On Monday, April 7, Queen Máxima visited the Gelderland village of Hoenderloo to attend the opening of the "Week of the Community Centre." From April 7 to 14, community and village centres across the Netherlands open their doors to showcase the activities they offer and highlight their significance as places for social connection, education, culture, and relaxation.
The gymnasium and meeting spaces are used for various activities including volleyball, yoga, casual chats over coffee, darts, theatre, singing, and folk dancing. The visit concluded with a roundtable discussion on the importance of community gathering spaces in towns and neighborhoods, the role of volunteers and managers, cooperation among community centres, and the current and future opportunities and challenges they face.
The Week of the Community Centre is an initiative by the National Association for Small Communities and the provincial umbrella organizations for neighborhood and village centres. During the week, board members, managers, and volunteers can participate in webinars on topics such as collaboration with municipalities, sustainable management of community centres, and the evolving role of these centres in a changing world.
During her visit to Hoenderloo, Dutch Queen Máxima wore an ochre yellow outfit by Natan. Queen Máxima has been regularly wearing this ensemble since 2019, occasionally opting to wear just the trousers on their own.
I like the outfit, she can wear that colour, though it is not a colour I like. Gosh her smile is so engaging.
ReplyDeleteMy first instinct is to hate the outfit - the colour, the fit, etc - except she actually looks fantastic in it! She’s like a light in that room exuding joyful energy.
ReplyDeleteLa couleur moutarde de cette association lui convient bien !
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to understand why Maxima and Mathilde are in the habit of wearing Natan so often. Usually the outfits don't fit well and they don't loook at their best wearing them.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Natan gives them the garments to help promote their brand, which is known to be done.
Delete19:50 I also wonder the same!
DeleteSunny colour, don’t like the messy top and het hair looks not so fresh..
ReplyDeleteHer hair is her hair, fresh and a little bit wild. I think she likes it that way, because she surely has the resources if she wants it different.
DeleteI’m not a huge fan of monochrome outfits nor of the colour mustard but Queen Maxima manages to make it look good, especially if it was teamed with the coat
ReplyDeleteWay too
ReplyDeletemuch mustard yellow.

… until you see how she glows in it! I don’t like the colour but have to admit she looks fantastic in it.
DeleteYep - too much mustard here. I sure wish some other designer would give them outfits to wear - if that's the trick to getting rid of Natan.
