Prince Constantijn was interviewed on Radio1 by Sven Kockelmann (who is generally considered one of the toughest journalists of the moment).
He was interviewed about the Innovation platform he is working for and what policies are necessary for the new government to roll out in this sector to make sure the country does not lag behind.
In addition the interviewer shortly asked him about his wife and the recent upheaval (see above) The prince calls the attacks on his wife 'baseless' but admitted it 'hasn't been a good time' for his wife. 'I have known her for a very long time and I know that what has been described has no simularity at all with how she is'.
His wife decided not to defend herself: 'She doesnt want to throw mud back at them. For her it is important that the parents will receive help'.
Constantijn vertelde dat zijn vrouw „een en ander voor haar kiezen heeft gekregen” en dat hij niets gelooft van de aantijgingen.

It would be VERY odd if the Princess would start attacking civil servants IMO, so I am glad she does not as it would create a strange situation, taking ministerial responsibility into account. At the same time that does mean that she has great difficulties in defending herself against these anonimous attacks.
