Wilfred Genee has a spicy gossip spread over Queen Máxima in today, the most viewed talk show in the Netherlands. She would hate Princess Laurentien. “Tension!”
The past weekend was dominated by King Willem-Alexander’s birthday and that is why royalty expert Rick Evers was on today’s bar stool Inside. At one point it is about Prince Constantijn, the youngest brother of King Willem-Alexander. According to Wilfred Genee, he is not exactly exactly happy.
Irritations
Wilfred has learned that Constantijn not amused Is over his role in the royal family. “Is there also a certain irritation? I hear stories that he is sometimes a bit offended that he has so few royal tasks,” he says in Today Inside.
Rick then says: “I have heard that they … Princess Laurentien and Constantijn first lived in Brussels and they would come to the Netherlands to be able to do more work for the royal family, but in practice you see that little ends up.”
Máxima pissed off?
Wilfred wonders if that information is correct. “But is that story true that he finds that annoying?”
Rick: “I have heard that indeed that someone is in the way within the family.”
Johan Derksen: “And who is that?”
Wilfred: “Yes, who do you think?”
Rick: “I’m not going to mention names.”
Wilfred: “You also come home, then you also know how that works or not? Máxima I assume, right?”
“Could be”
Rick then confirms that more or less. “That could be. At Prinsjesdag, for example, you saw that the hurray was not warm for the king for Laurentien, so to speak, so there is frustration, I think.”
Wilfred: “But Máxima do you think or not? Is it a bit in between?”
Rick: “He must have come up with a role for her own daughters.”
Wilfred: “But there is some tension within the family, to put it that way?”
Yourself queen
There is no extreme fight, says Rick. “Well, I don’t know if there is really something going on and I think she will also be just invited to Máxima’s party in a few weeks, so that will be better than expected, but I can also imagine that they do not flatten the door, no.”
He continues: “I think those cousins from Apeldoorn, the four sons of Margriet and Pieter, that all is fine, but I have the idea that it is less with Constantijn and Willem-Alexander.”
Finally, Johan Derksen: “That Laurentien would have preferred to have been a queen himself!”
Rick: “Yes, maybe indeed.”
