The Dutch royal family were out in full force on Saturday for King Willem-Alexander's 57th birthday, and Crown Princess Catharina-Amalia shared a sweet moment with her father while out in the crowds.
As they met members of the public in Emmen, a town in the north-east of the country, Catharina-Amalia rested her head on her father's shoulders, prompting him to grin. The monarch extended the courtesy to his daughter, wrapping his arm around her as they walked away.

The heir to the Dutch throne really got into the festivities as she was joined by members of her extended family, including Prince Pieter-Christiaan, Princess Laurentien and Prince Maurita. The royals were seen on a judging panel with a pair of plush sheep.

Meanwhile, the King's other daughters looked radiant in brighter colours, with Alexia opting for a bold red coat over a white dress, while Ariane wore a cooler version of her older sister's.

Earlier in the month, Catharina-Amalia joined her parents as they met members of the Spanish royal family during an evening reception at Museum STRAAT in Amsterdam.

King Willem-Alexander paid tribute to King Felipe and Queen Letizia during a short speech, saying: "Your visit did justice to the excellent and close relations between our two countries. Once again we have established how much we have in common as European partners.
