This is one of my CDVs. I like (despite the spots) the clarity.
Our present monarch Queen Beatrix will celebrate her 75th birthday this Thursday, she'll abdicate April 30th. And there won't be a coronation. So no putting of crowns on heads, just an inauguration with some oath swearing.

Rob, I don't have any wood flooring for sale, but good luck with the royal inauguration!
ReplyDeleteHaha, stupid spammers. I've removed the Wood Flooring Ad.
DeleteAn inauguration sounds a better idea than a coronation. I read about the abdication on the news online, but haven't heard it mentioned on tv here in the UK.
ReplyDeleteI imagine the use of the word 'abdication' is banned by Elizabeth in the UK...

DeleteI am envious of Your Monarchy. In the republics every person arrives to the top of the power is engaged to carry away as much money as possible, before the end of his/her period of power.
ReplyDeleteI'd read online about Queen Beatrix abdicating in April. How interesting this will be the first king in 123 years and only three queens ruled during that time. Longevity certainly runs in the family line - I've just read when Queen Juliana died at the age of 94 in 2004, she was the longest-lived former ruling Monarch in the world. By the way, your future Queen Maxima is lovely.
ReplyDeleteYes she is! And very smart as well...
