The Dutch royal family came out in full force for the annual festival, which marks the birthday of King Willem-Alexander, and this year headed to the northeastern city of Emmen.

The king and queen were joined by their three daughters: Princess Ariane, 17, Princess Amalia, 20, and Princess Alexia, 18, all dressed in shades of green, blue and orange.

The family toured the city, collecting gifts of flowers and greeting spectators who had gathered to wish the royal family well on King’s Day.

She paired her outfit with a bold green butterfly headpiece and completed her King’s Day ensemble with a cream cardigan, matching gloves and simple heels.

The queen also wore a pair of pearl earrings and kept her makeup simple.

Her three daughters were equally elegant, and the eldest, and heir to the Dutch throne, also chose to wear green. Amalia opted for a blue-green tone, also with a floral print.

She wore a matching coat to protect herself from the cold weather and kept her blonde hair down and curled over her shoulders.

Her sister Alexia wore a white dress with a bright orange coat, while younger sister Ariane wore a three-piece suit in a similar rust color.

King Willem-Alexander was also dressed to impress in a deep blue suit and yellow tie.

The main festival takes place in Amsterdam, while Rotterdam hosts the second largest celebration. Smaller meetings are held throughout the country.

Yesterday, Queen Máxima attended the King’s Games in Hoofddorp, where it was a hit with the children.

The royals received a warm welcome from the primary school pupils, and seemed particularly excited to see Máxima, who high-fived them in their classrooms.

The mother of three was also photographed sitting at the lunch table with students as they dined on sandwiches, fruit and water in the school cafeteria.

Elsewhere, the King and Queen went outside to watch what appeared to be an exciting friendly football match.

For the event, the Argentine-born royal donned a pair of high-waisted chocolate brown culottes, which served to accentuate her shapely figure.

Maxima paired the look with a gray turtleneck and brown leather boots, while for the outdoors she opted for a long gray coat.

A pair of silver metal earrings were the perfect complement, although on this occasion she preferred to do without the bag.

For her hair, the royal’s luscious blonde locks were tied down and decorated with just a middle part.

Her makeup was equally subtle and striking, with a streak of black eyeliner and a pink lip to finish off the look.

Meanwhile, her husband, the King, looked dapper in a royal blue suit which he wore with a crisp white shirt and orange tie.

Her outfit was a bold statement of national pride as it represented the colors of the Netherlands flag while also being synonymous with King’s Day.
