Prinses Christina is evading taxes in an not illegal way but conroversial method. I can not stand greed. And I think the royals should have an exemplary function.

[Maura724]

If she isn't doing anything illegal, can they do anything about it? The automatic translator I used didn't make things very clear.

[Rayarena]

Does anybody know where the bride, Eva Prinz-Valdez, is from? What's her ethnic background?

It's very sad that Princess Christina who was the most unfortunate member of the royal family had to suffer so much. It must have been devastating to have been used in that way. After all, it's clear that Jorge Guillermo just married her for her position and money.

Does anyone know what type of relationship this horrible man has with his children? Often children side with their mothers in marital disputes, especially if she is victimized. So, I would imagine that Bernardo, Nicolas and Juliana must have a strained relationship with their father, or do they?

[Maura724]

It would seem likely to me, Rayena, but Bernardo did involve Jorge in his recent wedding, and I have the impression Jorge sees Bernardo's infant daughter fairly regularly, so Bernardo at least has a good enough relationship with his dad. Nicolas and Juliana I have no idea.

Kritiek op geldbeheer prinses Christina - Binnenland - de Volkskrant

Prinses Christina is evading taxes in an not illegal way but conroversial method. I can not stand greed. And I think the royals should have an exemplary function.

And I think people,you and those blithering idiots at parliament,should know that the Princess lives abroad and is in no way due to pay taxes here.The idiocy is politics in The Hague consists of much pump and less brains then ever before and they should know.They also should know that the PM is in no way responsible for her as she stepped out of his line of responsibility while he was still in dipers,on the day she married,over thirty something years ago,so why would anyone ask questions about her to him?Exactly,because they haven't got a clue that one and one is two and they do not make their homework well before blurting like caddle in distress

The Princess is NOT evading taxes in any which way.HRH is NOT a resident of The Netherlands for decades but of the both the US and the UK.

The Princess has put her money in a fund on the Channel Islands,perfectly legal as they are what are called British Crown Dependancies.The tax climate is mild but she doesn't do anything illegal.The very word highly irritates me as Christina and "illegal" are as far apart as either end of the universe.She is just clever and I for one would do exactly the very same.

The news was brought out in the open by the Volkskrant,a once quality but very leftist paper loosing subscribers as all and everyone take to the internet for news,so hey why not make an extra buck and come up with a ballony story.For the second time this year,both times on the Princess and both times on the same issue,her fund being stationed in the Channel Islands and the address being that of her sisters office.What are they thinking?People are as dumb as they are and forget so they can blow the same nonsense up again and again?That might go for reds but not for this walking wake-up call here,and I hope,after this explanation,not for anyone.What they nag about mostly is that the Fund,the Crocus Fund of Princess Christina,has its address at Noordeinde Palace,her sisters office.Now,what the Family does or doesn't do at any of their addresses is no-bo-dies darn business.Really,It is not.Ever.Hope I made things clearrer for all.

[susan alicia]

the questions asked to the PM regard the fact that she lives in London and is evading paying property tax which runs in the millions to the UK.

The Princes is not alone in doing this but should not be doing it at all.

No-one in The Hague has any business asking about her,she is NOT a resident and NOT evading any tax on any property at all,not here and not in the UK.Whatever it is they like to make you believe,it isn´t any different then the Daffodil Fund the same paper fussed over months ago.Same story.She just made sure that her part of the inheritances of Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard are taken care of properly,as would you and I in that position,and she does that within the UK as that is where she is a resident.All legal.Really,it is.

[susan alicia]

Lucien, she is the sister of the Queen and when she choses to put her fortune in the Daffodil Fund on the well known tax paradise Guernsey it is legal, as stated before, but controversial. She is evading paying taxes to the UK because she is a resident of that country.
Lets see if the government will respond to the questions and how the case unrolls.

[Rayarena]

Maura, you are probably right. Jorge Guillermo does have some sort of relationship with his children, or else he wouldn't have been invited to the wedding, unless it was an unavoidable formality. Talking about parents of the groom, I wonder about the parents of the bride? I can't find any information about them. Who exactly is the Eva Prinz-Valdez? Where was she born? What is her ethnic background? All that I've been able to find is some slight mention of her professional affiliation.

[Rayarena]

More about Bernardo's and his life in Brooklyn, NY of all places! I live in NYC and I was surprised to hear that he lives in Brooklyn. I know the area where he lives and while it is a very desirable neighborhood, it is only a middle to in some cases upper middle class area, not the type of very RICH neighborhood where you would think that a member of one of the richest families in the world with royal blood running through his very blue veins--the nephew of the Queen of Holland-- would choose live in!

Goes to show you that one never knows who might move next to one!

Princess Christina attended the Queens Day concert in Noordeinde Palace in The Hague, a few days ago. Other royals attending were HM the Queen, princess Maxima and prince Jaime of Bourbon-Parma. The concert will be broadcasted tonight on Nederland 2.

[principessa]

If Jorge Guillermo would have converted to the Dutch Reformed Church before his marriage and Christina would not renounced her succession rights, would Bernardo, Nicolas and Juliana be HH Princes/s of Oranje-Nassau - Guillermo or would they simple be ... Guillermo?

[Marengo]

The most likely thing would have been that they would have copied the situation as with the van Vollenhovens. So HH Prince(ss) X of Orange-Nassau.

Religious issues were not the reason for Christina to lose her succession rights though. She didn't ask permission from parlament and that way you automatically lose succession rights in The Netherlands.
