Queen abdicates in favour of her middle-aged son!

The Queen of the Netherlands announced last night that she was abdicating in favour of her son and heir after 33 years on the throne.
In a broadcast on Dutch state television three days before her 75th birthday, Queen Beatrix said she was stepping down because she believed ‘the responsibility should now lie in the hands of a new generation’.

The new king, Willem-Alexander, the 45-year-old Prince of Orange, will take over as monarch on April 30. He will be the first male to accede to the Dutch throne since 1890. His mother has ruled the Netherlands since April 30, 1980.
