Queen Abdicates

In Holland

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22348160

Seems to be the done thing there with two other Queens stepping aside since 1948.

Doubt it will ever happen in the UK

  • It is going to feel strange wishing my Dutch friends a happy Kings day from now on...
  • It is weird watching other European countries with their monarchies. None seem to be nearly as active as ours but none seem to have as hard a a time justifying their existance as ours do.

    Hollands Queen uses public transport and shops in M & S...so a little bit different.

    Oi you DRF Bloke! This isnt a Royal spotting competition, but it could be. How about I start a new thread "How many queens have you seen today" nope, that won't work. :-)
