Members of the Dutch royal family have expressed support for both the Netherlands national football team and the Curaçao national team during the ongoing FIFA World Cup, according to the New York Post.

According to GoogleNewsEN, members of the royal household exchanged orange attire for blue clothing in order to demonstrate their affiliation with Curaçao following their attendance at a Netherlands match. The outlet characterised the change of colours as a symbolic gesture reflecting the royal family’s ties to both nations.

Curaçao is an autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The reported presence of royal family members at Curaçao’s matches is consistent with the constitutional relationship that exists between the constituent countries of the Kingdom.

Further details regarding the specific fixtures attended or the precise composition of the royal delegation present could not be independently verified on the basis of the available source material.

The Royal House of the Netherlands could not be reached for comment.
