Princess Catharina-Amalia marked another momentous milestone as she took part in her first-ever state visit.
The 20-year-old heir to the throne, who recently returned to the Netherlands after enduring a terrifying stalking ordeal, joined her parents King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima, as they hosted King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain for a state banquet at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam on Wednesday.
It was the fourth tiara moment for Catharina-Amalia, who looked beautiful in the Ruby Peacock parure, which is made up of a stunning tiara, matching necklace and earrings. Her blonde hair was styled in a neat bun and her makeup was fresh and natural.
