Monday April 27, starts at 10 AM Dutch Morn,
Majesty,
Congratulations on your 53rd birthday at home and we o.l.i.n.e. through the tube,
Your wish is that this is the very last King’s Day party at home,
this time we are not celebrating it in a certain chosen city / village, that would have been Maastricht (prov. Limburg) ,
but just at home and say Cheers in our backyard,
the mayor of Maastricht has already asked the cabinet the following year:
whether Maastricht may be the hostess again,
she will get an answer next summer,
she sincerely hopes it is allowed,
now back to the original message:
Kingsday celebrations at home,
in connection with the coronavirus pandemic,
King Willem-Alexander stands with his family, Queen Maxima and their three beautiful daughters Princess Amalia, Princess Alexia and Princess Ariane,
for their house Paleis Huis Ten Bosch and addresses the whole of the Netherlands,
that was 10 o’clock this morning, tonight at 8 o’clock there will be dancing in our own houses, toasting again with Oranje Bitter
(special drink only available on King’s Day)
Another very nice party at home in Paleis Ten Bosch,
Hip Hip Hooray!
Majesty in the Gloria!
