Queen Maxima, recovering from pneumonia, and King Willem-Alexander work for America. The queen accompanies a large cabinet on her trade mission to California and Texas.
According to royal family expert Jan-Keys Emmer, Máxima’s visit to the US opens doors. “Many entrepreneurs go to that lunch anyway, to see a queen,” Emmer said on NPO 1’s Goedemorgen Nederland. So those entrepreneurs think “to do some business or business”.
Google and Facebook

Emmer says there is a lot to do in America for the Netherlands. “Look at companies like Google, where is Rani still going, and Facebook. We can learn a lot from that.” On the contrary, he says, Americans can also learn a lot from the Netherlands. “It’s about movement, it’s about cycling. Later in the week, the Queen will visit Austin, where a full cycleway scheme has been implemented following the Dutch example.
Ministers
The Queen will therefore be joined by a number of ministers, including Liesje Schreinmacher (Foreign Trade), Ernst Kuypers (Public Health) and Robert Dijkgraaf (Education). Secretary of State Vivianne Heijnen (Infrastructure) also joins.
