Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako are paying a state visit to the Netherlands. On 13 June 2026, the Emperor and Empress arrived at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. Although the official welcoming ceremony will take place on 17 June at Dam Square in Amsterdam, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima met with Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako ahead of the ceremony.
King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima, together with Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, watched in the Netherlands as the ‘Orange Lions’ and ‘Samurai Blue’ faced off in Dallas in their opening group-stage match of the FIFA World Cup.




Very nice to see all of them so relaxed. I'll trust they'll enjoy each other's company these days before the official state visit(s) start
ReplyDeleteC’est un vrai plaisir de voir les deux couples rayonnants ; par simple curiosité, est-ce que c'est le Japon qui a gagné le match de foot ?
ReplyDeleteYou can see how much they like each other, they all look so genuinely happy. These happy looks are the best fashion accessory one can have! (The game ended in the most diplomatic way too: 2-2.)
