Atlanta is set to welcome royal guests from the Netherlands on Monday, when His Majesty King Willem-Alexander and Her Majesty Queen Máxima start their tour of the United States in Georgia. The Dutch monarchs, accompanied by a delegation of Dutch CEOs, are scheduled for a series of engagements that include meeting Governor Brian Kemp and Mayor Andre Dickens, as well as visiting significant landmarks and institutions throughout the city.

The visit will commence at the Georgia Capitol where the royal couple will be officially welcomed. Their agenda includes a stop at the King Center, where they will lay a wreath at the gravesite of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife Coretta Scott King, according to FOX 5 Atlanta. They are also set to engage with the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, which holds particular significance due to its connection with Dr. King's legacy.

According to a release by WSB-TV, the royal couple's tour will take them down the Atlanta BeltLine with Mayor Dickens, opening discussions on affordable housing – a pressing issue in the expanding cityscape of Atlanta. Their afternoon is slated to be a dive into the city's rich cultural tapestry with a visit to Patchwerk Recording Studios, a site resonant with the sounds of icons such as OutKast and Beyoncé.

Following culture is commerce, and business brings the royals to the Atlanta headquarters of NewCold, a Dutch cold-storage warehouse company. In what appears to be a tightly packed schedule, their itinerary also includes an important visit to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to exchange ideas on combating global health threats such as malaria. The royal visit is expected to conclude with a tour of the "Dutch Art in the Global Age" exhibition at the High Museum, followed by a reception, as reported by FOX 5 Atlanta.

Atlanta isn't the sole Georgian city on the royal couple's radar; they will also be making a stop in Savannah before proceeding to New York to continue what is a multi-city tour of the United States. This royal visit illustrates a blend of diplomatic engagement, cultural exchange, and business networking, reflecting the diverse and multifaceted ties that span between the Netherlands and the United States.
