Originated as an initiative of the Royal House and Diplomatic Safety Agency as a proof of their bond with the RF,it now is a full grown sport event with 43 teams from several countries participating,each team consisting of 7 and they'll have to run 70 km.

They used to hunt here,until there came a law against hunting,or better,regulates it,
as we don't have natural predators left here that did the job.
Now,occasionally,a RF member flies out,on invitation,to countries where hunting
is still allowed,Spain for instance or Austria to name a few.
The hunt was one of the Royal Prerogatives in the old old days long gone.

The Dutch paralympic athletes are really in for a treat: a reception with 2 royals!! Even more than the 'regular' athletes. Good for them, they deserve it. Our RF sets a fine example!!

According to Marc van der Linden in www.royalty-online.nl the Make a Difference Day of 2008 has been postponed from November to March 2009. This is done as the organisation will be working together with the Orange-fund ánd because the weather in March is usually somewhat better. MADD expects that the royals will turn up in March, as they did the last years when the event was organised in November.

Queensday/Koninginnedag 2009 will be held in the city of Apeldoorn. It will be a special day as it is the 100th birthday of the late Queen Juliana and the 70th birthday of Prof. Pieter van Vollenhoven.

The NOS yesterday broadcasted a 45 minutes broadcast with the review of the royal year. The presenter must have mentioned abdication rumours, how WA is ready for it all, etc etc. 20 times at least. Bloody annoying IMHO. Anyway, the clips they show are nice to watch and it gives a somwhat different impressin of HM the Queen. This time we are able to hear a few things what she is saying i conversations with people that she meets, she is quite funny and charming.

Queen Beatrix, the Prince of Orange, Princess Maxima, Princess Catharina-Amalia, Princess Alexia, Princess Ariane, Prince Friso, Princess Mabel, Countess Luana and Countess Zaria attended a performance of the Great Christmas Circus on the Malieveld in The Hague this saturday. The royals were there on the invitation of the 'Friends of the Juliana Childrens Hospital', who made sure that 1 euro of each sold ticket will go to the hospital.
