Princess Alexia, the second daughter of crown prince Willem Alexander and princess Maxima, celebrates her second birthday today with a house full of royal photographers.

Tuesday is one of the few days the family is together in the coming weeks because of other commitments, so the press have been invited for the annual summer photo session.
Maxima, who is back to work following the birth in April of her third daughter, Ariane, heads for Kenya later this week in connection with her work on micro-financing.
