- Koningin Beatrix is in haar kerstrede van dit jaar pal achter haar zoon prins Johan Friso en zijn verloofde Mabel Wisse Smit gaan staan. De vorstin, die met haar familie onderwerp was van menige mediahype en volgens premier Balkenende ook van teveel persiflages, laakte voorts een te ruime opvatting van het begrip vrijheid van meningsuiting. De koningin ging in haar toespraak in op het delen van tegenslag en geluk in de familiekring. ,,Voor ons kwam na een moeilijke tijd een gelukkige wending. De geboorte van Amalia brengt vreugde en grote dankbaarheid om dit nieuwe leven. |

I guess it's a DX3 using an alias? Ho ho ho and other appropriate seasonal greetings, Tee Fred |
