Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands announced the abdication of the throne in favor of her son Willem Alexander through a national TV message.
Consequently, the wife of the prince, Maxima Zorreguieta will be the new queen.
“With the greatest confidence, I delivered on April 30 the throne to my son William and his wife Maxima”, said Beatrice.
