Video: Dutch royals dance with Curaçao World Cup squad after Ecuador draw
On Sunday, video circulated online showing King Willem-Alexander, Queen Máxima, and Princess Ariane dancing inside the Curaçao national team’s locker room. This was in celebration of the Curaçao’s 0–0 draw against Ecuador on Saturday. The result was a historic moment for the team, which secured its first point in World Cup competition.
The royal family spent the weekend attending World Cup matches in the United States. They first watched the Netherlands defeat Sweden 5–1 in Houston and later saw Curaçao’s draw with Ecuador in Kansas City.
