King Willem Alexander and Queen Máxima took part in the National Remembrance ceremony held at the National Monument on Dam Square in Amsterdam today. Queen Máxima repeated her black felt rounded pillbox hat with flat bow at the back.
Princess Margriet, Pieter van Vollenhoven and Prince Pieter-Christiaan attended a similar ceremony at the Military War Cemetery Grebbeberg near Rhenen. Princess Margriet repeated her wide brimmed black straw hat trimmed with a simple black hatband and what looks to be large, almost abstract straw leaves on the side. The hat has undergone a renovation since its first outing, when the trim also included black feathers.
