On the facade of Castro’s stage was the text “A warm welcome to another queen to Castro!” to read. Castro streets are decorated with rainbow flags. Upon their arrival in Castro, Maxima was greeted by dozens of neighborhood residents, many of whom were carrying the Dutch flag.
Dressed in a pink outfit, Maxima took a short time to greet the waiting fans. Many people called out to her to wish her a speedy recovery to King Willem-Alexander.
