Double denim queen! Maxima of the Netherlands gets stuck in by painting furniture during a volunteering day in Zoetermeer
Queen Maxima of the Netherlands rocked the smart casual look to perfection today as she took part in the national Dutch volunteering day.
Maxima, 51, refused to let the rain stop her from partaking in the fun, as she got stuck in with the other volunteers in Zoetermeer.
She varnished rather tired-looking wooden benches and tables which were in need of a lick of paint for NLdoet – the national Dutch volunteering day.
Maxima truly was the queen of casual, wrapped up for the occasion in a khaki double-layered coat with a padded, hooded layer on the inside.
She looked on trend in double denim, opting for a dark buttoned up jacket and bootleg jeans in a lighter wash.

Underneath the layers she wore an emerald green turtleneck to keep warm as she flashed a smile to photographers.
Maxima came ready to get stuck in, donning some practical yet sporty black trainers, which were just about visible underneath her fashionable flared jeans.
The NLdoet scheme sees people across the Netherlands roll up their sleeves and take part in work for the charity Oranje Fonds.
The charity was set up in 2002 as the country’s wedding gift to Queen Maxima and King Willem-Alexander, meaning they are patron and patroness.

She opted for natural makeup and a loose ponytail, letting her golden blonde tresses of hair dangle down as she concentrated on bringing the furniture back to life.
The royal couple smiled as Maxima popped her hood up to avoid the heavy rain, whereas the King smiled and embraced it.

Yesterday, Maxima visited an aid centre for Ukrainian refugees who have fled to Slovakia.
The mother-of-three spent a long time with one little girl, holding her in her arms and hugging her.
But she also met countless other children, who seemed to light up around the monarch and clambered into her lap.
