All over the media here in the Netherlands. Queen Beatrix will make an annoucement at 19:00 CET. It is not yet known what she is going to say. Either it is about her son prince Friso (in a coma since a skiing accident last year) or it’s about her retirement. Inside sources are saying she is going to retire April 30th this year.

I tend to be one or two monarchs behind the times.

Noting you’re in the Netherlands, would that perhaps be Juliana?

Plane spotter alert, AMS 30APR!
Tonight (28JAN 19:00 CET) the Queen is going to make a “major announcement”. What exactly is not yet known. Insiders are saying she will step down from the throne 30APR.
If true, expect loads of interesting government movements at AMS and RTM. Book your flights and hotels while they are still cheap-ish!
