Thanks useful information: 1
"Queen gives up throne for son"
was the image caption on Yahoo7 website, and
"Dutch Queen Beatrix to abdicate in favour of son"
was the headline.
The article contained
"In power"? In the constitutional monarchy of The Netherlands?Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands announced Monday that she would abdicate in favour of her son...after 33 years in power.
A savvy reporter, eh!
(Didn't fool me though because I heard it more accurately on the BBC last night.)

CC, Image editing OK.
I'm surprised they didn't mention the Central Western NSW connection...(perhaps leaving it for New Idea?)...
"It is with the greatest of confidence, that I will hand over the throne on April 30 to my son, Willem Alexander, Prince of Orange," Beatrix said in a televised address

Some Nikon stuff. I shoot Mirrorless and Mirrorlessless.
Wow, I didn't know about the royalty a little down the road.Originally Posted by fillum

Well, if at first you don't secede, you'll never become a prince? Go on, make it the March of Mark.
Only 30 days left to go, then it'll be Mark in March...... Go on, make it the March of Mark.
Just think of the furor this would have caused if Crown Prince Willem Alexander was Prince of Banana's!!

If we are going to talk about Queens and royalty, perhaps you should all start addressing me by my rightful title

Thank you. Seriously, I own some land in Scotland that along with that land comes the title. I have my own crest, registered tartan etc. Not something I use in everyday conversation in Australia cause it tends to make people think I am a pretentious ####er...I am tugging my forelock at this moment, Sir!
