Dutch communities in the Netherlands and around the world celebrate their nation’s cultural heritage and the birthday of His Majesty King Willem-Alexander, who was born on this day in 1967. A representation of the Dutch royal family, oranjegekte is the theme of the day and the national color can be seen everywhere from the way people dress up to the icing on the tompouce . Even the drinks are orange, as many toast to the King with an Orange Bitter. Depicted in the Doodle artwork is the creation of homemade crowns, an annual King’s Day tradition. Huge inflatable orange crowns and miniature crown variations are worn by celebrants across the country to honor the King’s birthday. Fijne Koningsdag! Location: Tags: , , , ,
