Dutch royals take annual family photos while skiing in Austria

As is almost a tradition by now, the Dutch royal couple and their three daughters posed for photos at the start of their skiing vacation in Lech, Austria on Monday.

The Royal family goes skiing in Lech every year, according to broadcaster NOS. To avoid being followed around by photographers all through their vacation, they always meet the press for a few photos at the start of their holiday.

Last year's holiday photos were taken shortly before Princess Alexia, the Royal couple's middle child, broke her leg in a skiing accident.
