Interview with Prince of Orange and Princess Maxima (in Duch)
NOS Mediaplayer
Pity it is so long that I can't translate it one two three,but maybe a fellow dutchman/woman can?There's another video in the line:
On the visit to the White House:
They were received warm and cordially and had talks on many issues,more a brush on many issues,one of them being the President saying how he admired the Dutch care system and could use parts of that to implement in the US,and Máxima and Michelle on being working mothers etc etc
On Hillary Clinton and Alexander knowing her for 15 years now and how warm a friendship there is between them
On the coverage by the US press,it had been on the Morning Shows,and throughout the newsmedia and was well received
How friends of Máxima had called her as they had seen her on the news everywhere and they called to say:'We see you are here and everywhere and why didn't you call,we didn't know you were here.
Máxima said how packed the program was so she wasn't able to drop by,
but also how thoroughly the two had enjoyed it all.
In short.
Willem-Alexander in New Amsterdam Village,it's partly in english and the reportes ends with saying something in the line of;"If history didn't have this slight twist,then all this ( New York City and the rest) could have been all theirs"....
....Imagine,all of you speaking dutch.
You know that till in the 1960's the dutch reformed church send dutch ministers to the US as many services were still held in dutch at the former first settler towns,like NYC for example?And that dutch is still used in the more traditional areas?
The couple is to arrive back here in just over an hour and home just in time to cuddle the girls and bring them to school!....grin...
