The princess did not mince her words.
Starting tomorrow, The Story of the Netherlands can be seen on NPO 1, this time highlighting the Dutch royal family. Maker Daan Schuurmans spoke to none other than Beatrix about it, and now reveals what the princess had to say about the series.
Dutch history
The first season of The Story of the Netherlands started last year. A period from Dutch history was highlighted every week. A few months ago it was announced that the Oranjes will take center stage in the new season. According to a statement from NTR, the episodes will be about “a royal family with heroes and black sheep who are sometimes vilified and other times held in high esteem. Narrator Daan Schuurmans guides the viewer through history at home and abroad.”
Princess Beatrix
Eight episodes will be made about the history of the Oranges. In order to properly prepare the series, a visit to the palace was of course unavoidable. Daan Schuurmans says that Máxima and Willem-Alexander were both absent. Who was there? Bea!
When Daan saw the princess, he took the plunge. “I couldn’t resist shaking her hand.” He then told her about the program he was showing about the family of Oranje-Nassau. “She wished me the best of luck,” Daan laughs. “I thought that was funny.”
