The school is often referred to as ‘Hippie Hogwarts’ due to its progressive approach to education and its picturesque castle setting, often attended by European monarchs.

The royals were received enthusiastically by the primary school students – and they seemed particularly excited when they saw Máxima giving them a high five in their classrooms.
The mother-of-three was also pictured sitting at the lunch tables with the students as they snacked on sandwiches, fruit and water in the school canteen.
Elsewhere, the King and Queen stepped outside to observe what appeared to be an exciting friendly game of football.
For the event, the Argentine-born royal wore a pair of high-waisted chocolate brown culottes, which served to accentuate her curvaceous figure.
Maxima paired the look with a gray high-neck sweater and brown leather boots, while for outdoors she opted for a long gray overcoat.

Queen Máxima presented a small silver trophy during the event
A pair of silver metal earrings were the perfect accessory, although she opted to forgo a handbag on this occasion.
For her hair, the royal’s luscious blonde locks were tied down and adorned only with a center parting.
Her makeup was as subtle as it was striking, with a streak of black eyeliner and a pink lip to complete the look.
Meanwhile, her husband, the King, looked dapper in a royal blue suit which he wore with a crisp white shirt and orange tie.
His outfit was a bold statement of national pride as it represented the colors of the Dutch flag, but was also synonymous with King’s Day.
