Dutch royals pose for the photo – but your dog has to pee
December 1, 2024: Dog of Willem-Alexander and Máxima blows out photo shoot
Every year the Dutch Royals meet with the press to pose for the official Christmas photos. At the recent photo shoot in the Amsterdam Beginenhof there was a fun breakdown. While King Willem-Alexander, his wife Queen Máxima and the three daughters lined up neatly, family dog Mambo was careful of the line. The cream-white Doodle mixing breed apparently urgently had to pee-and relieved the closest tree. This also ensured a warm laugh at the royal family, Crown Princess Amalia even hit a hand in front of his face. In addition to the amusing snapshot, many reputable images may have been taken.
