Strikingly quiet Prinsjesdag and short throne speech, Budget Memorandum presented in the Lower House

Prinsjesdag 2025 has been remarkably quiet so far. King Willem-Alexander has read the throne speech in the Royal Schouwburg in The Hague. He called for cooperation after the cabinet trap, among other things. Then the royal family went back to the Noordeinde Palace for the traditional balcony scene. The day ended with offering the Budget Memorandum in the Lower House. Follow everything, from hordes of Oranjefans to offering the briefcase, in our live blog.
