But about 'Blauw Bloed', I think they do check the facts, and although the host is pretty boring, I like the program (they also show historic royal footage, images etc.). If you haven't seen it before, you should watch it (het wordt de week erna ook nog herhaald, mocht je het niet kunnen zien door het voetbal op dezelfde zaterdagavond 
)
You're right Tatia, the host of "Blauw Bloed" is a bore. Joepie vanavond is hij er weer
I do like the historical footage they show from time to time, particularly about Queen Wilhelmina. Also the interviews with people who have special memory meeting the queen or other members of the royal family. I must say it sometimes amazes me how far people go in their adoration. Like that man whose always there to present the queen some sweets-een zak drop-. Je weet denk ik wel wie ik bedoel, hij is nogal een bekende Orange fan, ging de showbizz in-maakte een paar cdtjes- of was het de politiek- nou ja soms ook een pot nat.
There are people who follow every step the queen or other members take. I once read about a woman who had a special room- decorated in orange, with albums full of photo's and letters she wrote, cupboards filled with mugs, spoons etc, she traveled the whole country to catch a glimpse of our queen. I know we sometimes do pretty much the same here on this board as it comes to adoration, although most has to do with the past. Would you go this far as some people do, to me it sounds a bit as an obsession.
Interesting to know what drives them. At the end of the day royals are just the same as we are.
Pers: I loved to read your Dutch post
Je Nederlands is heel goed, leuk dat je zo geïnteresseerd bent. Your Dutch is quite good, are you from South-Africa, because of you're spelling and style?
