At the reception, both royal couples inaugurated a new exhibition titled "Duo," featuring monumental works by distinguished Dutch and Spanish urban artists. The exhibit unites their creations around common cultural motifs, highlighting shared themes and inspirations.
King Felipe concluded the reception by extending his gratitude to his royal hosts and the people of the Netherlands.

The King and Queen of Spain are currently on a three-day State Visit to The Netherlands. Concluding their second day in the Dutch capital, Their Majesties attended a state banquet in their honor, hosted by King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam.
Also in attendance were Dutch Princess Margriet, Dutch Crown Princess Amalia, and Dutch Princess Beatrix, who joined Their Majesties to pose for the official photo prior to the gala dinner.
The kings and queens welcomed guests in the Throne Room before proceeding to the Citizens' Hall of the Palace to commence the banquet.
For those who may be curious, Queen Letizia experienced difficulty standing during the greetings before the dinner and remained seated, due to her ongoing battle with chronic metatarsalgia—a condition that causes pain in the ball of the foot.
This evening, the Spanish queen dazzled in a custom sapphire blue gown from The 2nd Skin Co.
The silhouette showcases the label's 'Suraia' design, featuring a crew neckline and Japanese sleeves adorned with small mikado bows on the cuffs. The voluminous skirt is elegantly finished with a subtle train.
Queen Letizia adorned the Diamond Loop Tiara, an exquisite diadem with its intricate looped design tracing its origins back to 1879 when it was bestowed as a wedding gift upon Archduchess Maria Christina of Austria upon her marriage to King Alfonso XII of Spain.
She complemented the tiara with joyas de pasar pieces including the large chaton diamond earrings. Pinned to her sash was Queen Victoria Eugenia’s Grey Pearl Brooch.
During this State Visit, Her Majesty was honored with the Order of the Gold Lion of the House of Nassau, a distinction that is elegantly reflected in the adornment of her sash and badges.
To complete the ensemble, Queen Letizia wore a new pair of navy Martinelli x Redondo Brand 'Monroe' Platform Sandals (£220).
