The mother-of-three, 51, wore her blonde locks down and tucked behind her ears as she arrived at the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam.

Wearing just a touch of blusher and light eye make-up, the Queen opted for a nude glossy lip for a natural daytime look. 

The Queen, who is married to King Willem-Alexander, 55, attended the centre to launch a new campaign centred around optical health.

Máxima’s ‘Marble myopia out of the world’ campaign is injecting funding into research around the eye condition myopia.

Myopia, which many will know as short-sightedness, is a common eye condition making it difficult for people to see objects that are far away.

It is usually corrected with glasses or contact lenses.

While in the city, the King and Queen attended a banquet with the president and his wife Doris Schmidauer and also went to watch a performance by the Dutch Chamber Choir.

Máxima, who spends much of her time supporting health causes, attended the launch of a mental health foundation in the city of Rotterdam in March this year.
