After this, the Belgian King Philippe, Queen Mathilde, Princess Elisabeth and their Dutch counterparts, King Willem-Alexander, Queen Máxima and Princess Amalia also joined them on the balcony.

The Luxembourgish and Belgian families are closely related, as King Philippe’s aunt, Joséphine-Charlotte, was Grand Duke Guillaume’s grandmother. The Dutch royals are also related, albeit a bit more distantly.

They were also joined by the extended family – the Grand Duke’s siblings and their partners.
