The state visit to Slovakia comes amid a busy period for the couple. Last month, Queen Máxima visited a customer service center to help those struggling with energy bills.

She seemed very excited but also eager to learn when she met the staff of the Temporary Emergency Power Fund in The Hague.

The mother-of-three kept an eye out during her visit, where she learned about help being given to families struggling with bills.

The fund supports vulnerable households experiencing financial difficulties due to high energy prices.
