During the state banquet, Princess Amalia for the Sultan of Oman was very annoyed by former Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende, according to images of RTL Boulevard. “How do I get rid of that man?”
The Sultan of Oman was in the country and especially for him and his entourage a state banquet was organized, in which, in addition to the royal couple, Amalia Crown Princess was present. On such an opportunity, an incredible number of hands are shaken and Amalia also had to believe it: one after the other handshake passed by. One bobo after the other.
Quick handshake
Former prime minister Jan Peter Balkenende was also present and instead of a quick handshake, he really sticked to Amalia for a few seconds. He thought he could have a chat for dinner, but the princess clearly didn’t feel like it. She gives him a nod several times with the aim of allowing him to walk through.
Royalty expert Jeroen Snel in RTL Boulevard: “Yes, the Minister of State, so he’s going to talk to Amalia, but he just keeps talking and Amalia thinks: I want to get rid of it, so he nods from: get out. Máxima says,” Yes, that took a long time. “
Next Level
It is one faux pass From Jan Peter, says Jeroen. “Look, I sometimes gave a hand at a reception where you were also welcome as a press, and then … if they ask:” How are you? “, Then it’s not intended that you’re going to hang a whole story. Then you just say:” Good, with you too? ” I know how it works. “
“The point is with Amalia … this is actually next level. She is now very good at the protocol and how it works, she does that perfectly, but now she has to get that flexibility, a little improvising, from: how do I turn such a man?”
