Queen Máxima is elegant in black coat dress as she attends Remembrance Service in Amsterdam

Queen Máxima of the Netherlands looked effortlessly elegant as she attended a Remembrance service in Amsterdam with King Willem-Alexander this evening.

The European monarch, 51, donned a knee-length black coat dress for the poignant engagement at Dam Square.

The mother-of-three swept her blonde hair into a chic up-do and wore a statement black velvet headband with embroidery on one side.

The royal also donned a sheer pair of tights and finished off her ensemble with some black velvet heels with a leather toe. 

Although her outfit was understated for the occasion, Máxima pulled her look together with some statement jewellery. 

The stylish royal wore a diamond-and-pearl brooch on her coat dress – which perfectly matched her stud earrings.

On her wrists, the Queen donned some chunky silver chained bracelets which were studded with diamonds.

Meanwhile, King Willem-Alexander, 56, was suitably smart in a grey suit with a white pocket square.

As they arrived for the ceremony at the historic square, the Queen happily waved to the crowds.

This evening, the royals are attending the annual Remembrance Day ceremony – which honours soldiers who have died in combat since the Second World War.

The service began with Máxima and Willem-Alexander walking through a guard of honour – which is made up of members of the military and war veterans.

This evening’s service included a two-minute silence at 8pm.

After this, the attendants sung the first verse of the national anthem before listening to a memorial poem.

Survivors of the war are then invited to lay five wreaths at the square’s memorial, which represent different groups who sacrificed their lives.

The annual service ends with schoolchildren – representing the number of years the country has lived in peace – laying flowers on the memorial.

The royal couple have attended the Remembrance Service every year since 2013.

Tomorrow, Máxima and Willem-Alexander will attend the annual Remembrance concert – which commemorates the end of the Nazi rule over The Netherlands.
