According to nu.nl Edwin de Roy plans to sue tv-presentor Albert Verlinde. According to Edwin de Roy he received a death thread, and his name was slandered. in the programme of 4 December Verlinde talked with royalty ´journalist´ Peter van der Vorst about another lawsuit of Edwin. Edwin wanted to sue Net5 as he didn´t want a programme repeated where an actress sees a picture of him and said ´isn´t that the man with the loose hands?´ (implying he beats things/people) .

After the report about the l.awsuit Albert Verlinde joked that the programme used to be named ´under the tram´ and said that he still wanted that the programme was named that way, when I think of him´. He also named some of the things Edwin did ´embazzlement, stealing things...´ . According to Edwin de Roy this is not true, hence the lawsuit.

Usually he loses his numerous legal proceedings, but this time Edwin de Roy van Zuydewijn has won.

The gossip-presenter Albert Verlinde has called de Roy a thief and a cheater in one of his shows.
Of course, immediately de Roy took legal proceeding against Verlinde.

The court in Amsterdam has judged that Verlinde's statements were illegal acts.
Verlinde's broadcast cooperation has to pay € 1500,- as reimbursement to De Roy.

He had demanded for a 15.000 euro fine for Verlinde and another 10.000 from RTL.What he got was still too much.....

[Marengo]

I agree, I am surprised RTL and Verlinde have to pay anything at all, esp. considering that far worse things are said on television, about Edwin de Roy or about others. And I have heard far more shocking things said about Edwin in real life too...

Free newspaper ´Metro´ today had on their frontpage in big bold letters: ´Princess Margarita refuses to pay lawyers´. Apparently th Princess refuses to pay the laywers she once hired with her husband. Her present lawyer Kemper the lawyers should have done the case pro deo.

According to the article the Princess lives from 800 euros a month, which she receives from her mother. So she is also unable to pay. Mr. Kemper finds it rather bad taste that the former lawyers talked about it instead of keeping at for themselves, as is usual.

The former lawyers say they were not working pro deo as they had no reason to assume at that time that the princess and her (former) husband were having financial difficulties. They were living in a castle in France, flying up and down to The Netherlands in an airplane and when they were in Amsterdam they were staying in hotels.

Last week 'Metro' had an interview with Edwin de Roy, not too interesting but he says he still wants allimentation of Princess Margarita, he doesn't believe she has to live from 800 euros a month but that she recently inherite a lot more from her grandparents. The reason he wants allimentation is because he says it is impossible for him to get a job in The Netherlands, which is true of course, as I seriously doubt that even McDonalds would let him frie hamburgers. He also says he will continue his attempts to restaure his honour... sigh. He says he doesn't have an aunt who owns 7 Billion euros (he seems to think that Beatrix has that amount of money)but he will continue and he says 'the only way is up', which is indeed true (can't think it is possible for him to fall even deeper).

I find it a bit odd that they are the plaintiffs btw, why not the RVD or something? Somehow I liked Queen Wilhelmina's aproach: 'We do not sue our countrymen'. I suppose this sueing will continue for the years to come, so as King he will probably get a record of lawsuits on his name.

[Princess Robijn]

Since Princess Margarita has a new boyfriend, should news about Edwin de Roy van Zuydewijn still be in this topic?

According to a boulevard magazine, Princess Margarita of Bourbon-Parma was wearing an engagement ring at the birthday festivities of her aunts Beatrix and Margriet in theatre Carre, Amsterdam.

Well, the other option is to give him a topic of his own I think. As Margarita is his connection to the RF we can keep him in this thread until her relationship with Tjalling ten Cate gets more official.

Do we must ? Why we can't just forget about him?

[Marengo]

Well, the guy keeps popping up in the press threatening with lawsuits and all that and saying nasty things about the RF.

[Empress]

The human beings capability for making ourselves miserable astounds me sometimes. It's as if we want to be sad and unhappy and miserable, as long as we are the center of attention, or at least think that we are.

One would think and hope that by this time, they would both have moved on with their lives and tried to find some semblence of happiness. Instead, he at least, chooses to continue to try and ride along on his dubious at best, connection to the royal family. Not that anyone who was in their right mind would want him at this point, but you'd think that they would at least try.

As for giving him a topic of his own,.... No Way! Hopefully he will just go away!

[lucien]

Oh do I agree with that,no way to give that thing a thread of his own,mental cases of his level really do not deserve that in any way,please,the very idea.

Apparently neither Marengo nor I have seen him walking past a canal,otherwise this whole thread would have been closed already...

[Marengo]

Well, with the engagement of Princess Margarita and Tjalling ten Cate we can close this thread. Margarita and Tjalling will get a new 'News and Events' thread. Edwin can wait for now, but when he starts one of his tantrums about the RF we can open a new thread.
