Royalty connoisseur Rick Evers, known from today Inside,, like Sandra Schuurhof, complains about the Madrid trip of Princess Amalia. “The airline tickets were really very expensive.”
It was kept secret until the last minute: Princess Amalia’s visit to the Spanish capital Madrid. She opened some tulip garden on Monday to thank her stay in the city when she was threatened. Since the security is still strict, the trip on the press was also announced shortly in advance.
Rick Pissed
SBS 6 had bought tickets for Sandra Schuurhof in a hurry – who had to fly up and down to Madrid in one day – but she was not amused. She thinks she should travel very far to see Princess Amalia in action for twelve minutes. “We were not allowed to ask questions. A pity if you travel all the way to Madrid.”
And her fellow royalty fan Rick Evers is therefore not happy either. As a royal family reporter you have to wait a long time, he writes in the Weekendbut: “The trip from Princess Amalia to Madrid, which perhaps the crown was tight. Only a week in advance did the RVD announce to us as media that the big day would start.”
Problem
That is the big problem for Rick. “Those who sometimes book a trip knows: the longer you can book, the cheaper. The hotel prices and the rates for airline tickets rise, the closer to the date. The last tickets, the last rooms, which are most expensive.”
Rick was therefore hunted by Amalia. “I decided to take a cheaper ticket and travel in early a day before, to be cheaper than in the day itself. I had a day off in the beautiful city. Amalia didn’t have that, this time.”
Funeral
According to Rick’s visit, Amalia did not last twelve minutes, as Sandra says, but eleven minutes. “In my fifteen years as a royal family reporter, I cannot remember that a visit has been so short. Let’s hope it will not be a new standard,” he brands.
In the end, Rick said he had no choice. He has to go to Madrid. “Because it is the very first foreign journey that Amalia,” he says. “It sounds bizarre, but these images may be removed from the archive until her funeral.”
