Queen Maxima has had a busy week of public engagements culminating in a school visit on Friday where she did a little teaching of her own - mostly in how to rock leather culottes.
The Argentinian-born Dutch royal, 52, was seen on Friday looking sensational in the waist-cinching culottes in a burgundy-meets-brown shade.

Her Royal Highness was seen with her husband King Willem-Alexander attending the opening of the Kings Games at the KBS Klippeholm and CBS Vesterhavet school.

© GettyWe can't help but remember Princess Kate's striking monochromatic look that could have easily inspired Queen Máxima here. The Princess of Wales, 42, was seen with her husband Prince William attending a ceremonial welcome, at the Horse Guards Parade, for the President and the First Lady of the Republic of Korea last November.
