Operation for Queen Beatrix

Queen Beatrix has had an operation for cataracts on her right eye, the state information service RVD said on Friday.


The operation was performed at a clinic and the queen was allowed home immediately afterwards. The RVD would not say which clinic.
‘The queen is doing very well,’ said a spokeswoman.
Queen Beatrix is due to attend the closing afternoon of the European Championship Dressage in Rotterdam on Sunday, and the RVD said there is no reason she should not be there.
