King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands during a photo moment with the Thames and Tower Bridge
State Visit of the King and Queen of the Netherlands, London, UK - 24 Oct 2018
I LOVE this dress that Maxima wore on the final day of their visit to the UK. (It's Oscar de la Renta. I LOVE it.) This pic is also so charming; they are a real two-person charm offensive. I also want to talk this moment to thank to commenters at Order of Splendor, who came up with "Max and Wax" as their nickname ages ago -- I don't want anyone to think that is our handiwork!-- because it is TOO PERFECT.

State Visit of the King and Queen of the Netherlands, London, UK - 24 Oct 2018
Edward and Sophie (and the Duke of Kent back there! Elegant as always) were Maxima and W-A's buddies on the second day of their trip and once I thought about this, it made total sense: Edward and Sophs are the British royals who go to all the Euro Weddings, so they've totally spent the most amount of Social Time with the MaxWillems.

Sophie looks very 80s but also good in this; also, for one hot sec, I thought her skirt wasn't line and READER I SCREAMED. Internally.

One of the nice things about this trip is that you can tell that the Dutch royals LOVE QEII, and she likes them, too. She has a poker face for the ages but you can tell when she likes someone.
