Christmas Mail 2020

January 3, 2021January 3, 2021NettyRoyalLeave a Comment on Christmas Mail 2020

As usual I sent a bunch of Christmas cards to royals – reigning and non-reigning – all over Europe. It is always exciting to see whether people send back cards and what you get back. Several corona-related cards this year complete with “virus” and face masks. I am sure more cards will follow in the […]

The year 2020 of NettyRoyal

January 1, 2021January 1, 2021NettyRoyal2 Comments on The year 2020 of NettyRoyal

The year 2020 hasn’t been as good as we’d all hoped for. No big royal events, no big travels. There were however several births, christenings, engagements and weddings, and unfortunately also a few deaths. Most sensational things that happened in the past year must surely have been the exit of the Duke and Duchess of […]

The blog has been moved

December 29, 2020December 29, 2020NettyRoyal1 Comment on The blog has been moved

Last night something I have prepared for for months has finally happened. My great host Rudy moved the blog to my first URL nettyroyal.nl. The people who usually only visited my blog will hardly notice. The old blog URL is still working and from there you will be directed to the new site without even […]

Season’s Greetings

December 22, 2020December 22, 2020NettyRoyal2 Comments on Season’s Greetings

2020 has been an atypical year (as the Spanish media I follow keep on mentioning it). Royals have been working at home a lot, showed their offices, and outside often wore face masks, which looks awful on photos. We hardly had any nice royal events or big celebrations. National days were reduced or not celebrated […]

My royal mail 2020

November 1, 2020November 1, 2020NettyRoyal2 Comments on My royal mail 2020

Arrived on 9 January 2020: a card with photo from King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of the Belgians to thank for the card I sent them for the 20th wedding anniversary. On 15 April 2020 King Philippe of the Belgians celebrated his 60th birthday. On 16 April 2020 Queen Margrethe II of Denmark turned 80. […]

Dear library

October 30, 2020October 25, 2020NettyRoyal1 Comment on Dear library

As long as I can remember -certainly 40 years or more – I have been a member of the public library, and for a while even of the library of the university. I started reading at the age of 5 and since books have been my life. Even when I moved from Sneek to Leek, […]

Email Updates

August 27, 2020August 29, 2020NettyRoyal4 Comments on Email Updates

Someone told me she suddenly gets lots of emails with notifications of new posts on this blog. I am slowly moving my old website to this blog, and this late afternoon/evening had some time to copy stuff into new posts on the blog. As I posted them with a date in the past, I hoped […]

Royal face mask

August 10, 2020August 10, 2020NettyRoyalLeave a Comment on Royal face mask

Something I never thought I’d have in my royal collection: a face mask. I already have a few face masks. But when I saw this one on the Twitter account of Stadtholderswives I absolutely needed one. It is made out of lycra like material, fits perfectly and looks amazing. Lucky for me and some others […]

Prince Harry: The adventures of a royal cat (4)

August 8, 2020August 8, 2020NettyRoyal3 Comments on Prince Harry: The adventures of a royal cat (4)

It has been a while since you all heard from me, unless you follow my Twitter account or Netty’s personal Facebook (for friends only she says). I am celebrating my 4th birthday today. It occured to Netty earlier that the vet might have chosen the date because it is International Cat Day. She has no […]

The winners! Palace Noordeinde contest

August 1, 2020August 1, 2020NettyRoyalLeave a Comment on The winners! Palace Noordeinde contest

Unfortunately The Noordeinde Palace in The Hague won’t open its doors this year because of Covid-19. I have visited both the palace (2016) and the stables (2017) already. No visit in 2018 because of health problems, and a press visit in 2019. I had tickets for 2019, but couldn’t go because they closed the doors […]

700.000 views!

July 2, 2020July 2, 2020NettyRoyal5 Comments on 700.000 views!

In the very early hours of Thursday 2 July 2020 this blog reached another milestone. Since the start of the blog in September 2012 there have been 700.000 views. Of course in the first years I didn’t really do much with the blog, so it didn’t attract a lot of visitors. But more people visit […]

My book collection rearranged

June 12, 2020June 9, 2020NettyRoyal3 Comments on My book collection rearranged

It took me most of the weekend, but my bookcases finally look better again. They’re still somewhat full unfortunately, but everything that I want to keep is inside, and no longer on the floor or on top, or … However I have taken out several piles of books that I don’t want to keep. Hopefully […]

Cycling through the countryside

May 31, 2020May 31, 2020NettyRoyal4 Comments on Cycling through the countryside

At the moment it seems I have little time to update the blog. Unlike many people I am working as usual. However in the past, nearly, three months the Covid-19 crisis has had its influence on my life. No fitness centre, no dancing, and if you’re still building up your physical condition after an illness, […]

Royal jigsaw puzzles

May 6, 2020NettyRoyal2 Comments on Royal jigsaw puzzles

These days I see several people on my timeline that have started making jigsaw puzzles. Some even have royal ones from the Netherlands or the UK. I can’t even remember the last time I really made jigsaw puzzles. It might have been 2001 when I bought one with the engagement photo of King Willem-Alexander and […]

Preparations for the 80th birthday of Queen Margrethe

April 7, 2020April 7, 2020NettyRoyalLeave a Comment on Preparations for the 80th birthday of Queen Margrethe

As I can’t go to Copenhagen, Denmark, to celebrate the 80th birthday of Queen Margrethe II, I will prepare a tiny celebration at home. When checking my Danish flag, it turned out it was a bit dirty and dusty, so I washed it. Despite of the lockdown Danes are planning to sing and celebrate. Are […]
