That is a warm embracement. Annejet van der Zijl has written two (acclaimed) biographies linked to the Oranges, not always flattering for the royal family:

The American Princess, about "aunt Allene" formerly Mrs Theodore R. Hostetter, formerly Mrs Morton Colton Nichols, formerly Mrs Anson Wood Burchard, formerly Prinzessin Heinrich XXXIII Reuss zu Köstritz, formerly comtesse Pavel Pavlovitch de Kotzebue, aunt (by marriage) to Prince Bernhard and godmother to Princess Beatrix:

It's wonderful to see how committed she remains to the topic of literacy. She's been participating in this event that encourages adults to read to young children for years... According to royalblog, the campaign is celebrating it's 20 year anniversary and if I'm not mistaken she participated from the start.
