In the mean time,political parties stopped discussing the issues last week with the debate.
And no,the Heir and his/her spouse will be able to travel as usual.
Political parties should do more then getting an easy score on issues concerning the Monarchy,there's a lot more to be done here but I don't see them do it.That was why they were voted,to work,for us,not to get cheap scores over the Monarchy.They will also loose that,the support doesn't dwindle,not even now.I don't live with superficial hyped-up polls.Getrut while the leaves are falling.
Maybe you don't get all the news where you are in Belgium.......
And on Bernhard.What's juicier then to milk a story like that to the max,an Orange racing and showing the racing genes that run in the family?
Paying for it all himself,no-ones business except his and his only,and of his family ofcourse.And then to exagerate it to make it even juicyer.That girl shouldn't race if she can't handle her loss or doesn't have the right techninique to drive at all maybe.On racingcircuits that is ofcourse,things like that happen all the time,but then the surname isn't van Oranje so not worth mentioning at all.
