Queen Maxima of the Netherlands dons the Ukrainian colours as she visits a humanitarian service

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands looked typically chic as she visited a humanitarian service point for Ukrainian refugees on Wednesday. 

The royal, 50, exuded elegance in a bright yellow long sleeved top and matching trousers as she stepped out in the RAI, Amsterdam.

Donning the Ukrainian colours, she paired her ensemble with a blue longline coat. 

Maxima was shown around the refugee centre by members of staff, and met with families who have fled Ukraine.   

All Ukrainian refugees travel free of charge in the Netherlands upon presentation of a Ukrainian passport or identity card.

Nearly 3 million people have fled Ukraine since Russia invaded late last month.

Many international organisations are turning their focus and support towards the exodus of refugees who are fleeing and primarily going to neighbouring Poland, Moldova and other European states such as the Netherlands.

Inside the building the royal was spotted chatting to a mother who pushed her young child in a buggy. 

She later sat with another family as they eat lunch inside the refugee centre.  

Placing an empathetic hand on one women’s shoulder Maxima looked concerned about the on-going crisis in Ukraine.

Queen Maxima has been a royal since 2002, when she married King Willem-Alexander.

Willem-Alexander became king after his mother, Beatrix, abdicated in April 2013 after 33 years as reigning monarch.

Maxima has reportedly said that she had no inkling that Willem-Alexander was heir to the throne when they first met.

The couple share three daughters, Catharina-Amalia, 18, Alexia, 16, and Ariane, 14, married into the Dutch royal family in 2002.
