A royal tour - 200 years Kingdom of the Netherlands
200 years Kingdom of the Netherlands
Holland will be celebrating its 200th year as a Kingdom this year. For two years, there will be festivities, plays, lectures and tours to historic sites that played a part in our royal history. Why two years? Because it took two years, from 1813 to 1815, to defeat Napoleon and make Prince Willem I our first king.
The video will guide you past the most beautiful and important sites in Holland that are associated with our royal family and will give your visit a royal touch. You will be seeing beautiful palaces, such as Paleis Noordeinde and Huis ten Bosch, where the royal family lived and worked. And you will also see the small bakery where King Willem-Alexander got his sandwich as a little boy.

Scherpenzeel and surroundings, Netherlands
Scherpenzeel is a village and municipality in the Gelderse Valley in the Dutch province Gelderland, region Gelderse Valley. The municipality of Scherpenzeel includes the village of the same name with the hamlets of Ruwinkel and De Haar and part of the hamlet of Moorst. In the French era Scherpenzeel came under the province of Utrecht, but since 19 September 1814 Scherpenzeel has been a member of Gelderland again.
The name Scherpenzeel, then called 'Scarpenzele', gives reason to assume that there must have been a fortified house next to a settlement.
Huis Scherpenzeel was part of the Scherpenzeel Estate until 1975. In the 14th century there was already a fortified house on the site of the present House Scherpenzeel. It was owned by the Van Scherpenzeel family.
Halfway through the 19th century the house got its present form: a not too large, symmetrical and elegant whole: front and back facades have some columns, covered with pewter; the side walls each have two stepped gables. See the presentation.
In the vicinity of Scherpenzeel is also the Grebbelinie. This is a water line between the Utrechtse Heuvelrug and the Veluwe, which was built in the 18th century. However, its fame is derived from the period 1939-1940, when the line under the name Valleistelling formed the main defence of the Dutch defence plan. After the Second World War, the casemates, tank barriers and German bunkers were covered with a layer of greenery. More than 40 kilometres of military history are now hidden in a beautiful and elongated nature reserve along Valleikanaal and Eem.
Belgian Royal Palace in Brussels
The Royal Palace of Brussels (Dutch: Koninklijk Paleis van Brussel [ˈkoː.nɪŋk.ˌlək pɐ.ˈlɛi̯s vɐn ˈbrʏ.səl], French: Palais Royal de Bruxelles, German: Königlicher Palast von Brüssel) is the official palace of the King and Queen of the Belgians in the centre of the nation's capital Brussels. However it is not used as a royal residence, as the king and his family live in the Royal Castle of Laeken on the outskirts of Brussels. The website of the Belgian Monarchy describes the function of the palace as follows: The Palace is where His Majesty the King exercises his prerogatives as Head of State, grants audiences and deals with affairs of state. Apart from the offices of the King and the Queen, the Royal Palace houses the services of the Grand Marshal of the Court, the King's Head of Cabinet, the Head of the King's Military Household and the Intendant of the King's Civil List. The Palace also includes the State Rooms where large receptions are held, as well as the apartments provided for foreign Heads of State during official visits.
The palace is situated in front of Brussels Park. A long square called the Paleizenplein/Place des Palais separates the palace from the park. The middle axis of the park marks both the middle peristyle of the palace and the middle of the facing building on the other side of the park, which is the Palace of the Nation (the Belgian Federal Parliament building). The two facing buildings are said to symbolize Belgium's system of government: a constitutional monarchy.
Monarchy in Belgium is constitutional and popular in nature. The hereditary monarch, at present Albert II, is the head of state and is officially called King of the Belgians (Dutch: Koning der Belgen, French: Roi des Belges, German: König der Belgier).
