For the first time in 123 years The Netherlands has a king. Queen Beatrix has abdicated her throne in favor of her son. Willem-Alexander age 46 is now the youngest monarch in Europe.
Williem-Alexander became king when his mother singed the letters of abdication in the Royal Palace on the Dam in central Amsterdam and was crowned in the 600 year old New Church. His wife the Argentine born Maxima is now Queen Maxima and their oldest child Catarina-Amalia is now Princess Orange the next in line to the Dutch throne.
