Princess Ariane of the Netherlands recently celebrated her 18th birthday on April 10. In honor of this milestone, four official portraits were released, showcasing her in stunning royal attire.<\/p>\n
Like her older sisters, Catharina-Amalia and Alexia, Princess Ariane posed for photographer Frank Ruitter to mark her coming of age. The daughter of Queen Maxima and King Willem-Alexander dazzled in a red Self-Portrait dress and another equally charming outfit that suited her perfectly. She wore a magnificent midi dress in light green, crafted from linen and cotton by Brazilian brand Farm Rio. The dress featured a collar, long sleeves, and beautiful broderie anglaise details, emphasizing its refined elegance. Standing third in line to the Dutch throne, she exuded a fairy-tale princess grace.<\/p>\n
To complement her romantic dress, Princess Ariane chose simplicity in her accessories, opting for a single item. She wore hanging earrings that once belonged to her great-grandmother. These earrings, a legacy from Queen Juliana of the Netherlands, were highlighted beautifully in the photographs thanks to a hairstyle that framed her radiant face.<\/p>\n
It’s worth noting that the aquamarine stone of the earrings matched the color of her dress perfectly. The youngest daughter of the Dutch royal couple thus paid a lovely tribute to the former queen, who ruled the country until her abdication in 1980.<\/p>\n\n\n
