Princess Laurentien spoke to magazine 'Libelle'. She says that after 22 years she still thinks she is married to the ';eukste' (nicest?) man in the universe. 'That is really how I feel'. They have a 'deep connection through our values. In the morning while brushing teeth we are already discussing society (samenleving).

In 3 years she will celebrate her 60th birthday. For now she still looks at thta age 'with surprise'. 'I some way I still have the illusion that I am still very young. Sixty feels like "next level" but I enjoy pointing it out. Because if things go well we all turn sixty at one point'.

'Laurentien van Oranje' it is, according to the headline. At least she is having fun but I do not think these kind of second-rate glamour things are particulary useful. The Princess did focus on other women in the edition itself, so that is good and perhaps less narcisistic than it seems.

She looks great on that cover!

Agreed, and the hairstyle on the cover is one that suits her well. Nice to see her mother, Mrs. Jantien Brinkhorst, there.

An extremely generous method developed by a Foundation started by and with active involvement of princess Laurentien (called 'the Laurentien method') to compensate the 'benefit parents' (a term used for those who were unfairly cut in their government allowances) is likely to cost the Dutch tax payers an additional 5 billion euros. Parents are even compensated (the average amount is 128.000 EURO) if the got a letter telling them they would be cut but ended up not being cut at all. So, while everyone in 'political The Hague' agrees that compensation needs to be given, the total costs are getting out of hand according to a secret note by the Ministry of Finance.

The state secretary responsible for the handling of the benefits affairs says in response to the revelations in the article mentioned above that the 'Laurentien method' is still in a pilot phase. At the end of the month a decision will be made on continuation. However, others point out that money has already been reserved to continue this pilot on a much larger scale.
