Crazy, insane royalty!

[yertle-the-turtle]

Crown Prince Willem Alexander Karel Hendrik Frederik of The Netherlands

man he has more names than my entire family combined

 

[Popmartijn]

Amalie of Orange-Nassau (1710-1777) the deranged duchess of Baden-Durlach.

Our new princess was named Catharina-Amalia (Beatrix Carmen Victoria to be precise), by, Willem Alexander Claus George Ferdinand, Crown Prince, Prince of Orange (I had to look it up, but this isn't the same person as the one yertle has mentioned )

And what do you think of Catharina's mom? She's Argentinian, just like me, so that means she must be great

No, seriously...What do people think about her?

The perils of inbreeding!

Some of them are particularly gruesome...fun stuff.

The perils of inbreeding!

No joke! It's lethal! That was a major problem with royalty--having to marry other royalty. I just wonder how the hell some of these people just got through their lives!

No, seriously...What do people think about her?

Here in the Netherlands she (Maxima Zorreguita) has stolen our hearts. We all love her. Some do have some problems with her father though (Jorge Zorreguita, a former secretary in the Videla-government)...

C ya!

Marty

(OK then, Marinus Johannes Janssen, but it's still far less ludicrous than the names of those royals )

 

[Salome]

 

[Angela Harlem]

Why is everyone called Johannes in The Netherlands?

Seriously...!!

 

[~*Buffalo*~]

Why is everyone called Johannes in The Netherlands?

It's the equivalent of John, isn't it? And that's a pretty popular name in the English-speaking world ...

 

[Angela Harlem]

But then Jan is also John. As is Johan. Which is just short for Johannes. Too many Johns

 

[Salome]

it has to do with our obsession for Johan Cruijff

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

how many Donalds are there in Australia, after Sir Bradman of couse?

as for Cruyff...never saw him in action (before my time), but in those little World Cup highlights videos I feel like I've missed out a lot.

Glad to hear she has been accepted by the people! Cus we are usually labeled as fat-heads, arrogant bastards! ( But I Guess some of us are like that...)

 

[Angela Harlem]

So Johan Cruijff is a footballer? He must be if turtle is talking about him
There's not too many Donalds here. There were, but its an old man's name really.
