The Royal Palace on Dam Square provided the backdrop for a festive state banquet on Wednesday evening in honor of Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako of Japan. During the traditional press moment, much attention was paid to Princess Ariane, who wore a tiara in public for the first time. This is special, because tiaras within the royal family are usually reserved for adult members of the royal family and are only worn during the most formal occasions, such as state banquets. The three-day state visit focuses on the age-old relationship between the Netherlands and Japan, which now dates back more than four centuries.
