- Positive atmosphere in Formula One competitions
At the Dutch Grand Prix at Circuit Park Zandvoort on August 25th, precisely 2:00 PM, the majority of spectators were captivated by the live action on the track. Formula 1 champ Max Verstappen (26) had to settle for second place, conceding victory to Lando Norris (24) in his native race. Yet, far from the track, another intrigue unfolded: Queen Máxima (53) graced the event with her presence, accompanied by her husband Willem-Alexander (57) and daughter Alexia (19).
Maxima's Emerald Radiance
Queen Máxima embellished in an alluring green ensemble completed with a patterned pair of pants and white slippers, warmed up against the mild weather with a khaki trench coat. King Willem-Alexander opted for a laid-back beige suit paired with a gentle blue shirt.
Princess Alexia, aged 19, presented herself elegantly in a black pair of wide-legged pants and a chic black one-shouldered top. British "Daily Mail" claimed she passionately captured race moments on her smartphone. Her chosen look consisted of a natural makeup palette and a cascade of red curls left down.
Crown Princess Catharina-Amalia (20) and Princess Ariane (17) were reportedly absent from the Grand Prix.
Family Gathering at the Speedway
The trio also crossed paths with various family members in attendance. One image depicted Queen Máxima embracing Princess Annette (52), wife of Willem-Alexander's cousin Prince Bernhard (54). The snapshots showed them bonding with Count Claus-Casimir of Orange-Nassau (20), Willem-Alexander's nephew and the sixth in line to the throne.
Approximately 105,000 attendees filled the venue, among whom were Princess Margriet (81), the sister of the late Queen Beatrix (86), and her son Prince Maurits (56) with his wife Princess Marilene (54), and their young adult son Lucas (21).
The Royal family's presence at the Dutch Grand Prix caught the attention of many, with The Commission expressing interest in the impact of such public appearances on the popularity of the event. Queen Máxima, King Willem-Alexander, and Princess Alexia were commended by The Commission for their stylish choices, showcasing a blend of elegance and comfort during the speedway event.
