Queen Máxima of the Netherlands combined diplomacy with a subtle fashion statement as she welcomed JPMorgan Chase Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon to Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague on July 7, 2026.
The Dutch queen received the banking executive in her capacity as the United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Financial Health (UNSGSA), with the pair discussing ways the financial sector can help improve household financial well-being around the world.
According to the Dutch Royal House, the conversation focused on macroeconomic developments affecting consumers and explored how major financial institutions and businesses can contribute to strengthening financial health, particularly for vulnerable groups.
While the meeting centered on global finance, Queen Máxima’s outfit also attracted attention for its connection to Latin American fashion.
