A young girl who was ready to meet the Dutch royalty was left in tears when the Prime Minister began speaking to her.

The Royals were met by an adorable toddler clad in crimson and waving their red, white and blue flag during their visit to Australia on Wednesday.

But the young fan appeared to be overcome by meeting the royal family and burst into tears at their feet as they arrived at the MH17 memorial in Canberra during their trip around the country.

Despite having an introduction from Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, the girl began crying after he called her 'darling' and had to be consoled.

The Dutch royals are currently on a tour of the country to commemorate 400 years since Dutch explorer Dirk Hartog landed on an island off the coast of Western Australia.

On Wednesday they visited the Australian War Memorial and Parliament House in Canberra, where they met with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and his wife Lucy.

The Australian War Memorial took to Instagram to share an insight in to the royal visit.

'This morning the Memorial was honoured to be visited by their Majesties King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands as part of their state visit to Australian this week,' they wrote.

'Their Majesties paid their respects at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier before meeting with a group of Dutch and Australian veterans and then visiting the Camp Holland memorial in the Sculpture Garden.'

The visit to Canberra comes after the Dutch royals unveiled the historic Hartog plate in the Western Australian Maritime Museum.

Yesterday, they celebrated the Melbourne Cup at Ascot Racecourse in Perth.
