Defence spent less on royal yacht
The ministry of defence spent €186,000 on maintaining queen Beatrix’s boat de Groene Draek, not €304,000 as earlier reported, defence minister Eimert van Middelkoop told MPs on Wednesday evening.
The cost of air transport for the royal family had been underestimated, Van Middelkoop said, without providing alternative figures.
