Laurentien attended as Patron of the association "Onbeperkt Lezen" (Unlimited Reading) that has published the book. She has written the book's preface, it's about people with a reading disability who tell how they read, for example in Braille, using the fingers, or by listening to a spoken book and what this means to them.

Here's an interview Laurentien has given during the book presentation today:

That is a warm embracement. Annejet van der Zijl has written two (acclaimed) biographies linked to the Oranges, not always flattering for the royal family:

The American Princess, about "aunt Allene" formerly Mrs Theodore R. Hostetter, formerly Mrs Morton Colton Nichols, formerly Mrs Anson Wood Burchard, formerly Prinzessin Heinrich XXXIII Reuss zu Köstritz, formerly comtesse Pavel Pavlovitch de Kotzebue, aunt (by marriage) to Prince Bernhard and godmother to Princess Beatrix:
