Queen Maxima stole the show on Sunday as she arrived at Zandvoort Circuit for a day at the Dutch Grand Prix. However, the Argentinian-born Dutch queen wasn't the only royal in attendance as she accompanied her husband, King Willem-Alexander, and was joined by her three daughters, Crown Princess Catharina-Amalia, 21, Princess Alexia, 20, and Princess Ariane, 18. The family of five enjoyed a rare day out amid Princess Alexia's studies at UCL in London.

Queen Maxima led the stylish royal family, donning a tiered cream and peach tiered skirt with a cinched waist and asymmetrical dropped hem skirt. She styled the statement piece with a plain tee and cardigan, as well as heeled mules, a tangerine suede bag, layered bracelets, and statement leaf earrings. Meanwhile, the Dutch heir Catharina-Amalia led her stylish sisters in a longline tan suede jacket, green Adidas 'Gazelle' trainers, and a black waistcoat co-ord.

The youngest of the three royal sisters, Ariane, also opted for Adidas trainers. Her burgundy 'Sambas' were paired with dark-wash jeans and a loose-fit cotton striped shirt. Meanwhile, Princess Alexia went for something a little more formal. She rocked a printed mini skirt and a brown blazer with knee-high boots. The daughters of the King and Queen of the Netherlands weren't the only royals in attendance as the King's cousin, Prince Maurits of the Netherlands, and his son Lucas also made an appearance, as did the King's cousin, Prince Pieter-Christiaan of the Netherlands, and Princess Margriet.

The last time Willem-Alexander and Maxima's daughters were seen together was in June when they posed for the media during the summer photo session at Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague. Catharina-Amalia led the trio in a green blouse and white trousers, while Alexia also went for green in the form of a block-colour sundress. Ariane switched it up in a striped co-ord.

Before this, the two eldest daughters joined their mother at Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, and Princess Alexia of the Netherlands to celebrate King's Day on 26 April. Their mother has long been showing the royal trio how it's done, but that doesn't mean Maxima isn't learning from them.

Maxima shares a close bond with her daughters

In an exclusive interview with HELLO!'s sister title ¡HOLA! in 2024, Maxima was asked if she learns from her eldest, who graduated from the University of Amsterdam with a degree in politics, psychology, law, and economics in July 2025. "Do I learn from her? Yes, it is always useful to learn from younger people, because they have a completely different perspective. So absolutely – I learn from everyone I meet, including my daughters," the royal said.
