On Saturday, one of the largest festivals in the Netherlands took place: King’s Day. It’s a special day for the royal family, as they naturally participate in the celebrations, visit the public, and show themselves to be very approachable. Crown Princess Amalia especially surprised everyone with an extraordinary outfit.
King’s Day is celebrated in honor of the reigning King Willem-Alexander on April 27, his birthday. However, if the day falls on a Sunday, the celebrations are moved up. This was the case last Saturday. The royal family visited the municipality of Doetinchem, among others, and celebrated with the public. Queen Máxima even indulged in a spontaneous table tennis match. Everyone dressed up for the occasion, but Princess Amalia stood out in her dress.
Princess Ariane Was Absent on King’s Day
King Willem-Alexander, Queen Máxima, Princess Amalia, and Princess Alexia appeared in high spirits at King’s Day, celebrating the king’s 58th birthday with the Dutch people present. Princess Ariane, the youngest of the three sisters, was absent on Saturday as she is currently preparing for her final exams at the United World College Adriatic.
Whether planned or not, the entire family chose outfits in different shades of blue for the celebrations. Princess Amalia stood out, wearing a short dress with a cape, once again demonstrating her keen sense of fashion.
Princess Amalia’s Dress Stood Out
Without a doubt, Princess Amalia was the eye-catcher at King’s Day last Saturday. She wore the “Petra Cape Georgette Cocktail Dress” by Ralph Lauren, priced at around 280 euros. The high-necked cocktail dress features an attached cape and ends about a hand’s width above the knees. Amalia rarely appears in such short dresses.
She paired it with metallic strappy heels by Stuart Weitzman, subtle jewelry, and a white handbag with metal straps. The special thing about the bag: it was a very affordable model from the Spanish brand Mango.

Princess Alexia Prefers a Casual Style
While Princess Amalia surprised in a short dress, her younger sister Alexia opted for a more casual look with a midi-length circle skirt, a white top, and a rugged leather jacket casually draped over her shoulders. She paired it with burgundy accessories, a burgundy handbag, and matching ballerinas with ankle straps and flat heels.
