Koninklijk

“Koninklijk” is a Dutch term that translates to “royal” in English. It is used to denote something that is associated with, or pertains to, a monarchy or royal family. In the Netherlands and Belgium, the term is commonly seen in contexts such as royal titles, royal decrees, and organizations that have been granted royal patronage or approval by the reigning monarch. The term embodies notions of dignity, authority, and tradition linked to royal status. For example, institutions that receive the designation “Koninklijk” may have a long-standing history or exemplary service in their field, warranting recognition by the royal family.
