Nu.nl will not publish the forbidden video of Princess Alexia if they are offered. “If someone has this video … I mean: we’re not going to publish it, but I want to see it.”
Princess Alexia stepped into the car at Singer Antoon just after the balcony scene on Prinsjesdag in front of a full terrace. An eyewitness made a video of it, started a bidding war between the gossip magazines and eventually the private life ran away. He unpacked the news immediately, although they did not dare to show the images at first.
Where is the video?
Only when the Government Information Service had held up for a week did Evert Evert dare to do some still from the video on the front page of his weekly magazine. But the video itself? We still have not seen that, not even on the De Telegraaf site, a sister brand of the private. Probably to test the boundaries of the RVD.
Lara Zevenberg, Chef Entertainment from NU.nl, wonders what the images say at all. “I don’t know. I have read anything and everything on juice channels, that it is not so bad and that they are just friends,” she says in The backbag podcast.
Unrucked
If they are only friends, the news value is more limited. Podcasthost Roos de Ridder: “That is of course also possible. It actually says nothing at all.”
Lara: “No, but yes, it is of course nice.”
Roos: “What I also like and you always think so, is that stars look up and find each other or something, do you understand what I mean?”
Lara: “I think Antoon and Alexia sound nice together. Double A. “
“I want to see it!”
Nu.nl will not publish the video, but they would like to see it on the editors. Lara: “If anyone has this video … I mean: we’re not going to publish it, but I want to see it.”
Roos: “No, we’re not going to publish it either. Yes, we want to see it. DM us.”
Lara: “Yes, but really!”
Roos: “But we are not going to publish it, anyway? We wouldn’t do that either.”
Lara: “No, but also because I just think it’s important that those girls still have some of their privacy. It’s not just about the media code.”
Shit on the code
It can have enough news value later, says Roos. “Suppose they get married later, then it is nice if you have the video. Then you might think: we are sorry about that code, because you are getting married now.”
Lara: “Yes, from: here it originated, in a car.”
Who does shit on the media code? The men of gossip talk. “If you send the images to us, we will show them,” says Dennis Schouten in the program.
Jan Roos: “Yes, very simple: I would show them every day of the week!”
