Princess Ariane and the royal family shine during Prinsjesdag 2026
On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, the annual Prinsjesdag (Prince's Day) took place in The Hague. This is an important day for Dutch politics, on which the King delivers the Speech from the Throne. In addition to the political message, there is also a great deal of attention paid to the royal family and their appearance at the Ridderzaal.
Princess Ariane was present again this year. She drew a lot of attention with her stylish outfit. Notably, she had partially coordinated her choice of clothing with her older sister, Princess Alexia. While Alexia opted for subtle burgundy accessories, Ariane decided to go for a full look in that same warm color.
The presence of the princesses during this day is appreciated by many Dutch people. It is a moment when the new generation of the royal house shows itself to the public. The fashion choices of the princesses are discussed extensively every year in the media and by fashion experts.
Prinsjesdag remains one of the most-watched events in the Netherlands. In addition to the ceremonial aspects, the day is also the official start of the new parliamentary year. The royal family once again played a central role in the proceedings of the day.
