Prinsjesdag

Yesterday was Prinsjesdag (Prince's Day), which is the day when Queen Beatrix go in a golden carriage from Palace Noordeinde to Binnehof where the government is seated. There the Finance Minister presents to her the budget for the next year aswell with other governmental matters. Anyway, from what I have heard, the big deal is when the Queen, Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima show themselves up on the balcony of Noordeinde. Unfortunately, I was in school and missed this. So typical, because the Noordeinde Palace is like 2 minutes from my house. Well well, I'll watch it next year instead.

Queen Beatrix, I'll be back next year!

It seems to me that the Netherlands has very fond feelings for their Royal Family compared to what we have in Sweden. But then of course, our King is a dyslectic, inbreeded, stupid a**hole who cheated on the Queen. Not much there to like I'm afraid. But here in Holland they have actual holidays to celebrate the Royals. I can't wait to experience Koninginnedag on the 30th April! It's when everyone dresses up in orange clothing and just celebrate out in the streets. Now that's what I call royalists!
