    His reply is why the monarchy is a good thing, even setting aside all the secondary benefits that having a monarchy grants you.
    No elected official could ever represent the country as a whole, since they only represent those that voted for them. But because the king is not elected nor part of any political party he can be above political differences and represent the nation as a whole, a reminder that above all else we are all Dutch, and a symbol for what that entails.

Ik probeer een andere taal te leren op het moment en het lijkt een onmogelijke taak, soms gooi ik alle boeken in een hoek en denk ik dit gaat nooit lukken.

    Cool video! Love the content. Small correction, 30 april wasn't actually the birthday of princes Beatrix, it was actually the birthday of princes Juliana. When Beatrix inherited the throne, she chose to keep "koninginnendag" on the 30e of april. This was in honor of her mother. In addition, she also though that the weather was not as good in january. Wich, in my opinion, seems a good argument. Princes Beatrix herself was born on de 31e of january. Don't know if the comment was already made, but I thought you'd like to know. 😊 Hope to see more! Btw, I'm Dutch, don't know if you like your comment in English or Netherlands. 😂

      Hey! Thank you for sharing this😃I was actually already aware of this and I intentionally made sure not to say that April 30th was her birthday, I was just trying to point out how that was the date for her "Queen's Day" celebration. But I could've made that more clear😃 en maak niet uit of je wilt in Engels of Nederlands schrijven!😃

    • @joostvanassenbergh180
      @joostvanassenbergh180 Před rokem +4

      Tiny addition about the naming of ex-monarchs. As you used correctly in your comment, when a monarch abdicates their title is reverted to being prince or princess, so like you said it is princess Beatrix. However when an ex-monarch dies their title reverted once more to being king or queen again. So you do say queen Juliana.

    Straight to the point, I have a suggestion for you for another video. You know 5 mei? Dutch freedom day. I'd really recommend you come to Wageningen this year or the next. It is in my opinion the most important celebration next to kings day, maybe even more important. We celebrate the day WW2 ended, and it was signed in Wageningen. It's a free festival, we have a parade with veterans and music stages all over the city. It is an amazing way and place to celebrate our freedom as a country and as individuals in a time of peace. I'd really like for you to come and see for yourself!

    Ik was aan het kijken op televisie en zag je staan. Ik zette hem snel op pauze en vertelde heel de familie: kijk, ik volg hem op youtube!
    En vervolgens zei ik: hij staat vlak naast de koning!! Echt, wat een geweldig moment voor je. Super trots dat ik dit allemaal live mag meemaken hoe je kanaal groeit en ontwikkelt. Nog even en ik kan tegen mensen zeggen: ik was erbij toen het allemaal begon met een klein youtube kanaal haha. Echt geweldig Sam, het is je gegund!

    Hi Sam en Linde, wat een prachtige video. Heb de hele tijd gekeken met een grote glimlach op mijn gezicht. Bedankt voor wat jullie hier gemaakt hebben. Deze video zou bij de NOS hebben moeten zijn. Wat geweldig hoe jullie Nederland laten zien door jullie ogen en op een positieve en niet oordelende manier. Jullie mogen echt trots op jezelf zijn. Ik ben het in ieder geval. Liefs en groetjes, Nicole Baaijens. Ja, de moeder van Eva van AYNIL 😘.

    Great video, you deserve the success man! The people wearing black were doing it in protest of the wealth gap/poverty levels in Rotterdam. It is the poorest city in NL, many people struggle to afford the basics there.
