Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia put on a glamorous display at the Paris Olympics today, becoming the latest European royals to attend the event, alongside King Willem-Alexander and his family.

Princess Leonor, 18, and her younger sister Infanta Sofia of Spain, 17, were pictured smiling and chatting as they watched a game of beach volleyball.

The pair seemed engrossed in the game as they cheered enthusiastically from the stands at the Eiffel Tower Stadium.

The royal duo sat next to Alejandro Blanco, president of the Spanish Olympic Committee, who was wearing a red and yellow shirt in support of his country.

Leonor, heir to the Spanish throne, was photographed wearing a navy blue polo shirt with the colours of her country’s flag around the hem of the sleeves.

She paired it with white pants and her pink Paris Olympics lace and gold earrings.

Sofia sported a simple yet chic ensemble consisting of a white polo shirt and a pair of modern light wash denim jeans.

The couple looked chic as they opted to wear their brown hair down and wear natural, bright makeup.

The Dutch royal family was also present, but chose to watch the women’s volleyball preliminary round match between Turkey and the Netherlands.

They came out in full force, all sporting at least one bright orange garment to show their love for their country at the Arena du Sud in Paris.

King Willem-Alexander, 57, was pictured wearing a cap from Dutch team Fila along with a matching jacket, a white polo shirt and grey trousers.

His wife, Queen Máxima, 53, looked sophisticated in a camel-brown ensemble consisting of a pencil skirt and blazer.

She got into the spirit of the game by wrapping an orange scarf around her shoulders, a look similar to the ensemble Princess Amalia sported yesterday.

Amalia, heir to the Dutch throne, opted for dark jeans, a tangerine-coloured jacket and a blue top.

Her younger sister, Princess Alexia, 19, wore a white baseball-style jacket embroidered with the Dutch flag on the side.

She put on black pants and stacked gold jewelry on top of each other to add a little more style to her look.

She was pictured taking photos of the event on her mobile phone, while openly chewing gum as she was engrossed in the 100m breaststroke final yesterday.

A photo of the teenager – the second of three daughters Máxima shares with her husband King Willem-Alexander – shows her tongue poking out of her mouth, with her gum clearly visible.

Meanwhile, a couple of seats away, the Queen can be seen watching the young royal, appearing to have a look of annoyance on her face.

She was also accompanied by her daughter Catherine Amalia, Princess of Orange, 20, as well as King Willem-Alexander. Her youngest daughter, Princess Ariane, 17, does not appear to have taken up the engagement.

Although her expression seemed annoyed, the rest of the royal’s look was flawless as always, as the Queen wore a striking printed dress with a host of bright colors.

Their swimming appearance is not the only event that Dutch royals have attended.

Queen Máxima and her husband King Willem-Alexander, 57, watched their country compete in the mountain bike cross-country final on Sunday.

Dutch runner Pieterse Puck came in fourth with a time of 1:29:25, losing by just a few minutes to the United States, Sweden and France, who took gold with Ferrand Prevot Pauline.

Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg, Queen Mathilde and King Philippe of Belgium also attended previous events at this year’s Olympic Games.
