Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands made an appearance in her grandmother Princess Beatrix’s new birthday portraits. King Willem-Alexander’s mother turned 85 on Tuesday, Jan. 31. To mark the occasion, the Dutch Royal House released new photos of the former Queen with her son and the Princess of Orange.
