The mother-of-three brightened up her outfit with an orange scarf, proudly sporting the Netherlands' national colour, while Willem-Alexander matched his wife in an orange waterproof jacket.
The couple, who are parents to three girls Catharina-Amalia, Alexia and Ariane, looked loved-up as they shared a tender moment from the side and affectionately gazed at each other.
The reigning monarchs were joined by the Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte and IOC member and CEO of Dutch airline KLM Camiel Eurlings. The group looked to be enjoying each other's company, as they were pictured laughing at something on Máxima's phone.
Earlier in the day, Willem-Alexander and Máxima were spotted cycling together on orange bicycles around the Olympic village, where they picked up some souvenirs.

The family-of-five were pictured on the edge of their seats during one women's swimming relay and spurred the athletes on to silver. In recognition of Máxima's display of passion, the swimmers threw her their bouquet from the podium.
