Queen Máxima was already busy cleaning out stables for NLdoet last Saturday, but she didn’t sit still yesterday either. The royal family announced on social media that the queen received more information about embroidery, so that she can help make the new curtains for the Chinese hall.
The TextielMuseum started making the new curtains earlier this year. The historic curtains, which are currently hanging in the Chinese hall of Huis ten Bosch, need to be replaced. They are too fragile for everyday use, the royal family said.
The design for the new curtains is worked out on a high-tech embroidery machine and then the embroidery is added manually. But Queen Máxima is not the only one who embroiders the new curtains. More than a hundred craft enthusiasts roll up their sleeves to help her.

The result can be seen this autumn, together with the historic curtains, in an exhibition in the TextielMuseum in Tilburg.
Interior is not Queen Máxima’s only love, after all, she is not called the fashion queen for nothing. Princess Amalia, for example, said in her book that she likes to leave the styling of her outfits to her mother.
