Poor prince Constantijn and especially count Claus-Casimir; he was asked about 'his daughters' and was clearly in doubt whether he should stress that he also had a son.

Other interesting information: Countess Eloise is currently in her final year of high school and apparently was planning to do a 'gap year' but right now it's unsure how that will work out.

And princess Beatrix needed some help to have Zoom up and running to be able to wish her eldest son a happy birthday last week.

So to see the Prince has taken a fitness regime. He looks fit and healthy. Congratulations and celebrations to the couple. A marriage between youth friends (they know each other since toddler time) seems to work splendidly.

Aren't the fitness clubs also still closed in The Netherlands? But he does look healthy indeed.

Fitness at home?


Laurentien has always been the fitnessy type, hard to believe she is 54.

Yes, I agree. She looks much younger and quite healthy. Always liked her. She was her own nice person always to others.

Prince Constantijn has become a member of the board of the newly created National Growth Fund, with an investment capital of 20 billion Euro per legislature, to encourage the transition towards a new robust, innovative and sustainable economy.

Article on the National Growth Fund. The aim is that every 5 years another 20 billion (there is no real limit) will be pumped in start ups, in innovative ideas, in sustainability, everything to make The Netherlands 2.0 advancing to The Netherlands 3.0

Prince Constantijn is the Set Up Tsar. That set ups can be quite profitable is proved by the late Prince Friso, who made his widow a multi-millionaire thanks to investments into projects of scruffy students which turned out to become moneymakers.

With his experience in set ups and his role in judging all projects, Prince Constantijn of course has fine first hand knowledge for much promising investments on behalf of the royal family.

It will be interesting to see how a-political the fund will be. While I see why they picked prince Constantijn, it could be a little tricky. It's a lot of money and the first debates about this new fund (and especially how the money should be spend) are already starting...

Yes, 20 billion Euro is a gigantic sum and to have the King's brother in the judging panel, hmmm... At the other hand: the Netherlands never have been too anxious in giving responsibility. Apparently they trust that Prince Constantijn is a serious person, with a sound mind and a well-developed political antenna. He has been strategic assistant of EU Commissioners, so he is not in unchartered territory.
