While many in this country are out marching for “No Kings Day”, the Netherlands is currently celebrating Kings Day.

Kings Day was created in the 1800s when the monarchy was under siege and not quite well liked. So they distracted… by creating a day to celebrate a five-year old princess. Who would possibly get mad at a give-year old princess?

Princess Beatrix married a former German solider following World War II, which caused disgruntlement as well, so the holiday was renewed in many ways to stymie discontent with the monarchy. Once Beatrix became queen, it became an annual tradition for the Queen or King to visit several places in the Netherlands on the day of celebration. (Presumably this helps them stay in touch with the people, I suppose, but I wouldn’t know, as I’m not Dutch.)

This map shows every place visited on a yearly basis by Queen Beatrix and her son, Willem-Alexander, the current king – if my information serves me correctly.

Happy Koningsdag! I wonder where the king will visit this year! (Drumroll… suspense… anticipation…)
