Elegant in a pistachio and nude dress, Queen Maxima of the Netherlands was every inch the royal style icon as she and husband King Willem-Alexander arrived in South Korea this morning. The visit comes after the North, led by Kim Jong Un, stepped up its sabre-rattling over the weekend following the launch of a refurbished Soviet nuclear submarine capable of striking Seoul. Despite the best efforts of dictator Mr Kim, the royal couple appeared undaunted and were welcomed by huge crowds waving Dutch and South Korean flags as they stepped off the plane.
