An excellent and insightful article, Pieter. As both an ex-pat and a monarchist, I couldn’t agree more with your perspective. It’s funny, because in the days of my youth, Brits weren’t at all interested in the tabloids (if there were any). My late parents were horrified at the massive change before they passed on.

I like the sound of the Dutch monarchy and their attitude. Thank you for sharing!

Would love to have your perspective on that other, and much older, royal family the Japanese Imperial family.
