Princess Maxima of the Netherlands showed the charm she's renowned for on Tuesday, as she visited a centre for street kids in Rio De Janeiro.
The striking blonde, along with her husband, Prince Willem-Alexander, and mother-in-law, Queen Beatrix, chatted with a group of enthusiastic children during a visit to the Sao Martinho Foundation, a non-profit organisation helping reintegrate homeless youngsters into society.
Maxima, wearing a white hat and cherry-toned trouser suit, animatedly talked with a little boy in a shirt autographed by football legend Pele, and later shared warm smiles and whispers with another young admirer.
The Dutch royals are on a five-day visit to the region, which aims to help strengthen trade ties. After Tuesday's tour of Rio, the queen and her family were scheduled to head to Sao Paolo, where the monarch planned to visit cultural sites and tour an aeroplane factory. On Friday, Maxima and Willem-Alexander will join her to explore Dutch colonial remains in Recife.
