Covering the Dutch King and Queen’s visit to Philadelphia! 🇳🇱 🇺🇸
King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands arrived for a working visit to Philadelphia yesterday ...and I was there!
I, unsurprisingly, also have lots of thoughts.
This is the first visit by a reigning monarch to the US in America's 250th anniversary year. The history between the Netherlands and the United States runs deeper than most people know.
Let's break down what went into this day of engagements: the soft diplomacy, the fashion, and my personal impressions from the ground.
