The video says that princess Beatrix gave birth to Willem-Alexander,
Queen Juliana left her royal nepalese guest in amsterdam to leave for utrecht where the first prince was born over a hundred years.
And the little kids in school could eat round bisquits with orange sweet candy stuff, a common thing in the netherlands when a baby is born.
Then they move to Drakenstiijn, that's the little castle princess BEatric bought, it is next to palace Soestdijk, the residence of her parents.
After that Prince Claus thanks the people of the netherlands. A few days after that it was the birthday of queen Juliana, celebrated at her own palace.

I know queen Beatrix speaks a few languages, including english, french, italian and german, but i never heard her speak french, italian and german. Does someone has a video of that?

I heard her speaking German once. I think it was when she received the Karlspreis in Aix-la-Chapelle/Aachen/Aken (in Germany) a few years ago. I thought it was in 1996, but I'm not sure. Maybe that helps? But I'm not sure whether it was then when she spoke German, but it's very likely that she did. I remember she spoke it very well and without accent.

It is funny to hear her speak Dutch. I dont know how to say it but it sounds extremely chique and expensive. he english is also so, but i;m very curious how her french and german is. She spoke german with President Putin during this state-visit, so are there actually video's of that?

Thanks so much for your help! Claus was so cute speaking from that desk and they kept showing Beatrix as he was talking- a very cute moment I think.

Here you can hear her not speaking, but singing, with Claus, Margriet and Pieter.

I really like the Video of the Engagement of Beatrix and Claus.
You can hear them both speaking English and Dutch (And Claus German).
Beatrix starts giggeling from time to time and her voice sounds really "high" in this video.

I think so. Her voice is a little bitter deeper than the voice of Margriet and a little bit 'sratchy', if you can say so. ;-)

It's amazing to hear Beatrix sing! And it's quite a nice song too. Does anyone know how well this song went and has the Queen spoken about it since?

It was just a private joke. A friend of Pieter, who played his music or music of his friend in radio, get one of the records and played it. but the RVD confiscate the record after played the first time. But somebody recorded the radioprogramm for his mother and thats why we all have fun with that song.

What a shame! It's sad that this song didn't get wider coverage. I think it shows the Queen has a fun side (although that's obvious through other things we see).
