The Dutch celebrated their king’s birthday Tuesday in muted fashion as a coronavirus lockdown prevented large-scale street parties for the second year running.

King Willem-Alexander was marking his 54th birthday in the southern city of Eindhoven, a city that brands itself as a hub for high-tech innovation, for a digital version of the annual royal walkabout.
