On Tuesday, the Dutch king and queen began a state visit to Britain that will include full ceremonial honours and a gala banquet.
King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands were welcomed by Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Pavilion at Horse Guards in central London.
According to Channel 24, the king kissed Elizabeth on both cheeks and clasped her hands when they met, as did Maxima.
On Tuesday evening, the queen has planned a state dinner for her guests at Buckingham Palace.
It is not clear if she will be joined by her husband Prince Philip who has largely retired from public life.
It is the third time the queen has hosted the Dutch royal family for a state visit, the most recent being in 1982.
