And I thought this article was all about the life of Beatrix Potter. Should have finished reading it before hitting send. By V | November 4, 2011 1:19 AM We were among the first the abolish the monarchy in Europe (Spanish Crown) and we were also among the first to re-install the monarchy (van Oranje-Nassau). My sincere apologies to my ancestors. By BrianVanR | November 4, 2011 11:59 PM @Quest By V | November 5, 2011 5:59 PM

Lang zal zij leven in de gloria... as an undemocratic head of state sucking masses of cash from her "subjects" and gaining huge wealth from from her investments that the citizens paid for. Not to mention the dodgy dealings of many family members.
Don't worry Dutch News, I know you won't post this, because there is no freedom of speech here. Beatrix would not approve of that, would she?
