: Well, I guess most ardent Dutch royal watchers
: over 40 know about Juliana being
: (handsomely!) compensated for paying her own
: staff out of her own pocket (own
: bank-account) until the government organised
: all royal allowances / apanages in the
: '60's/'70's.
: However, the fact that the RF until this
: very day still is being refunded
: (overcompensated..!!) by the State for the
: interest they pay over their private fortune
: was new to most.
: Had it not been for the fact that those
: documents were recently required to be kept
: behind lock & key for many more decades,
: no-one would have found out. As it is, this
: secret deal, instignated by PB (who else )
: has been kept a secret for over 43 years!
:
: After all the upheaval surrounding the
: pending apanage to Catherine-Amalia many are
: putting BIG question marks here about the
: way the Royals are getting extra financial
: security with full approval of the PM.
:
: And let's not forget the fact that Beatrix'
: sisters Irene & Christina both had
: special Foundations in tax-free 'paradises',
: administrered from Palace Noordeinde but
: later on removed to another location. But
: the very fact they wanted to be exempt from
: paying taxes is telling enough. The 4
: Soestdijk Princesses inherited millions from
: their parents (incl. the 2 'extra' sisters)
: so it is not as if they are lacking funds
