Queen Maxima showed off a stylish array of outfits during a weekend of celebrations marking 200 years of the Kingdom of The Netherlands King Willem-Alexander.

Proceedings began on Saturday when Maxima and her husband King Willem-Alexander attended a re-enactment of the historic landing of Prince Willem Frederik, later King William I, in the coastal district of Scheveningen.

Maxima braved the sea winds in a chic beige overcoat and matching hat and protected herself against the cold with brown leather gloves and a mustard yellow scarf.

Willem-Alexander honoured the Dutch national colour with a vibrant orange handkerchief tucked into the pocket of his navy suit jacket.

The king and queen then headed to The Hague where they attended a service at Ridderzaal, the capital's 13th century parliamentary building.

For the occasion mother-of-three Maxima changed into a silk teal dress with flared sleeves.

The evening was a more glitzy affair. Joined by  Princess Beatrix, Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien, Maxima and Willem-Alexander walked the red carpet of the Circus Theatre.
