King Willem-Alexander looked nearly unrecognizable on Friday as he was photographed volunteering at the Oranje Fonds organization.
The charity holds a special place in the hearts of the royal couple, as it was a wedding gift from the Dutch people. In snapshots from the event, the King and Queen Máxima blended seamlessly with fellow volunteers, dressed in branded T-shirts and gilets adorned with the organization’s signature orange logo.
The official Instagram account of the Dutch royals shared a video from their day, captioning it: *”Today and tomorrow, together with thousands of social organizations across the country, the Oranje Fonds is organizing NLdoet once again—the largest volunteer event in the Netherlands.
King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima are lending a hand at a community center in Katwijk, helping to create a mosaic wall. Tomorrow, Princess Beatrix will take part in activities at a play library and playground.”*
Royal fans were thrilled by the update, flooding the comments with praise. One admirer wrote, “Such a great example of social contribution to the world.” Another added, “So nice that they were there! What a fantastic morning—it was such an honor to have them visit!”
What is the Oranje Fonds?
The Oranje Fonds is dedicated to combating loneliness and fostering an inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to participate. According to its official website, the charity supports initiatives aimed at helping those affected by poverty, social exclusion, and lack of opportunities. This includes community projects, mentorship programs for struggling students, and language courses for newcomers to the Netherlands.
The King and Queen’s visit to their cherished wedding gift comes shortly after the announcement that their love story will be featured in the second season of Máxima on Videoland.
Last month, Mill Street Films released a promotional image from the upcoming series, showing actors Delfina Chaves and Martijn Lakemeier portraying Queen Máxima and King Willem-Alexander as they prepare to exchange vows at the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam.
