Travel pool report #4: Paleis Huis ten Bosch

At 8:34 p.m., the motorcade arrived at Paleis Huis ten Bosch in The Hague, where the president is attending a social dinner tonight. According to NATO guidance, it is being hosted by King Williem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

After briefly holding, POTUS exited his limousine at 8:37 p.m. and walked alone up a red carpet to enter the palace.

The motorcade traveled down an otherwise closed highway to The Hague, passing fields, grazing cattle and neighborhoods along the way. As the motorcade entered populated areas, crowds of people behind barriers clustered roadside with their phones held up. Inside of apartments as we approached The Hague, families and individuals could be seen standing in their windows looking out.

Some people looked like they were having a lot of fun watching, including a group that had set up a table and were holding glasses of wine as the motorcade went by.
