On July 16, 2021, Queen Maxima, King Willem-Alexander, Princess Amalia, Princess Alexia and Princess Ariane posed for the media during the annual summer photo session at Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague. Traditionally, Dutch royals pose for the media once in the summer and again at the beginning of their skiing holiday, and in return, the media respects their privacy outside of royal engagements.
