I'm Dutch-Indo. All three of my children are dual citizens, just like their Mama.

This is huge for us in our household. It's a wonderful day to have a king after 300 years of queens in our monarchy. Queen Beatrix was an exceptional and super-intelligent queen {she elected to keep Queen's Day on her mother's birthday rather than change it to her own} and I hope her son has learned well from his mother.
