Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako are making a three-day state visit to the Netherlands at the invitation of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima. On June 17, 2026, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima officially welcomed Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako at Dam Square in Amsterdam. Afterwards, Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako laid a wreath at the National Monument in Dam Square.
In the evening, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima will host a state banquet at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam. Crown Princess Amalia, Princess Ariane, Princess Beatrix, Princess Margriet, and Princess Laurentien will also attend the state banquet, as will Professor Pieter van Vollenhoven.
For the first day of Japan’s state visit to the Netherlands, Queen Máxima wore a bespoke green midi dress with an asymmetrical hemline by the fashion house Natan. A vintage ready-to-wear fabric was used for the dress and was hand-painted by Pablo Piatti. Pablo Piatti is an Argentine artist who has been collaborating with the fashion house Natan for several seasons.
