Throwback! The two clearly had no problem with amorous looks in public.
Of course, we already knew that Willem-Alexander and Máxima were completely in love with each other as a newlywed couple. But if we delve into the archives, we come across a striking number of amorous looks from the lovebirds. Bike fiew!
The sultry looks of WA & Máx
Although we still see loving snapshots of Willem-Alexander and Máxima almost twenty-two years after the royal wedding, love was really in the air in 2002. Watch!
Willem-Alexander and Máxima open a ball in the Royal Palace Amsterdam, two days before the wedding:

To practice for the Big Day itself!

There is also room for an amorous look during official state visits. In March 2002, then Queen Beatrix paid a state visit to Brazil in the presence of the lovebirds.

As if they are thinking back to their own wedding, a few months earlier… Willem-Alexander and Máxima at the wedding of the Norwegian Princess Märtha Louise in July 2002:

More than twenty years, three children, an enthronement and a beard later, love is still radiating from every photo session! This photo from last year proves that once again.

It does not stop at romantic glances alone, as was evident in the interview that Willem-Alexander gave for his fiftieth birthday. “She means everything to me, my happiness at home, my children, I have everything thanks to her,” the king said about his Maxima. “She is very caring and forgiving, even when I am sometimes sullen.”
