went there once with a couple of friends, remember tuf tuffing in an old brokendown car, (an "eend") around a circular flower bed. A friend of ours was a nanny to a few grandchildren of juliana. Remember very heavy lace curtains, think in the long arcade with windows and how beautifull they were, probably because they were the real 19th century thing and excactly right for the place they were.
Marengo said:I fear the same. Ity is said the PoO finds it to 'open', so the palace lacks privacy. It will be hard for Beatrix to part from Huis ten Bosch, where she spend most of her married life, but I think it is most likely she will retire to Drakensteyn. I really wonder what they will do to Soesdijk and fear the worst, especially it is the palace I like best (not for the architectonial beauty but it seems a 'friendly' palace, and is connnected to Queen Juliana of course).
