The Inauguration Ceremony of King Willem-Alexander 2013

The Inauguration Ceremony of King Willem-Alexander in the Nieuwe Kerk on 30th April 2013.

[@yūsari5331]

He is also the first male monarch of the Netherlands since the death of his great-great-grandfather King William III in 1890.

[@JJMHigner]

Thats right! In fact, the Netherlands are the only country reigned over throughout the 20th century by no less then three woman in a row! :)

[@MultiLittlebopeep]

Technically four women as Queen Emma reigned as regent until her daughter Wilhelmina came of age.

[@gidzmobug2323]

Don't be ashamed of what you are, the Netherlands is a great country.

[@nikostorm5399]

Really? A country which is a pawn of the NATO. A country which is the lap dog of America. A country with politicians with NO backbones, who are doing anything the EU wants. A country where nobody can say or have any Dutch cultural events without being called "racist". A country where feminism and LGBT-love are out of control. A country with a king/queen while we don't need them. A country with no pride of people, only for money and the elites. A country with no proudly anthem, which is also not about the people who made the country to what it is now. A country with only 15% of it's people be willing to fight and die for their country. Yup, the Netherlands is a great country...

[@isunlloaoll]

Just me The "issues" you described is also present in every western developed countries. Even Britain, the more conservative of the western european countries, is going through the same phenomenons. Netherlands still is a beautiful country though. One of highest standards of living. Wonderful Healthcare, wonderful prison system, and wonderful everything. These are the results of a liberal society. America is much more conservative, and guess what? We got absolute shit Healthcare, worse prison system in the world, and one of the highest income inequality in developed world.

I was introduced to the then Queen of the Netherlands Wilhelmina by Anne Frank, who wrote lovingly of the Dutch people and their remarkable queen. I am filled with amazement when I consider the heroic courage the Dutch people showed in the face of the terrible repression visited upon them during the terrible years of the great war. I am always delighted in the simple declaration on the part of the Queen Regent Emma when the young Queen Wilhelmina asked "Mama, do all the people belong to me?", "No, my child, it is you who belong to all these people." Simply put. It has been the rule by which this incredible set of people (Wilhelmina, Juliana, Breatrix, and now Willem-Alexander) have conducted themselves for well over a century.

[@Itubewetube1]

Compare our palaces with those in France, England or Russia. Our Kingdom, Kings or Queens, has never been dictatorial. Palaces are modest, the Kindom has been from and for the people.

[@MultiLittlebopeep]

Don't talk rubbish.

[@isunlloaoll]

Ax Martel I understand that the queen did fled Netherlands... I would do the same actually. Netherland at the time had colonies still under the command of the exiled government. Idk, the Danish king was brave though, he stayed despite occupation and rallied his people through hard times.

[@zondaarverlosser6687]

yes, but The Netherlands was actually attacked, one of our biggest cities had been flattened completely. I believe the Danish invasion took what? 1, maybe 2 days, without terribly many casualties. so you can immagine that the our Royal family had more reason to be concerned about their own safety then the Danish Royal family

[@johnvroonhoven7584]

The Danish literally opened the gates at the border, they chose (wisely) not to fight any longer after 6 hours seeing they stood no chance, not a single shot's been fired during the overtake of Denmark by the Germans, some say. ;) The Dutch Royal family and government was offered a same treatment/deal prior to the invasion but both refused. The Danish Royals therefore didn't had much to fear really, the Belgian King however didn't flee either but did risk a lot seeing how the Belgians (and the French) behaved during the interbellum in the by both countries occupied Ruhr-area in western Germany. Bringing your head of State in safety during wartime is a very common and wise thing to do, partly so they can stay in 'power', partly because the Kingdom is bigger then the occupied part of it, and partly to secure the bloodline of the dynasty. Furthermore; what also contributed to their decision to flee was the fact that our Royal family had a certain German bloke in it's midst, a young Prince listening to the name Bernhard. The nazi's didn't really care for him very much and saw him as a traitor. Pretty f-ing good reason the get your ass out of nazi-reach I'd say.

[@YTTributeVideos]

Snicklefritz1979, Inauguration ceremonies are not just for republics. A Inauguration is when the head of state is sworn in by oath, a Coronation is when they are crowned. The Dutch Monarchy does have it's own regalia but is it just to symbolize the Monarchy, no Dutch Monarch has ever been crowned instead they have all been Inaugurated. :)

[@bigbenhebdomadarius6252]

This looks to me more like what the British would call the State Opening of Parliament and the Address from the Throne, which are parliamentary and governmental ceremonies. So would it be appropriate to call it more the inauguration of Parliament, than the King's inauguration?

[@TheGarryq]

BigBen Hebdomadarius No. The Speech from the Throne is given on Prinsesdag, the third thursday of September. The Dutch monarchs are not crownec and anointed, instead they take an oath to uphold the constitution and each member of the States-General is called to swear or affirm allegiance. A new monarch is a state and government ceremony. There is no need for the church, after all merely a private body not followed by most, to assume the right to authenticatd the ruler.

[@rubenjanssen1672]

[@gidzmobug2323]

What exactly is happening from 25:48 on? I don't know what is being said, and it looks like the ministers are electing the King. Is it a "yea" or "nay" vote?

[@dutchman7623]

The King became King at the moment the previous abdicated and signed the abdication law. The King has to appear before the Staten General (united chambers of parliament) and the Staten of the other countries within the kingdom. There the King has to swear loyalty to the Constitution, the Statue of the Kingdom, the Nations within the Kingdom and to protect its realm. The governments of the countries are also present. After this, all Staten (members of the parliaments) have to swear or promise loyalty to the same. This ia done individually, so each one has to stand up and speak out. This is what you are referring to. So no voting but a mutual promise of loyalty.

