From my friend Marianne: Queen Beatrix and Prince Claus in January 1967 at the pre-wedding ball for her sister Princess Margriet. Queen Bea is 6 months pregnant with Willem in this picture - though it's hard to tell!
Hi. I was wondering if anyone who speaks Dutch might be able to translate what Prince Claus was saying in the video called "Geboorte prins Willem-Alexander" on this website: http://www.beeldengeluid.nl/template_subnav.jsp?navname=polygoon_themas&category=collectie_informatie&artid=7342
It's a very nice video and Claus presents WA right after he was born. Then he makes some sort of speech from his desk and I was wondering what he said!
Thanks very much to anyone who can help!!!
