Dutch Monarchy

The Dutch Monarchy is a constitutional monarchy in the Netherlands, meaning the king’s powers are limited by law. The current monarch, King Willem-Alexander, has been on the throne since 2013. While he represents the country and performs ceremonial duties, the Netherlands is governed by a parliamentary system where elected officials make decisions. The monarchy has deep historical roots, dating back to the 19th century, and is seen by many as a symbol of national unity and continuity, though opinions on its relevance vary. The royal family is involved in charitable work and cultural events, enhancing its public image.
