The ring that the queen was wearing during this photo session received some attention in the press. A few weeks ago the Queen visited the town of Culemborg. A member of the public bought the ring as a present for the queen and handed it over to an aide. Quite to her surprise a few weeks later the queen wore that very same ring during this photo session.
The ring is of a Dutch label called IXXXI and has the colors of the Dutch flag.

The ring is so sweet and the Queen's gesture is the sweetest too.

Is it wise to group so many photographers together? I hope all the photographers will be wearing face masks.

It's been decided to group the media folks to avoid a crush of people: For the family photos the photographers are allowed to stand in the first row, the cameramen/women are asked to stand behind them and the reporters will stand in the final row.
For the traditional interview with the King and Queen afterwards a single camera has been chosen and the reporters can pose their question(s) in a row.

Nice photo of dad and daughter. 
Surely the photographers brought tele-lenses with them? Otherwise we will have to contend ourselves with satellite-photos this year.

I'm normally a fan of the Dutch summer photos but I just don't like this years session.

Yes, good photos. Charming family.
It's funny how the facial features of the siblings are so different. You'd be forgiven for thinking they are not related.
Usually I'd say out of three siblings at least two will look very much alike, but here all three look different from each other.

I was thinking the same Muhler, the three sisters don't resemble each other much - if at all. The same could be said about their paternal grandmother & sisters.
The garden looks lovely and nice that the family coordinated the colours they used.
Rick Evers reported the following on twitter:
Apparently the government airplane with the RF has left Schiphol airport just a few hours after the photo session, so the family has started their vacation.
The King said that Pss Amalia may take a gap year after she is done with her secundary school. Becasue she skipped a year when she was little she may use it than.
About the tiktok videos the Queen understandably said that the girls have to learn how to deal with social media themselves. She added that the princesses themselves also feel embarrassed by it.
The queen said that her mother Carmen was in The Hague while the king and queen were in Indonesia, to take care of the princesses. After that Mrs. Zorreguieta was forced to go in lockdown with the family. The Queen added that it was valuable time together and her mother was unsure how she would have coped being in lockdown on her own in Buenos Aires.
The King said that the restoration Golden Carriage is going well. The carriage will be restored how it was (with colonial depictions on it). Afterwards we will see what will happen.

I do agree with you Muhler
I think it's because Amalia takes after Beatrix, Alexia is a Maxima mini me, and Ariane looks so much like her father (look at the smile, she is WA mini me).
I also think that Frederik and Mary's children look very different from each other. The same with Leonor and Sofia of Spain. Ingrid Alexandra and Sverre Magnus are another example of totally different-looking siblings.
I think from all the royal houses, Estelle and Oscar are the siblings who resemble each other the most (they looked like twins as babies). I think Elisabeth and Emmanuel (and perhaps Eleonore too) look like siblings too.

Lovely photos, and I agree with the rest, they look o different one from the other , Alexa has the model looks, with that sophisticate face and charm, Ariana is incredible cute and I love her dress, Amalia has a beautiful face and hair, I do not like her choice of clothing I do not think favour her in anyway. They look a beautiful family

Great photos; it's clear that the family are very close to one another. I agree that Alexia looks more like Maxima whilst Amalia looks like WA; and Ariane looks like a mixture of the two - but with more features from WA's side of the family, IMO. Amalia is very tall - she seems to be the same height as WA.
