Works on Drakenstyen Castle do not really go unnoticed.The castle gets a long needed extensive overhaul,moreover as it is deemed the future residence of HM,again,after a possible abdication.But that is pure speculation at present!It was here that she and Prince Claus spend the happiest times with the children.
A high fence was placed,much to the discontent of the villagers of Lage Vuursche who thought it HM's doing.It is not.
It is a security measure imposed on her by the Government.It might not look all that nice now,but it will be overgrown by nature in due time.The fence is "standard" at Royal residences,you can see the very same in the garden of Soestdijk Palace.
Different times call for,very,different measures,unfortunately.But we wouldn't like to end up regretting we didn't take enough measures now would we?Inspite all the Diana van Drakensteyn's.She's the,"eccentric" sister of the former owner who sold the Castle to the then Princess and opposes the fence,as it ruins the village view.Not that towards the Castle itself,that always was inviseble in the middle of nature.