[@gidzmobug2323]

Dutch Man thank you very much. Interesting to watch, but got lost at the one point because I did not understand the language. To me, it looked like voting--and Willem-Alexander had won!

can someone who understand dutch language or is knowledgeable in dutch ceremonies explain what's the kind of voting that starts at 34:40?

[@pippapapillon9327]

Yongle96 Well, I'm not sure how to explain in English because I don't know many of the English translations of what these people represent. I'm pretty sure there are better explanations in the comments but they are in fact not voting. During the king's inauguration he promises loyalty to our constitution and to serve his purpose and his country. In return the Staten Generaal (Senate and House of representatives) the delegation from Sint Maarten, Aruba and Curaçao basically have to say that they will return the favor by protecting the King's inviolability and his rights as a king. They all have to swear this individually which is why their name is first called, they stand up and then say so truly help me, almighty God. I hope that explains it a bit. I'm sorry I can't do more. I'm not really into all these traditions so I only know what my history lessons have taught me

[@Yongle96]

thank you for the reply! but how come that some raise their hand and pronounce an oath while some others say something else?

[@pippapapillon9327]

That I'm not entirely sure of but I believe it has to do with the fact that some aren't religious and out of principle don't want to promise on God but on themselves so some just say 'I promise' but that is not something I know for sure

I’m shocked this isn’t covered with replies from holier-than-thou Europeans expecting you to learn every language you encounter on the Internet.

[@jasperpluk]

@@pacoramirez7363 Dutch may be a European language but it's in no way spoken as diversly as others like Frensh or German, so we dutch aren't bothered with the fact that our language isn't all well know outside of Dutch speaking regions :)

[@jaydenkenney4201]

Each member of Parliament is giving their support to the King. "Zo vaarlik helpe mij God Almachtig" means "So truly help me God Almighty" and "Dat beloof ik" means "I promise".

[@cirociri1091]

what is the name of the hymn that all sing at the beginning of the cerimony? thanks. i love Netherland!!!

[@willembruins9103]

ciro ciri Those are the first and sixth verse of the Wilhelmus anthem, the national anthem of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

[@cirociri1091]

thank u very much.

[@jttjlep_]

The National Anthem of The Netherlands: ''The William'' (Wilhelmus) Normally people sing the first of all 15 paragraphs. In special events the sixth paragraphs is added in the national anthem. If you are interested I added the original texts of both paragraphs. (translation aswell) :) Dutch 1st paragraph: Wilhelmus van Nassaowe, ben ik van Duitsen bloed, den vaderland getrouwe, blijf ik tot in den dood. Een Prinse van Oranje, ben ik, vrij, onverveerd den Koning van Hispanje, heb ik altijd geëerd. 6th paragraph Mijn schild ende betrouwen, zijt Gij, o God, mijn Heer, op U zo wil ik bouwen, verlaat mij nimmermeer. Dat ik doch vroom mag blijven, Uw dienaar t'aller stond, de tirannie verdrijven die mij mijn hart doorwondt. English translation 1st paragraph: William of Nassau, I am of Dutch blood, loyal to the fatherland, I will remain until I die. A Prince of Orange, I am, free, and fearless the King of Spain, I have always honoured. 6th paragraph: My shield and reliance, are You, o God, my Lord, it is on You I want to rely, never leave me again. Grant that I remain brave, Your servant for always, Defeating that tyranny which pierces my heart.

Can you tell me what that gorgeous hymn playing from @57:00 is? And what are the lyrics? I absolutely love listening to it, it is a deep, inspiring piece, and I am very curious to what the words are.. I assume that is Dutch and not Latin it is sung in?

[@user-be9oe9hz7k]

35:09 what does this gesture mean?

[@antonievanbruchem4540]

They are members of parliament, they are saying: 'Zo waarlijk helpe mij God almachtig' which means 'so help me God almighty'. So they are pledging allegiance to the king. The gesture kinda goes with that, it's a tradition. The people who don't do the gesture are doing the secular version. They say: 'dat beloof ik', that means: 'I promise'.

[@sofiasantos4558]

LOYALTY TO THE NEW KING.

[@antonievanbruchem4540]

@@Mariano30.psdddd they are famous people from the Netherlands (for example an astronaut and a well-known scientist) , chosen by the king because of the importance of their work. Their function here is called 'herald', which is a completely ceremonial function nowadays.

What are the people doing when they hold up the 2 fingers?

[@henkjansen7940]

Codycole80 they are the members of the dutch parliament and they're pledging allegiance to the king.

[@CodyCole80]

Henk Jansen Oh. Thanks. 😊 I wish there were subtitles.

[@CodyCole80]

Henk Jansen But what about the ones that are standing and NOT holding up the 2 fingers?

[@henkjansen7940]

Codycole80 Well the ones with the fingers say: 'zo waarlijk helpe mij god almachtig' or in English 'so help me god almighty' , and the ones without the fingers say: 'dat beloof ik' that means 'I promise that'. Which one a representative uses depends on his/her religious beliefs .

[@shirtless6934]

I suppose there is something to said in favor of Beatrix abdicating so that she can see this occur in her lifetime. Something that Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom will not see.

[@AndreasAntoniusMaria]

King William I abdicated in 1840, Queen Wilhelmina abdicated in 1948, Queen Juliana abdicated in 1980 and Queen Beatrix abdicated in 2013. The first more or less forced due to his plan to get married with a Belgian catholic countess, but the 3 queens out of their free will.

[@johndotto2773]

I like how here the elected politicians from their Parliament are asked to each swear allegiance to the King, like if they were voting new laws or elect a new Speaker (like in the US). The few politicians who refused to do so (mostly from the left-wing) were then asked to move towards the back of the church.
