In the post, the Palace shared that Willem and Máxima had begun their visit in the historic center of Montfoort, after receiving a delightful welcome by Mayor Petra van Hartskamp.

“The regional visit starts in the historic centre of Montfoort. After being welcomed by Mayor Petra van Hartskamp, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima visit the oldest building in Montfoort: the Old Town Hall from 1375,” told the Royals in the caption.

They continued, “Here, the Royal Couple will speak with young people, seniors and a project leader about the housing shortage in Montfoort and the search for affordable and suitable housing.”

The Palace further stated, “Then, a look will be taken at a ready-made home from a company in Montfoort that specialises in sustainable and fast construction solutions. What is possible in the field of modern housing construction?”
