This is your King, I mean, your Captain speaking.
Two KLM pilots heading to their flight. If one of the pilots looks familiar ..... no need for that double take.
Yes, the pilot on the right is First Officer HM King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands. The photo was taken recently in Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport.

Willem-Alexander received his private pilot's license in 1985. Two years later, he earned his commercial pilot's license. The king also has a military license and an Airport Transport pilot license.
To keep his license active, the King flies several times a year, usually for KLM's City Hopper service.
