Future of the Monarchy

The last cabinet formation raised questions about the role of the Head of State in the Dutch political system. Some political parties are in favor of changing the role of the Monarch. During this discussion meeting the initiatives from different political parties to change the role of the Monarch will be discussed. In addition, there is also an exhibition "Look, there's the king!" The House of Orange in The Hague in the Haags Historisch Museum.
