25 years Queen Beatrix |

On April 30, the Dutch queen celebrates her birthday with a huge popular feast day. This year it is 25 years ago that Beatrix came into power. A night and a day of festivities is organised for the Dutch Queen. On her birthday Beatrix gets a special welcome in the Parliament in The Hague. All members of parliament are accompanied by a Dutch 25 year old to symbolise the jubilee. The ARD follows two of the 25 year olds before and during the ceremony. In the streets of The Hague people give their view on the status of the Monarchy and the popularity of the Queen.
