    Did you know King Willem Alexander has two jobs? First he is king of the Netherlands, but also a Pilot with the Dutch airline KLM. He made this public in 2017 after keeping it a secret for 21 years. Even today, he is on the flight-deck with KLM two days a month on the 737 fleet. While talking to passengers, he never gives his name, but provides the usual information, flight times to destination, temperatures and so forth, I think that`s pretty cool :)

    Actually, his mother Beatrix (who is a distant cousin of Elizabeth ) became a queen in 1980. 38 years ago. She did do a state visit 2 years after she took the crown. He has only been king for 5 years now. It's his first state visit. They do visit every once and awhile. And do attend royal weddings and funerals etc on both sides. A state visit is just something else than a social visit. More decorum. The dutch aren't that much into a lot of decorum ;-)

    Слава БОГУ, мудрому, знающему. ОН один, не ровняйте ЕМУ никого. БОГ есть, живой и вечен. БОГ никогда не болел, не дремал и не отсутствовал. Все в мире принадлежит только БОГУ, и происходит только с ЕГО дозволения. БОГ одаривает душой, омертвляет и вновь оживит в Судный День. Хвала АЛЛАХУ, Господу миров. Милостив и милосерден ОН. Дня судного Вершитель. БОГУ одному Поклоняйтесь, к ЕГО защите стремитесь восхваляя, и чаще Молитесь. Живите по Корану, Его не смогли переписать и изменить враги человечества. Не делитесь в Вере на секты, выгодную врагам. Слава БОГУ, богатому и могущественному. В ЕГО складах Неба имеются многое, что ни одному физику и не снилось. ОН выдает в нужные места необходимое. Земле дал ветер, который собирает облака дождя и сокрушает зло. Трон БОГА управляет мирами и дает все каждому. Я ЕГО Посол, Пророк. Хвала БОГУ, щедрому из всех. Если БОГ не называет своим Рабом, то назовет рабом сатана. Правда вы этого не заметите, если конечно не станете сатанистом. Быть Рабом БОГА спасение от зла, и выгодно материально. ОН щедр и мудр. Пророки тоже Рабы БОГА, Я один из Них, и счастлив этим. Бойтесь БОГА и повинуйтесь Мне Пророку, сядьте за накрытый щедро стол. Пророк Камил.

    I cannot speak for the Dutch monarchy but for the British monarchy, they were funded through the Crown Estate's revenues (25% will go to the royal family, 75% will go to the British government per the Sovereign Grant that replaced the 1760-2011 Civil List that dates back to King George I), so no, they don't use taxpayers' money at all even a single penny, none.

    You're clearly living in a make believe bubble that imagines European Royal Families are rolling in limitless cash. Queen Elizabeth is nowhere near the richest person in the UK. If you're looking for a better source of ready cash I suggest you take a look at the soccer players, pop stars and wealthy international industrialists - the folk who keep their assets out of reach of the British Government.
