The Queen’s Birthday

April 30 is a national holiday in the Netherlands. The Queen’s birthday is actually on the 31st of January. All through history the Dutch Royal family has been very popular and their birthdays have been celebrated with enthusiasm.  As of 1898, Queen Wilhelmina’s 18th birthday, this day has been officially referred to as koninginnedag. April 30th officially became koninginnedag when Queen Juliana changed the date to her own birthday.

This photo above was taken during her visit in my place. On stage is my eldest daughter Deborah waved her hand to the Queen. What an amazing experience isn’t it?   It was a very nice experienced to see the Royal Family in person.
