QuoteA song for the new king, inspired by texts contributed by members of the public, had its first airing on Friday, sung by the likes of Marco Borsato and Trijntje Oosterhuis and with a rap from Lange Frans.

The music of the song for king Willem-Alexander was composed by John Ewbank and has been criticised for its similarity to Matt Redman's 10.000 Reasons.

The song will be sung at a concert in the Ahoy stadium on April 30 to celebrate Willem-Alexander's investiture.

QuoteFirst Glitch for King: King's Song Withdrawn

The scorn of an entire nation was too much for British-Dutch composer John Ewbank. Saturday night he posted a message on Facebook announcing he was withdrawing his newly minted 'Koningslied' (Kings Song). The song will not be sung as intended on 30 April to mark the inauguration of King Willem-Alexander.

The song which was to be sung by the entire population at 7:30 PM on Tuesday April 30, was hardly presented Friday when a tsunami of protests came over Ewbank and his fellow composers. Criticism came in two ways: the text was lambasted, and condemned by teachers, linguists, and writers, and the composition too - a mix of classic, rap andchoir music - was rejected. The video clip too did not meet with much approval.

QuoteThe song was greeted by a storm of criticism when it was made public on Friday and on Sunday composer John Euwbank said he had had enough and was pulling out.
But on Monday evening, theatre impresario Joop van den Ende, one of the members of the organising committe, said plans to sing the song to the new king on April 30 would go ahead as originally planned.

QuotePrince Willem-Alexander becomes king of the Netherlands on 30 April, when his 75-year-old mother abdicates.

Born on 27 April 1967 as the first child of Queen Beatrix and the late Prince Claus, the Prince of Orange will be the first male head of state of the Netherlands since 1890.

His kingdom spans two continents and is made up of four countries: Aruba, Curacao and Sint Maarten in the Caribbean as well as the Netherlands in Europe.

The prince has said that as king he wants to strike a balance between upholding tradition and embracing change, which could include accepting a smaller role in Dutch politics.

QuoteUnique Royal Gathering in Amsterdam (Guest List)

It will be the largest gathering of foreign royalty in recent Dutch history. Maybe not in number of guests, as weddings tend to get more members of one family joining in the festivities, but certainly in number of monarchies represented. It is certainly a reflection of the appreciation and respect for Queen Beatrix, and for her son, Prince Willem-Alexander.

Just one day ahead of Queen Beatrix' farewell dinner at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Dutch Court finally released the list of royal and foreign guests. An A-list, with ALL of Europe's heirs *) under one roof Tuesday. Unique, as usually at least one is missing. The Prince of Wales missed almost all of the royal weddings, though he did come to the wedding of Willem-Alexander and Máxima in 2002.

Not only are all *) the European Crown Princes and Crown Princesses attending, many of their peers from the around the globe will be present as well. And here too the line-up is as unusual as it is exceptional. Japan sends its Crown Princely couple, for Crown Princess Masako her first official overseas engagement in 11 years. Thailand, Brunei and Bahrain are represented by their Crown Princess, Jordan by its former Crown Prince (and close friend of the Dutch royal family), Qatar and Morocco send the royal spouses.

The guest list as announced by the Dutch Court:
