QuoteStrong Dutch presence at next week's Davos meeting

There will be a strong Dutch presence at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2017 which opens next Tuesday in Davos, Switzerland. More than 3,000 government leaders, business chiefs and scientists from around the world will settle in the mountaintop town for the meeting which is noted for its secrecy. The theme this year is responsive and responsible leadership. Prime minister Mark Rutte will head the Dutch government delegation, the Telegraaf reported on Friday. Rutte will be accompanied by finance minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, foreign trade and development aid minister Lilianne Ploumen, defence minister Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert and health minister Edith Schippers.

So wanted to just from America returned prince say to find good humor of the satirical program Saturday Night Live, but statements and the qualities of forthcoming presidential Donald Trump said nothing.

While the UK and the Netherlands have their monarchs read a government prepared speech from the throne, not all of them have their royal families participate. In Sweden, Norway and Denmark the royal family is present but the PM typically is the one to read the speech and the royals sit in a gallery.
In the UK the royals are in gala wear but in the Netherlands it's long dresses for the ladies and hats while the gentlemen are in morning suits. The royals in the NL are seen bowing to the royal standard prior to entering the Grote Kerk.

This year due to COVID 19 restrictions, there were no large crowds gathering.

The Dutch government has agreed to review the annual cost of its Royal Family, the House of Orange-Nassau, following pressure from the opposition party.

Yet Prime Minister Mark Rutte has expressed concerns that revealing the exact amount that King Willem-Alexander and his wife Queen Maxima receive from the Dutch taxpayer might spark calls for a vote on the costs of the monarchy.

Every now and again the subject of the cost of this Royal family rears up, both in the political arena in the Netherlands and out of it. They are certainly among the most expensive monarchies to maintain, more so than the British, though of course they are funded differently, and much more so than any of the Scandi royal Houses. So perhaps in today's economic climate some corners could be cut, but not too drastically.
