Abdication of Queen Beatrix and the enthronement of her son Willem-Alexander in the spring of this year not only marked the arrival of the first monarch to the Dutch throne after more than a hundred and twenty jp donleavy years of continuous removal ruler, but also a significant shift in political engagement lineage Van Oranje-Nassau. If you are Beatrix and her ancestors interfere in personnel issues of political government, it was announced, the successor to its mandate is strictly limited to ceremonial paraphernalia and protocol duties. Narrowing the field of political struggle is not it demotiviralo. "You can have a meaningful rule and no formal role in the formation of the government.

Less than half a year later, the first significant event to visit, Willem-Alexander clearly demonstrates what it stands for and what is considered important for the Netherlands.
