For the Swiss public TV background reportage program SRF ’10 vor 10′ Europe correspondent Jonas Projer wants to check out how popular the monarchy is in the Netherlands and what future it has. For this reportage he also researches the fortune of the Queen and the royal family.
The republican and anti-monarchy organisations team up for protest against the coronation of the new King. They criticize the fact that the monarch and his family does not pay any taxes and that it still has too much political power.
Fans of the Dutch monarchy on the traditional peninsula Marken, still in traditional costumes, see the royal family as their own family and look very much forward to the new king. To them a president is as expensive and the monarchy is an important fundament of Dutch society.
A royalty specialist gives his views on the matter and in a café in Gouda a debate takes place about the future of the Dutch Monarchy between monarchists and republicans.
For this background reportage Featurez gave advice, did the research, set-up and planning and accompanied the filming.
