Netherlands Gets A King After More Than 120 Years



75-year-old Queen Beatrix handed over power in a constitutionally ordained ceremony in the Mozes Hall of the royal palace in Amsterdam to her eldest son Willem-Alexander. The transfer became official as she signed the "instrument of abdication" this means she will now be known as Princess Beatrix.

Queen Beatrix told the crowd. "I'm happy and grateful to present you your new King Willem-Alexander," 

46 year old Willem-Alexander will be the first King of the Netherlands since 1890. 

Wow! I can only think of England  wow again!
