Does Carlos Hugo Klynstra have any relationship with his grandmother or aunts?
Does the rest of the family speak with a similar Dutch accent? I was surprised at how different her English accent is from her sisters'. Beatrix says some words with a slight North American intonation -- maybe owing to her years in Canada? -- but she sounds more European overall than Irene does. Margriet's accent is more like Beatrix's.
Somehow, Willem-Alexander seems to have the most American-sounding accent to me. Interesting, as I don't think he ever went to school here.

Last week a nature-themed birthday performance was held in Amsterdam; many members of the royal family attended.
that is rather unfortunate but then we don't know the ins and outs of the relationship or family history.
Has King Willem-Alexander signed the decree confirming Hugo's name change to (Zijne Koninklijke Hoogheid Carlos Hugo Roderik Sybren prins de Bourbon de Parme) and entry to the Dutch Nobility?

There is no such Royal Decree and on the website of the Hoge Raad van Adel (the High Council of Nobility) there is no mention of it either. It is Carlos himself who has to start a procedure to be incorporated into the Adelslijst (List of Nobility).
It is also possible that a Royal Decree simply is not published in full in the State Gazette but is only mentioned by number. Maybe that happened with Carlos' incorporation.
I suspect he already did so, without any publicity.
I think it has already happened, but only the necessities. So actually the latter thing that you mention.
Maybe. We could only hope for the best. But the question now is, since the Dutch law and the royal decree's scope is for Hugo to have de Bourbon de Parme as surname with accompanying style and rank and an entry to the Dutch nobility, has it been made known if he will also get the same treatment in the House of Bourbon Parma considering their own house rules and regulations per se (of which the Dutch law has no access to)?
Is there any news about Princess Irene these days? I don't think I've seen anything about her in more than a year. I wonder if she's still involved in the Nature College in South Africa.
She has released books, given Ted talks, and appeared at seminars, so I was curious if she is still doing those things.
Had a quick search and found her as ambassador for 'grandparents for climate', this article is fairly recent
this is the google translated link (hope it works)

Recently the Princess was seen with her eldest daughter Princess Margarita at the Orpheus Theatre in Apeldoorn: https://media.gettyimages.com/id/14...=1S3c1YGBpa0xJc0EielpMX78N6yQIbP6IQgPxPKP2mU=
She's looking good! And, it's nice to see her with Margarita, who must be going through a difficult time, given her divorce.
