Found it very interesting as it combined glimpses of both his private /family life, as well as his views on his professional life. However he is very much his mother's son in the way he carefully weights his wordings as well as he is (even more so!) his father's son in the way he used his diplomatical skills to avoid too much insight into his soul ....
Apart from the charming interactions within the family and the rather emotional scene when his brother Friso was discussed I was actually most impressed by the way the Prince worded his emotions when, as a teenager he had to move from sheltered Drakensteyn/Baarn to a new existence in The Hague + starting at a new school plus being the son of the Queen from then on.
The way he explained how he guarded himself - in a rather defense way (not unusual for teenagers btw!) was much more telling about the person Constantijn is!
Overall, a nice interview which showed us all just that (small) part of his personality he allows us all to see! An interesting man who certainly adds much flavour to the present royal family.
P.S. I have watched the interview twice and for those who may have missed it, it's still available for Dutch posters to view.
If only we could skipp those bl*sted adds in between though
