On November 29, 2024, Dutch King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima, along with Princess Amalia, Princess Alexia, and Princess Ariane, attended the traditional photo session at the Begijnhof in Amsterdam. The session was held in honor of the city’s 750th anniversary celebration. The Begijnhof is one of the oldest hofjes in Amsterdam. A hofje (courtyard) refers to a courtyard surrounded by almshouses.

The Begijnhof is one of the oldest parts of Amsterdam, with a history spanning more than 600 years. It is a group of historic buildings, mostly private dwellings, centered around the courtyard. Hofjes have existed since the Middle Ages, providing housing for elderly people, primarily women. These courtyards were privately funded and served as an early form of social security. In the Netherlands there are still a number of hofjes in use.

  5. All coats are oversized. I like the color and the coat of Ariane. I don't like Alexia's coat and look at all. Máxima's look is bold, but all that white and those kilometers of fabrics don't please me. Well, it's Natan. The best dressed is Amalia.

  6. Charmantes photos de toute la famille ; les princesses forment une magnifique fratrie, chacune avec son propre style - Je n'oublie pas leur adorable toutou ; chaque fois que je le vois, je craque !

  7. Oddly, i like Amalia outfit the most. Its just natural and not fussy. Her sisters seem to be dressing like old rich ladies still. Maxima is brave for wearing white with a very excited dog jumping up. She would have looked better in narrower trousers too but seems to favour them. Km

  8. J'adore les Gants de cuir de Sa Majesté la Reine, mais aussi Leurs Altesses Royales Bottées de cuir. Et particulièrement, les très belles Bottes de Son Altesse Royale Princesse Ariane des Pays-Bas, qui font très "style jolie Madame".
