Resplendent in a chic burgundy coat and a killer spiky necklace, Queen Maxima of the Netherlands was on top fashionable form as she stepped out in The Hague today. But for once, she had competition, which arrived in the form of the ever-fashionable Queen Letizia of Spain, who with her husband King Felipe, landed in the Dutch capital Amsterdam this morning to begin a tour of the Netherlands. Letizia and Maxima didn't have it all their own way, however, and were run close in the style stakes by their dapper husbands, with King Felipe cutting a particularly dashing figure in his pinstriped suit.
