Football and an orange vuvuzela wielded by princess Amalia were the dominant features of this year’s annual pre-holiday photo shoot featuring the royal family.


Crown prince Willem-Alexander and princess Maxima leave for Capetown today to watch the Netherlands take on Uruguay in the World Cup semi finals on Tuesday.
Asked by reporters if she was sorry Argentina had been eliminated, Argentine-born Maxima said she had not watched the match.
The aim of the photo shoot is to try to make sure the family is left alone by photographers for its actual holiday. The destination this year is being kept secret.
