Koning

[Socrates]

First off: Gelukkig Koning Dag!! Orange-Nassau!!!

I was wondering what is the opinion of our fellow Dutchmen here regarding monarchy. I think it is said that the Netherlands is one of the most republican country in Europe in mentality, despite the Dutch monarchy being so respected*.
Is having a King nice, useful or even indispensable?

Anyway, the Queen is not dead, long live the King!

* This is one comment from someone living in one of the most monarchical country in Europe in mentality, despite some already long history of Republic.
