Quote:

Today Prince Constantijn had one of his rare public "performances". Delivering a speech at the conference 'Equal Opportunities for All, Citizenship and Human Capital in a Diverse Europe'.
Could have been interesting to many, but only very people showed up (a couple of hundreds instead of 2,000). He even joked about the many gaps in the auditorium.
Says enough about his Brussels job, i.e. improving the communication about "Europe".

Usually a royal attracts a bigger audience not so in his case (Princess Laurentien is much, much better known in the netherlands.)

And maybe also because Europe isn´t exactly a very popular topic these days, at least...not the positive side of the European Union.

i always love to see her with the children. She enjoys being with them. i always like to see her at make a difference day too. This year she just went in the sand with the kids with her beautiful dress. I like her tipical Belt-on-jacket. To bad there are no pictures of it.

Red suit's her, Laurentien looked nice, but overall dissapointing. those stocking with the red dress and the shoes get lost with the stockings.

The princess started the speech with a joke, and wondered if she should greet everybody with ´goedemoggel´, as that word is a hype after a commercial of KPN. The commercial shows a company where all employess make spelling mistakes as in sms textmessages, so instead of ´goedemorgen´ they greet each other with ´Goedemoggel´ for example. I believe there are now 4 songs made with the title ´goedemoggel´.

Good to see that the Prince is expanding his ´duties´ in The Netherlands somewhat. The world press photo foundation is a rather interesting cause. Do you know if he has any other patronages apart from this one? Something to do with Europe maybe?
