Lovely to see Pss Beatrix but IMO it would have been nice if the King had been there too for this milestone. The university was founded by William of Orange ánd the King, his mother and his grandmother have studied here too.

A really nice crowd out to greet the former Monarch who is looking as lovely and professional as ever!

Apologies if this has been posted already, but it was a rare case of European royalty making the UK news media.

Uden Town Hall in the Netherlands apparently accidentally threw out a print of Andy Warhol's famous portrait of Beatrix from his 'Reigning Queen's' series. It was worth around €15,000 / £12,000.

Oops.

The silkscreen print of Queen Beatrix was among 45 artworks likely to have been thrown away during renovations of Uden town hall in the Netherlands in 2023.

Maashorst municipality officials confirmed on Thursday that the missing artworks, valued at €22,000 (£18,700), were likely disposed of in council rubbish vans and incinerated at a local waste centre, an investigation by the Dutch municipalities found.

Future Maashorst municipality press bulletin: SUPER EFFICIENT MUNICIPAL WASTE DISPOSAL DEPARTMENT PROCESSES €22,000 IN ADDITIONAL MATERIAL AT NO EXTRA COST TO TAXPAYERS

The case comes months after another incident involving Warhol’s works in the Netherlands, when thieves attempted to steal four prints from the same “Reigning Queens” series from a gallery in North Brabant province.

I like the unintended implication that the thieves might have been more careful...

This piece was one of 46 that accidentally ended up in the dump most likely in September or October 2023 after a merge of multiple municipalities resulting in lots of art needing to find a new destination. When the combined municipality started looking for the art works and couldn’t find them, the hired an investigation company to look into the issue. They recently concluded that ‘accidentally ended up in the bin’ was the most likely scenario.
