In the Netherlands, where ideas are soaring, there is something big to announce:
21st century! Heir to the Dutch throne, marriage is absolutely free!
The 17-year-old Crown Prince Amalia wants to find a same-sex partner, no problem.
The same goes: if a male heir wants to marry a man of the same sex, there absolutely can be.
Marriage has nothing to do with succession to the throne!
But Crown Prince Amalia, just a 17-year-old...
This is a big deal about marriage? Isn't it a little early!
The 17-year-old crown prince is going to come of age!
It turns out that in December this year, about two months later, the 17-year-old Crown Prince Amalia is an adult!
At the age of 18, she reached the age when Dutch women were free to marry.
Before Dutch Prime Minister Rutte declared the freedom of marriage for members of the royal family, according to the constitution, if the Crown Prince of the Netherlands did not marry a man, he could not start a career.
That is to say, in the past, if the queen's marriage was not to a man, he had to give up the right to inherit the throne.
But in the Netherlands, where same-sex marriage has been legal for 20 years, the queen is going to lose the throne without a man?
Member of parliament A: No face to listen, 🤦 ♀️ !
Member B: Is this in line with our positive and open self-confidence? Not up!
Member C: The Crown Prince can't hide from a man?
Member of Parliament D: Aren't women fragrant? The crown prince's true love must have sex?
So...
Dutch Parliament: Heir to the throne, same-sex couples marry, it's okay! The crown prince himself is happy!
In the sauce, the 17-year-old crown prince received his first birthday gift from the Dutch adult world.
Worthy of being a country of freedom, birthday gifts are so hardcore.
But things are far from simple...
Heir to the Queen?
Dutch men and women, young and old: Studying crown prince marriage, we are serious.
Well, here's the problem!
Q: If queens and their partners are of the same sex, do their children have the right to inherit?
According to the then Minister of Justice in 2001, the core of the monarchy is hereditary. How do same-sex couples have Adam and Eve-like children? Therefore, the crown prince must not have same-sex partners.
The law firmly guards the royal succession. "Legitimate descendants" can be heirs, and children who donate and adopt cannot inherit the throne.
Today, times have changed.
The crown prince's marriage system has been reformed and more open...
This time, the Dutch prime minister personally appeared and nagged the royal family:
This is simply too complex, and the issue needs to be addressed urgently, depending entirely on the particular situation.
When the time comes, the parliamentary leaders will eat melons on time, vote carefully, and give the queen an explanation.
However, the Crown Prince is still young, and it is too early to study this matter.
The crown prince ceded the throne?
It turned out that the Prime Minister knew that the Crown Prince was still young...
But why rush to put the issue of the succession of the crown prince's future children on the table?
This is because, after reading the material about Crown Prince Amalia, some believe that the Crown Prince may give up the throne and give way to the second heir, Princess Alexia (the Crown Prince's sister).
In the Dutch royal family, withdrawing from the succession is indeed not a new thing.
The Crown Prince's aunt, Princess Irene, and uncle Prince Friso, both of whom invariably chose to abdicate.
The rebellious Dutch princess fled
First, let's talk about the Dutch rebel Princess Irene...
In the last century, the young Erin, while studying in Spain, met Prince Hugo.
But Prince Hugo was only a low-grade version of the Spanish prince, and there was no prince who could inherit the throne.
The delicate little princess fell in love with the Spanish young man, and after the Dutch royal family heard the news, the frying pan was gone!
The Dutch, who had fought with Spain, heard that their princess's thoughts fluctuated somewhat, and behaved intimately with the low-worthy prince of the enemy country, and concluded:
This is an international dispute!
Also my little princess, Prince Hugo, unworthy!
Worse is yet to come, and the religious beliefs of princesses and princes are different.
The Little Princess and even the whole of Holland is Protestant, the Prince of Spain and the whole of Spain are mainly Catholic!
The Dutch people exclaimed: No, there is a religious dispute!
In essence, a mismatch of beliefs, the same as a discord of character, can lead to an unhappy marriage.
Princess, let's not get married! In the big Netherlands, can't you find a decent man?
But the little princess was still young, and innocently believed that changing herself for the sake of a man would win his heart.
She changed her religion, fled the Dutch royal family, and eloped with the prince.
Without the consent of the royal family, it was announced through the media that the two were engaged and about to marry.
Amid the popular outcry, the royal family announced the cancellation of Princess Irene's inheritance rights.
According to rumors, after marriage, Princess Irene had no family backer, and Prince Hugo had no hope of eating soft rice, so the relationship between the two broke down.
After 17 years of marriage, Princess Irene chose to raise four children alone.
In her later years, the lonely Princess Irene returned to the royal family...
When she returned, Princess Irene was no longer a carefree little girl.
The Prince of the Netherlands who does not love the country and the beauty
Like Princess Irene, Prince Friso, the younger brother of the King of the Netherlands, is synonymous with freedom and jubilation.
Prince Friso, who was the second in line to the throne, knew from an early age that the throne was really not fragrant.
When he was a child, he once said to his companion: You can beat Alexander, but you can't beat him to death, otherwise I will have to be king.
But there must always be an opportunity to wave goodbye to the throne "justifiably".
No, the prince was in love.
Girlfriends are not small, that is, the kind that are not recognized.
According to legend, the prince's girlfriend Mei Bao was once the mistress of a gangster. But Ms. Mei claimed she was only good friends with the drug dealer sentenced to death.
Dutch Parliament: Friendship is not good either! This kind of friend can't be made...
Prince Friso, well, we don't marry this woman.
Therefore, in 2003, the prince and Mei Bao were engaged without the consent of the parliament.
The prince resigned from the Dutch royal family by the way...
This love story has not been able to end with a successful ending.
Unfortunate endings vary, with Prince Friso dying in 2013 at the age of 44 after an avalanche in the Austrian ski resort.
The crown prince's uncertain future
Perhaps, after a series of tragedies, the Dutch parliament decided to return a modest amount of freedom of marriage to the young crown prince...
In the face of adult tongue-in-cheek, I don't know whether it is because happiness came too suddenly, or because I felt the pressure of marriage, the young crown prince did not respond.
She didn't give an opinion or talk about her personal life.
It is expected that next year, Amalia will go to college.
The crown prince is also ambitious, and earlier, she said that she would not receive a royal allowance of up to 1.6 million euros per year until she began to officially perform her royal duties.
This kind of white rice thing, Princess Ben can't do it!
