Queen Maxima of the Netherlands dazzles in all-white in the Dutch royal family's summer portrait - but their poodle Mambo has stolen the show yet again.
The Queen, 53, beamed alongside her husbandKing Willem-Alexander, 57,as they posed with their three daughters, Princesses Catharina-Amalia, 20, Alexia, 19, and Ariane, 17, in pictures taken for their annual summer portrait.
While the mother-of-three embodied elegance in a white jacket and trousers, it was her photogenic daughters who stole the show - as well as their adorable pet dog, Mambo.
In the photos, taken at Huis ten Bosch Palace in the Hague, the young royals appeared self-assured while radiating an undeniable glow. The three sisters smiled intently as they all posed together for the camera.
And in an apparent nod to their mother's chic style, the princesses adopted stylish ensembles which were also apt for the sunny weather.

The photos weretaken at Huis ten Bosch Palace in the Hague against scenic greenery
Princess Alexia posed up a storm in a tan blazer and a co-ordinating striped knit dress, while Princess Ariane and Princess Amalia mirrored their mother's wardrobe in a white linen dress and a cream trouser co-ord respectively.
For their hair, the ladies opted for bouncy volume and let their golden brown locks fall casually around their faces.
Maxima, typically known for her outstanding sense of style, donned a smart-casual look consisting of a white box-fit jacket and matching shirt.
She teamed the look with a pair of smart trousers and white extravagant earrings. Her blonde tresses were decorated with a side part and fell neatly to her face.
Turning up the glamour a notch, she chose her trademark eyeliner and mascara, a dash of bronzer and a pink lip.
Meanwhile her husband King Willem Alexander went for a total contrast in a navy blue suit, blue checked shirt and black leather belt.
The portraits captured the tight-knit family in their happiest of elements as they appeared to have a joyful time amidst the scenic greenery.

But while the royal family pulled out the fashion stops for the shoot, their pet dog Mambo needed no glitz to steal the show.
In one image, the sweet pup can be seen cradled tightly byPrincess Amalia, while in another, the Queen took hold of her beloved pet.
The family adopted Mambo in 2021, and he has seen been an integral member of their life.
The Dutch royals are also the proud owners of three Labradors named Skipper, Luna and Nala.
It's been a busy week for the King and Queen whohosted a glitzy reception for the Diplomatic Corps at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam yesterday.
Dressing stylishly for the special occasion, Queen Máxima stunned in an eye-catching full-length fuchsia gown, with long sleeves and a knee high split.
Every year, the royal couple treat international representatives working towards the Netherlands' diplomatic mission with the lavish event.

Although a familial affair for the Dutch royals, paparazzi appeared to loom nearby
The guests, who numbered an estimated 250, and included some 60 entrepreneurs among them, were treated to fine dining and regal entertainment during the evening.
The Queen paired her frock with the famous ruby peaco*ck tiara. Boasting diamonds and a central design element that looks like a peaco*ck's tail, the stunning piece was reportedly created in 1897 by Schürmann during the reign of Queen Wilhelmina.
The rubies in her sparkling tiara coordinated perfectly with the hue of her vibrant frock.
Mother-of-three Máxima paired the headpiece with a matching necklace, which was made in 1897 alongside the tiara.
The Dutch Queen sported a glamourous makeup look for the occasion, wearing eyeliner that was dark in tone, but applied with a light hand, a dewy, clear base, peach blush, and a natural pink lip.
She wore her blonde locks styled into an elaborate up do, featuring a large bun pinned at the nape of her neck, which allowed her jewellery the space to shine.
Meanwhile, Willem-Alexander wore a black tailcoat as well as his royal honours and his Prince of Orange sash for the occasion.
