Photographs of members of the royal family

The Government Information Service (RVD) expressly reserves all rights to the photographs under this heading. The photographs may however be downloaded and used for editorial purposes by news media, for display in public places, for private use and for educational purposes. No advance permission is required to place photographs on household items intended for public distribution. However, the RVD reserves the right to take action at a later date if it deems the use of the photographs or the manner in which they are made public to be incompatible with the dignity of the Royal House, to have a promotional purpose (advertising) or to be ideological in nature. The RVD will not respond to questions from third parties on whether legal or other action will be taken in given circumstances.
