A queen is coming to town, and she wants to talk about flood control strategies.
Queen Maxima of the Netherlands listens in to San Francisco’s Mayor London Breed as they visit the Castro District in San Francisco, Calif., Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2022. Rafael Mandelman is the member of the Board of Supervisors representing District 8, which includes the Castro District.
King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, who had planned to join the Queen on this visit to the United States, remains at home, recovering from a recent bout of pneumonia. Manny Schoenhuber, an attorney in the Houston law firm Jackson Walker and member of the official delegation, noted that Queen Maxima’s visit comes as many European Union countries are looking to expand their economic ties with the United States, and Texas in particular, as the continent contends with high energy prices and political unrest.
“It was a great start to the trip-a lot of excitement, and really a lot of energy,” Schoenhuber said. “The queen is just a phenomenal person.”
