    It's official - Queen abdicates!

    "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
    Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands announced Monday that she would abdicate in favour of her son...after 33 years in power.
    "In power"? In the constitutional monarchy of The Netherlands?

    A savvy reporter, eh!

    (Didn't fool me though because I heard it more accurately on the BBC last night.)
