Rioyalblog has the article about Queen Beatrix being bullied in English:

Dutch Queen Beatrix was bullied in school

According to Marc van der Linden on www.royalty-online.nl HM has a new parrot. The previous one died last year. She got that parrot from her late husband, prince Claus. Her son, the Prince of Orange felt sorry for his mother and she could buy a new one on his costs. HM went to an animal store and bought a one simular to the one Claus gave her, which would be this one (they can speak):
