: That was over 10 years ago though Johan.
: Everything seemed to have gone well. I'm
: inclined to agree with Marianne on her
: observations of the perceived 'star-status'
: of the royal couple and their unwillingness
: to share the spot light.

: I think the Royal couple are starting to
: feel
: more secure in their role. The imagined
: thread of Constantijn and Laurentien
: outshining them may hark back to the time
: when the relationship of the Royal couple
: was getting serious and it wasn't sure that
: they would get consent. Some sources
: reported that the wedding of Constantijn and
: Laurentien was beefed up in case they would
: need to step in as the future Royal couple
: (Friso not wanting to become king had been
: clear for decades by that time).

: Frankly I don't think Princess Laurentien
: needs to expand any 'royal' profile, as she
: has been known and admired for her many
: talents and her energetic way of drawing
: attention to various groups in our society
: for a great many years!
: She is earning her own income, conducting
: her own company as well as performing on
: behalf of the institutions that have
: captured her heart (helping the illiterate
: for example !!) plus she is always available
: when it comes to royal duties.
:
: Princess Margriet has also acknowledged
: Laurentien's many talents by handing over
: some of her own charities to her, knowing
: they will be taken good care of!
:
: To be honest, if you just take a look at
: this Board and see how often Princess
: Laurentien features here you will know she
: is in huge demand !
: A bigger official role for Prince
: Constantijn & his wife only and solely
: depends on the present King and I -
: personally - think thère lies a bigger
: problem as neither the King, and especially
: his Evita seem to be inclined wanting to
: share their "star-status" with
: anyone else around in the RF at the moment
: ....
: Just my impression & opinion though!
