King Felipe of Spain and Princess Amalia of the Netherlands put on a very animated display as they watched the Dutch team battle host nation France on the basketball court at the Olympics.

The pair appeared tense,jubilant and nervous - at times hiding their faces behind their hands - as they watched the men's 3x3 basketball at La Concorde in Paris on Monday.

Twenty-year-old Amalia - the eldest child of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima - was the image of joy as she clapped when the Dutch players secured an incredible overtime victory.

In solidarity,King Felipe too appeared delighted by the result and hugged the young royal in congratulations.

Dutch player Worthy de Jong said of his nation's hard-earned gold medal: 'I never grew up with a dream to play in the Olympics... If anything I wanted to play in the NBA or just get the best out of me. The reason why I started in the first place was because I wanted to see if I could have been better than my dad.'

Meanwhile their daughters Princess Leonor,18,and Infanta Sofía,17,followed suit by taking numerous selfies throughout the historic games.

Elsewhere Queen Máxima of the Netherlands shared a fun selfie with her lookalike daughter Amalia while watching the rowing semi-final. 

The Dutch royal and her eldest child donned their native colour orange as they posed for a spontaneous selfie while watching the Olympics. 

Her shoulder length golden hair was worn down at her sides,perfectly framing her beaming smile and subtle silver earrings.

The royal wore her typical make-up,showing off her glowing skin with a natural base and subtle eye-look to emphasise her stunning features.

Meanwhile Amalia donned an orange T shirt and added a little glamour with gold chunky hoop earrings. 

Elsewhere,Danish monarchs Queen Mary and King Frederik snapped a stunning picture with the Eiffel Tower behind them minutes before the opening ceremony.
