26 January, 2005: Prince Willem Alexander inaugurated an exhibition of the photo and film archive of Prince Bernhard, at the Verzets Museum in Amsterdam
I have just been informed by Royal Netherlands Embassy in Warsaw that The Prince of Orange's visit to Poland in April "will be a closed visit" and that there will be no possibility of seeing Prince Willem-Alexander or Princess Maxima at this time.
So he moved away from home the castle to this then to the house he has with maxima?
thank you
and thank you s o much for the photo
in between the castle and noordeinde he lived in a house he/they had bought on the rapenburg in leiden where he studied, he lived there with half a dozen of friends. They could not put him in the traditional studenthouses but he was given the opportunity to have an as normal as possible student life, more than was possible for beatrix when she was in leiden. After he left leiden I think the house was sold to a family and is no longer a studenthouse.
Yesterday Máxima spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos. She was invited to pay attention to the UN-year of the Microcredit. Willem-Alexander accompanied his wife.
what made me cringe when I saw them on tv was that nobody stood up while beatrix, WA, and maxima shook hands with them, some of them might have been unable to stand but most of them definitely could and remained on their butt
for heavens sake, stand up when someone comes to you and offers his/her hand, whether he/she is a royal or not.
susan_alicia, they were suffering very much, in that situation why would people should stand up? The kings are made to serve their People and not the contrary.
In Spain, after the March.11, nobody stand up while Queen Sofia and Letizia offers their hands to people in the Church.
I'm sorry to say this, I don't want to offend you but your message is a very insensible post.
to Regina - I disagree with you that Susan Alicia´s remark was insensible. Women do not need to stand up when they are addressed, but men are required to stand up when someone addresses them, especially if the other person is a woman or older than them. It is a general rule of behaviour and followed in all Christian states. One´s wellbeing is irrelevant in such cases.
If you were one of this victims, I'm sure that the last thing you would remember is to stand up... Princess Máxima is not the kind of persons who care about those things in times of pain.
And Merca, thank you but I don't need your explanations about Protocol in Christian States, I was not talking to you

regina, merca,
trust me, it looked really embarressing on tv. I felt for the royals and I am not always so sympathetic. If those who could, would have stood up they would have shown dignity, now they looked pathetic and rude.
When the royal is approaching the commoner, the commoner doesn't always stand. Especially in times of grief and illness this can be seen. I've seen Elizabeth greet commoners in times of grief or illness and they don't stand and she doesn't appear to take offence. I don't think any of the Oranges took offence at this, either.

too bad then, about the not standing. (I think everyone should stand when approached, by a royal or a commoner)
the royals do not take offence because they (usually) have perfect manners.
re being so sad and not able to stand:
remember pictures, tv images of jacqueline kennedy at the funeral of her husband, she did not cry even though it was visible through her veil that she was griefstricken and she walked straight as a arrow.
