Trying local sports and traditions

The family explored demonstrations of Frisian sports — kaatsen and fierljeppen — plus sailing and dance. The king tried handball with Máxima, boarded a sailboat to watch the action, and the royals collected stamps for the Frisian Eleven Cities Tour while some laced up to skate on the ice.

Cozy behind‑the‑scenes moments

A Royal House video showed Máxima decorating cookies, the king trying a farming simulator and the daughters visiting Innovation Square. Heir Catharina‑Amalia, who is studying at college, has said she does not yet feel ready to rule and would rely on her mother if circumstances required.
