While his brother Prince Constantijn looks sharp, the King looks quite pale and unhealthy.

Wow, that's a rather confusing translation by PPE. Gerben Gerbrandy is the only member (and therefore chairman) of the 'Independent Senate Group' which represents the various provincial political parties in the 'first chamber' (or Senate). He is a former mayor, member of the Fryske Nasjonale Partij (note: the party's name is in Frisian and not in Dutch) - the largest among the provincial parties (as was the previous senate chairman/only member) - and represents all provincial political parties in the senate since June last year.

Why did the king do this alone and not with Maxima?

This was a Remembrance without public because of Covid. Only the King, the Prime Minister, the Chairs of the First and Second Chamber of the States-General, the chiefs of the Armed Forces, the Mayor of The Hague, etc. that iron list of the who-is-who.

Prinsara · #**377** 08-15-2020, 01:41 PM

Maxima has been to Covid remembrance services before, though. Ones I believe were just her and the King. I can understand paring to the so-called bare minimum, but it seems strange to downgrade her simply because more people need to come...

In other years (once in five years) the King also has been alone at the Remembrance for the Fallen in the Netherlands East-Indies.

In 2007 the Court issued a communiqué that the restraint attitude towards other remembrances is to prevent inflation of the National Remembrance on May 4th, which ALSO "covers" the fallen in the Netherlands East-Indies and other dominions.

Lee-Z · #**379** 08-15-2020, 02:29 PM

maybe a small addition to clarify: the king only attends 1 time every 5 years at this remembrance event; the other years attendance from governmental side are politicians and ambassadors

**Somebody** · #**380** 08-15-2020, 03:35 PM

This is not comparable at all to a covid-related event, so whether she attended completely unrelated events doesn't seem relevant.

In addition, Willem-Alexander makes it a priority to attend these remembrance services once every 5 years during their holidays. So, he flew in from Greece to attend and most likely went straight back. He's done this before for other extremely important events taking place in the summer.
