The
recent news of the abdication of the Queen of the Netherlands prompted me to recall
an old blog
post of my meeting with Willem-Alexander, Prince of Orange, heir to the throne of the Kingdom
of the Netherlands (and his mother Queen Beatrix 60% share in Royal Dutch Shell).
From the news we read that, “Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, the
oldest reigning Dutch monarch, announced her abdication on Monday evening in a
sudden move three days before her 75th birthday. After 33 years on the throne
Beatrix said she would relinquish the crown at the end of April. The abdication
secures the Dutch throne for Crown-Prince Willem-Alexander at the age of 45.”
I read about the vast wealth that the
continent has afforded to the Netherlands, and the many kingdoms that came
before it. I wondered if there is some connection between the tragedies
befalling the clan and the reasons behind her abdication. The unassuming Prince
(as he was) and the power and riches he is about to inherit, along with the Bilderberg
pass.
Really quickly I came across a nice picture, courtesy
of Ashlee Buczek, of the African Queen in Mali. So, like all ‘there’s no such thing
as coincidence’ mantras, North Africa suddenly appeared to sway to the synchronistic
beat. After the recent Mali interventions, and the Algerian hostage crisis, I wonder
if the Queen has decided to jump ship.

Orange is the colour, Beatrix is her name! The
crowds cheer in their currently high-sync wigs, before the fatal car crash ‘attack’ that missed the royals in 2009.
