The Dutch royal family met for the summer shoot. This time there was also a hairy royal: Poodle Mambo.
The Dutch The royal family has completed their annual summer shoot again.
This time King Willem-Alexander (56), Queen Máxima (52) and their three daughters went to the beach in The Hague. There, under a bright blue sky, various positions and combinations were posed for the cameras. Also on Instagram the new photos were published. And obviously leave an impression. One comment is something like: “Why do you look like the cast of a Netflix series? You are so cool Oranges.”
The summer shoot has now become a tradition. The royals provide the public with harmonious family pictures that are still elegant, but still appear more relaxed than other public photo opportunities. A formal, loving family on summer vacation, so to speak. That’s where the royal family usually says goodbye after the shoot – this time it’s said to be going back to their property in Greece.
Surprise guest: Poodle Mambo
For the pictures, the family posed in front of the windy sea, on a wooden staircase, crouching in the sand or with a lighthouse in the background. The outfits were subtly coordinated. White and blue dominated the color palette, the daughters provided some variety: Princess Amalia (19) wore a pale yellow blazer, Princess Ariane (16) a dark green blouse and Princess Alexia (18) casual silk pants.
A very hairy family member had a special appearance at this year’s photo shoot: Poodle Mambo. He sneaks to the family in some pictures and was also kidded by Queen Máxima. The other dogs in the family – three Labradors – are not to be seen.
