Pieter van Vollenhoven will feature in a special episode of the RKK. The camera's followed him while he shared a day with the monks in a convent in Berkel-Enschot.

He talks among other things about his parents and that they were worried when he entered the royal house. He hope that his parents are able to see what he is doing now and he says he also hopes his mother-in-law will be able to see how he found his own way. According to Pieter the late Queen wanted him to follow his own path, she would have liked this... (his present role in security etc).

Are his parents still living? I wonder if they finally gave their approval?

[Marengo]

No, I didn't translate it well. He mant that he hoped they could see all that from above.

Thank you, Marengo. I didn't think that they were still living, but after reading this, I wasn't so sure.

She looks fantastic! I would not have guessed her age at 66. She looks younger than her actual age. Will there be a family celebration in honor of her birthday?
