After traveling through Canada, British monarchs again began to visit other countries. This time it's about the Netherlands, where Kate Middleton was on a one-day visit today. To the great surprise of the press and the fans of the royal family, the duchess was alone, and on the Internet they already dubbed this trip the "first solo".
Lunch with the King of the Netherlands
Immediately after arriving, Kate Middleton went to lunch with the King of the Netherlands, Willem-Alexander. The meeting took place in the residence of the monarch Villa Eikenhorst. Only the King welcomed the Duchess of Cambridge, because his wife Queen Maxima is on a working visit to Argentina.
Judging by the pictures that journalists provided, the meeting was held on a very friendly note. Kate and Willem-Alexander constantly smiled at each other, and even in official photos could not hide mutual sympathy. The meeting did not last long, despite the fact that Middleton was instructed to discuss a number of political issues with the monarch of the Netherlands. As representatives of the king said, the conversation turned out to be very informative.

Visiting the Mauritshuis Museum and meeting with local people
After acquaintance with King Willem-Alexander, Middleton went to the Mauritshuis Art Museum, where the exhibition At Home in Holland took place: Vermeer and his Contemporaries from the British Royal Collection. It featured paintings by 22 Danish artists of the 17th century. As she admitted after watching the gallery Kate, she liked the painting, because she had studied history of arts at the university for many years.
Next, the Duchess of Cambridge talked with children from the local commune and just with the residents. As expected, the meeting was held in the format of a "live corridor", when everyone could welcome Kate. In addition, Middleton photographed with people and signed them posters and postcards.
After that the duchess visited the charitable organization Bouwkeet, where a round table was held. It discussed the issues of mental health of the population, the problems of alcoholism and drug abuse among young people, and raised the issue of domestic violence.
For a trip to the Netherlands, Middleton chose an elegant suit from the British brand Catherine Wolker, who was very fond of Princess Diana. Attire was subdued by its simplicity and restraint. He was sewed from blue fabric and skillfully combined 2 elements: a pencil skirt and a jacket with a basque.
