Here’s what the Dutch royal family look like now

They’re just a quirky, relatable family 🤪

The Dutch royal family is serving elegance, class and — a hint of redundancy? — in their latest photoshoot. 

The Rijksvoorlichtingsdienst (Government Information Service) has graciously blessed the commoners’ eyes yet again with their bi-annual photoshoot of our most beloved family. 

In honour of Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary celebration, the photos were held in the 600-year-old Begijnhof courtyard. 

Queen Maxima and King Willem-Alexander. The royal couple in all their glory.
