On Monday, the Dutch royal, and her husband King Willem-Alexander hosted a reception and lunch for Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and his wife Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad Al Thani at Noordeinde Castle.

During their visit, the royal couple will hold meetings with Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte and the presidents of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
