King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and King Frederik of Denmark today jointly visited a high-tech company.

It is a high-tech company specializing in decarbonization technologies – removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere – and solutions for the transition to green energy.
King Willem-Alexander and King Frederik appeared to share a joke as the pair smiled as they looked around the building.
The Kings arrived wearing highly polished shoes and similar suits that were both navy blue, while Willem-Alexander donned a crisp white shirt and sky blue patterned tie.

At the event, Frederick and Mary announced that the Crown Prince Couple’s Awards will now be known as the Royal Couple’s Awards – to signify their new royal status following their ascension to heaven in January.
