The king and queen of the Netherlands embarked on the second day of their U.S. tour with a visit to Savannah, Georgia, a city rich in history and a key player in global trade. King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima were warmly welcomed by Mayor Van Johnson at Savannah's City Hall, where they engaged in a roundtable discussion with city officials and Dutch dignitaries.
Savannah, founded in 1733 by British colonists, showcased its historic preservation efforts to the royal couple. The visit included interactions with local academics and students at Savannah State University, the state's oldest historically Black public college.
