Kings day in the Netherlands “Maastricht”
Today is King's Day.
Then it's our King Willem Alexander's birthday. The Royal House celebrates this every year in a different city in the Netherlands.
Today it was Maastricht. That is the capital of the province of Limburg. I don't believe it happens anywhere in the world like it is celebrated with us. They celebrate it with the people and among the people. They walk a route of about 2 km. through the city, shaking hands, taking selfies with bystanders. There is a celebration and regional things are proposed. The royals act like "Ordinary" people. haha.
I have circled a photo. That's our little one and our son-in-law. They were filmed up close by the cameraman. Our Daughter with her husband and grandson of ours were there live. I watched it on TV. I took all the photos in front of the TV, edited them and made them into a collage to give you an idea of how our king's birthday is celebrated here in the Netherlands. Orange is the color of our royal family.
Maastricht is 30 km from my hometown. So it feels a bit like a home game. Haha. And we are also proud that our capital has presented itself so well.
