Henri I have had classes in constitutional law in Leiden so i guess i know a bit more about it than you do as Eindhoven doesn't have constitutional law as part of its schooling.
What i tried to convey to you is that allthough constitutional change has been limited and rather slow in the past, that doesn't mean it always has to be so.In theory it can be done in a few months. As society changes also the way the political arena works changes. In the last two decades it's become evident that the old way of doing things doesn't work and allready it has an effect on how politicians try to bring across their message and gain votes.
With a growing number of people becoming less thrilled with the next sovereign especially the likelyhood of constitutional changes to the role of the monarch increases. It must be very telling if people from across the political spectre all agree that certain priveleges the Royals enjoy should be curtailed. You might see that as a cheap shot on their behalf, i tend to view it as a signal that the monarchy is in serious trouble.
