Dutch Royal Family

Dutch King Willem-Alexander announced Thursday that he is mothballing the royal Golden Coach which has been embroiled in a racism controversy.

The Dutch royal family expressed regret on Wednesday after it last week invited 21 people to celebrate the 18th birthday of the future queen contrary to coronavirus health guidance.

A decision to drag a Dutch activist before a judge for insulting King Willem-Alexander has sparked outrage in liberal-minded Netherlands and prompted prosecutors to re-evaluate the case based on a century-old law.
