with the children.
Thanks for the uplifting onsite report! DLH
DeleteLuna, very nice to read your enthusiasm!
DeleteSo nice to hear from someone who actually had a real, personal, connection via your daughter, to one of the events we read on this blog. It makes these events seem so much more real for us, so thank you. And what a fun experience for your daughter.

Luna, what a wonderful memory for your daughter - and of course for you too 😊.
DeleteThe Queen looks sensational. Beautiful shade of red. The dress is very feminine and elegant. Love the hat, her accessories, perfect choice. The diamond and pearl brooch is a lovely addition adding interest to the bodice. She looks majestic and regal.
ReplyDeleteYes gorgeous.
DeleteJust fabulous from top to toe

Boring and outdated again.
ReplyDeleteAre you serious😳???
DeleteGorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a wonderful elegant dress, but again it lookes for me a bit overdressed for a day time visit to the gouverneur and esp for lading a wreath. For me it's more a cocktail dress
ReplyDeleteI will bet the church ladies loved her look!
DeleteSans avoir lu le titre et en regardant rapidement la première photo, j'ai cru voir la reine Mathilde ; ce n'est qu'après avoir fait défiler les photos que j'ai pu admirer le rouge magnifique qui est parfait jusque dans ses escapins !
ReplyDeleteAlthough it is a working visit (trade etc.) I hope there’ll be a dinner or something with a bit of glitz and glamour.
ReplyDeleteQueen Max looks smashing.
Nothing OTT ?????
Has Princess Beatrix had a little ‘chat’ with Max? 😕
I use to live in Atlanta and a good ole glitz and glamorous Southern outdoor Barbeque could be an option with a pig being roasted on an open flame served with collard greens and corn bread, um um!
Delete@FITZHUGH I want to say something but I don't know what to say.
DeleteI'll have to come back later. Hope you understand.
Oh, by the way, what would the dress code be for a glamour event like this?
IMHO te Governor's wife is the dest0dressed here.Very elegant and modern attire.
ReplyDeleteLove Queen Maxima's dress and headpiece. She looks wonderful and very elegant. Mrs. Kemp looks great--I love her suit. As a native of Atlanta I am glad to the Dutch King and Queen visited our art museum to see the fabulous exhibition of Dutch treasures. Although the temperatures were in the high 80s today the humidity was low so the weather was beautiful--and we love our AC here. How wonderful they took time to visit the King Center--it is a terrific museum and I hope they enjoyed their visit.

Yes, I must agree the King looks good, does look like he has lost some weight. The Queen looks magnificent in her outfit, the colour is wonderful on her.
ReplyDeleteThis dress is a stunner. Red is her color. I really like this fascinator, better than a large hat. Also nice to see Gov Kemp looking good. css
