Apparently the heir's wife will have to sign the abdication contract thing too, making her a fully-fledged Queen and not just the King's Consort.

Dang Dutch, getting two head of states! We shall get three!

A very special kind of democracy of course. I mean, never anything I've seen.

To quote the old deposed Egyptian King:
Quote from: Farouk
"The whole world is in revolt. Soon there will be only five Kings left — the King of Spades, the King of Clubs, the King of Hearts, the King of Diamonds, and the King of England."

Very true, even about the fact that it homed in directly on England rather than Britain as a whole.

Because of a disinformation campaign by the Cornwall Independence Movement.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

No need for a new world order, you already did that in the 19th century.

But yes, I do wonder how the new King will fare - will he oversee the end of the Dutch monarchy and the return to a republic, or will he become very popular indeed?

They are the true Britons, the Welsh are merely charlatans.

But feminists will tell you it's a true patriarchy, what with it's Queen, Female Prime Minister, Female party leaders of all government parties and even a female spokesperson for the support party!

For shame for us terribly sexist Danes, we must at once limit male parents rights even further!

As for the Dutch queen, is it because of health issues or is she just getting lazy?
