His Royal Highness Prince Claus of the Netherlands has passed away today. He was Queen Beatrix's husband. A moment of silence..... |

He was ill for quite some time so at least he doesn't have to suffer anymore... I didn't really know him but he seemed like a nice person. |

well i'm no anarchist but this will not give me sleepless nights. Its sad if a person dies, but prince Claus was no god. He may have been a nice person, but so are millions of other people who die everyday. that sounded kinda cheesy, didnt it? |

I agree. He was a nice man, and the most interesting of the Dutch royal family by far.. BUT I didn't have any connection with him.. it was pretty scary how they announced it. I was watching television when suddenly the program gets interrupted with a voice saying: "now there will be a special newsprogramme", fade to black. in the 10 seconds till the news started I was thinking "WAR! THERE'S A WAR!".. ha ha. |

for fuck sake ,.are you guys serious? especially dutchies,....for the whole fucking day they've blocked normal Dutch TV programming to inform us about his death. Countless reruns of the same shit over and over. He died yes,.RIP condolensces to his family ,.the end. Why spend the rest off the evening on him. Like they really care,.fuck that ,.it's just politically correctness that they even spend time on it. and to think I don't even watch tv ,... fucking hypocrits |

didnt you know thats how the world works these days? dead people are the shit now. TV has gotten so mindbogglingly awful that they need things like this to wake people up. Sad but true, just like the entire LPF political situation. Its a good laugh for people who dont want to watch big brother. |

It's not like I felt personally connected to him in any way or something, but it's always feels kinda unreal if you see on TV a famous person has died (at least for me). |

I was serious in my earlier comment. I agree though on the ridiculous amount of tv-coverage on it. we live in a monarchy - this is one of the consequences. fun thing was to see how the public tv-stations switched to the news, and the commercial stations all dropped to their knees at different intervals.. |

Any sort of Royalty is a curiosity these days. All of Canada stopped this evening as Queen Elizabeth, in part of her celebration of her Golden Jubilee, dropped the opening puck in a Vancouver Canuck's hockey game... A hockey game... Wayne Gretzky was only barely behind her as she walked out onto the ice. Two figures of Royalty (at least in Canada). Guess who got the bigger applause... ...she seemed amused. |

i know what you mean :) those tv programmers were itching to finally broadcast the documentaries on his life and death they had lingering around for such a long time even claus himself mocked the media for all but pronouncing him dead for years on end. that said, he was a great guy, humorous till the end. respect is due. we'll mis him |

You have a monarchy? I thought we Brits had the only one left. Hmmm. Phiz: who be dat in yo avatar? |

Yes, but our is the only REAL monarchy. The others are merely pale imitations. Phiz: he was a comedian wasn't he? Or an actor? He looked like he had thyroid trouble with them eyes. |

What does REAL monarchy mean in this context? Having a German family rule your country? Is that it? |

Get this, the Prince of Wales is not even Welsh and neither was that pretender, Saint Diana. |

The royal family has almost no political power. They're like popstars who make things special when attending events("oh look: there's the queen!"), they vistit other countries to strengthen relations between countries. They can't have our heads removed or anything :) |

No, our taxes suffice. |
