HM has chosen to hand over to a younger generation on Queensday this year. She has decided to do so as she her age is getting on and this year we celebrate 200 years of monarchy. HM did express her wish to keep on meeting many people after her reign and thanked the people for letting her be their queen. She also mentioned prince Claus. I don't get the sadness some seem to feel with this news. I just feel gratefull to her and her dedication and happy she's been able to do things the way she wants to. One particular piece of news: the PM spoke of the future King and Queen Maxima so we'll have TM the King and Queen of the Netherlands after Beatrix abdicates.
