Dutch Royal Family

The Dutch Royal Family, officially known as the House of Orange-Nassau, is the monarchy of the Netherlands. Its current head is King Willem-Alexander, who ascended the throne in 2013 after his mother, Queen Beatrix, abdicated. The royal family plays a ceremonial role in Dutch society and represents the country abroad. Members participate in various charitable activities and national celebrations, such as King's Day. The monarchy is a constitutional institution, meaning its powers are limited by the constitution, and its primary function is to be a symbol of unity and continuity for the Dutch people.
