Rob Jetten just made history in the Netherlands as both the country’s youngest and the first openly gay prime minister.
The 38-year-old politician was sworn into office on Monday (February 23) at The Hague in the Netherlands. He was previously elected back in October.
Rob was joined by former Prime Minister Dick Schoof for the portfolio transfer at the ministry of general affairs. We also have photos of him meeting with King Willem-Alexander two days before the swearing in.

Rob wrote on X, “What a day. Soon we’ll be on the balcony for the swearing-in. Proud to be able to do this together. In a new phase, with great responsibility and above all a shared promise to commit ourselves to everyone in the Netherlands. By not dwelling on what goes wrong, but by building on what can be better. That calls for courage and collaboration. On to the balcony!
Wat een dag. Straks staan we op het bordes voor de beëdiging.
Trots om dit samen te mogen doen. In een nieuwe fase, met een grote verantwoordelijkheid en vooral een gezamenlijke belofte om ons in te zetten voor iedereen in Nederland.
