No, there aren't. The photo of them kissing was the first time, when Victoria and Daniel were photographed together, on 11th July 2002 at Caroline Kreuger's 25th birthday party. They didn't arrive together to the party and when the party started and they knew there were photographers, they weren't together. First photos of Daniel were published on 30th May 2002 when Expressen told that he was Victoria's boyfriend. On 28th July 2002 Victoria and Daniel were photographed when they were leaving Ekerum Golf Club on Öland.

Looks like the birthday party was Hawaii themed. If after them being spotted together they first went out in public, it might have been a good thing in some way as well as they no longer needed to hide.

Willem-Alexander and Maxima:

Are you sure this is the earliest picture. I had to refresh my memory but the first time the Netherlands learned about her existence was in late August 1999 when she attended a wedding with Willem-Alexander but in a black dress - not a pink one like in this picture.

The first paparazzi pictures were made by Smulders in New York, see here.

This photo will have been taken when they met.

It states 'chances are' that this undated picture was taken when they met, so apparently, they aren't sure about it.

This is what it looks like in the Caseta, so that also makes me doubt that the picture was taken in Sevilla.

I did not even know that the royal couple met at the Olympics, I was always wondering where they met, thank you for the information
