Wonderful picture of dog-lover Willem-Alexander visiting a training compound for blind guide dogs. The King is known for his lifelong love for labradors. At the moment he has two English Labradors, called Nala and Skipper.

Yesterday, November 12, King Willem-Alexander paid a working visit to the Royal Military Police. He visited the brigade Brabant South in Breda and attended an inspection at the border Hazeldonk.



** koninklijkhuis.nl: Koning brengt werkbezoek aan Koninklijke Marechaussee ** translation **

Being the military police is only one of the tasks of the Koninklijke Marechaussee. It is more a Gendarmerie force with civil duties. As Prince of Orange the King held the rank of a Brigade-Generaal (a Brigadier in English) in this force but I have never ever seen him in the uniform of the Koninklijke Marechaussee. A pity the King did not wear an uniform for this visit.
 
HM the King has send a message of condolence to French President Francois Holande in which he expresses his deepest condolences and sympathy on behalve of all dutch and his family.
