Luuk Ikink strongly suspects that Antoon and Princess Alexia do not have a deep love relationship, but that he sees her more as a so-called ‘kwarrel’, a quality free-range. “I think so.”
It’s a bit lame: Eva Jinek and Antoon had decided this week to beat around the bush live on television about his alleged relationship with Princess Alexia. “Aran, why doesn’t she just ask the question: ‘Are you in a relationship with Princess Alexia?’ That is a very easy question!”, Luuk Ikink wonders RTL Boulevard.

Reporter Aran Bade also doesn’t understand why Eva is making such a fuss about it. “It seems like an easy question, but many people find it extremely difficult.”
Luuk: “But not to Antoon?! If you ask her it’s a bit strange, with the king there and all, that’s annoying, but…”
Bridget Maasland: “Isn’t it true that agreements have been made behind the scenes, such as: you are not allowed to ask about that?”
RVD-like
Aran thinks that Antoon is making such a fuss about it because Alexia is part of the royal family. “Yes, I think that it is a kind of RVD-like situation. She also said at one point: ‘I am not going to climb this Kilimanjaro’, as if it is a very difficult subject.”
He continues: “Just ask, ‘How is Alexia?’ Then he can’t help but say: ‘Nice’, or: ‘I don’t want to say anything about that.’ He didn’t deny it at all, did he? He was very vague.”
Kwarrel
Luuk suspects that Antoon sees Alexia as a fool. “He actually says that it is, or at least that they have some kind of relationship. A quarrel, I think. Or a prela, that is also possible.”
Aran: “It is very difficult for him, because he will be asked this question in every interview, so it does hinder his career a bit.”
AvroTros angry
Why didn’t Eva just ask him point-blank? Aran: “The strange thing is: we asked AvroTros if there was a restriction and they got a bit angry.”
The AvroTros said: “Eva simply asked the question. We cannot confirm whether agreements or restrictions have been made in advance about this. If you would like to inquire further about this, you can contact Antoon’s management.”
