We've arrived.

Almost vacation.

Almost off to the snow.

And then she was gone.

Disappeared.

And that's how I went from bad to worse.

Or into 'social isolation',
as they call it.

When Patrick asked me for the program,
I even thought: man 2.0?

Jesus Christ.

What will my brothers say about that?

I mean, you have
brothers of your own, right?

Yes.

Yes, they will destroy you
while you're watching.

Exactly.

But now that I'm talking
to these guys every week,

about things I've never said before,

I don't care about that anymore.

I can feel the improvement.

I just love that curiosity so much.

The other day she came to us
asking where babies come from,

out of the blue.

So we try to explain this in a somewhat
pedagogically responsible way.

She says with a very serious face,
"mom and dad, can't you just demonstrate?"

Well, we just did that man,
the demonstration. Is that weird?

You know what I can't wait for?

- Well?
- To show my girls a bit more of the world.

First time in the desert.

The Grand Canyon.

Remember Table Mountain?

- When dad took us there?
- Yes.

All three of us: "Wow!"

Well, it's fine with me
if they stay little for a bit longer.

Yes, but you just loved
walking behind that stroller.

Good, then we can dump the kids
with Alex.

- Sure.
- Nice one.

No, but I'm really
looking forward to that.

When they start having their own opinions,
and you can talk with them.

That they will argue with you, and
you'll see them develop their talents.

God, talent development.

That seems exhausting,
a father like that.

The other day,
I had to cut a few ribbons

and I hadn't even been talking
to that mayor for one minute.

- I was already showing pictures.
- Oh, yes.

I do it too.

- So you're a bit of a wimp, then.
- I actually am.

You keep calling me that, but so are you.

You too, with your daughter,
I heard you.

"Did you eat enough, sweetie?"
"Is your zipper closed properly?"

Yes, but those are daughters,
they're a class of their own.

Just the idea of them
taking a guy like you home...

It was just announced
that his Royal Highness,

Prince Friso of Orange,

fell victim to an avalanche this morning
in the Lech skiing area.

The prince has been rushed
to the Innsbruck hospital,

where he has been admitted
to the intensive care unit.

His wife, Princess Mabel,
and Queen Beatrix

have arrived at the hospital.

- The doctors call his condition stable...
- Go.

...but not out of danger.

I'm losing sleep over this already,
imagine what it'll be like for Amalia.

Yes, but she can do it. You'll see.

Sure. The Oranjes, soft men,
but strong women. You know that, right?

Yes, maybe we should skip a generation.

Yes, please.

No, but I mean,
that's going to be different for her.

Much more intense.

They didn't photograph us
while hiding in the bushes every week.

Yes, that's true. That's only
getting worse with the whole online thing.

Yes.

So I might be a metro man, but...

just let my girl be a girl for now.

That's sweet of you.

Anyway, let's face it,

by the time you enter the Nieuwe Kerk
wearing that bearskin...

Yes, Amalia will be ready to retire.

Okay. Let's agree to do something fun
with our kids every year.

What do you mean?

Well, just so we can enjoy them
a little bit more.

- Man, how narcissistic.
- What? Why?

Very nice idea, Tijn.
Maybe a football tournament?

- We almost have a complete team already.
- Yes. Can't you add a few more?

I'm not P.B.

Here, look.

- Oh, wow.
- State of the art.

So, this is a compass,
a thermometer and a whistle all in one.

- Ideal.
- Nerd.

Mister has a new gadget again.

I have to.

As usual, you two are useless.

But you do love us.

Well, yes...

Alex.

The plane is almost ready.

Why does it all take so damned long?

Sorry.

It is not your fault.

I just remembered that he had
one of those things with him,

a kind of whistle.

Does anyone know how mom is doing?

We can't go via Innsbruck.
The weather is too bad.

- We'll have to go through Switzerland.
- Seriously?

- Yes.
- God damn it. Jesus.

Why did they have to go earlier?

This isn't helping, darling.

So then, what?
What do we do in Switzerland?

By car?

Well, can't we just take a helicopter?

- Mabel is beside herself.
- Yes.

I'm going to see what I can arrange.

Yes.

Do you want to sit down?

- Would you like anything?
- No.

Oh, I'm exhausted.

I'm getting older, you know.

Well, it shows. Geez.

- Yes, but we are going in a bit.
- No, I'm going down, really.

No, come on, don't whine.
We're walking up there.

There's a very nice valley down.

- Constantijn isn't going up anymore.
- I already felt it this morning.

Oh, my God.

- Lovely.
- Here.

Thank you.

Hey.

I can assure you
that your son is not in pain.

And we hope that the hypothermia

reduced the brain damage
suffered during cardiac arrest.

After prolonged resuscitation
at the scene of the accident

Prince Friso was brought
to the clinic in Innsbruck.

Due to the long time under the snow,
his brain did not get enough oxygen.

This resulted in a cardiac arrest
that lasted approximately fifty minutes.

Throughout this period,
the patient had to be resuscitated.

Fifty minutes of CPR
is a very, very long time.

You could also say too long.

In any case, neurological rehabilitation
will take months, if not years.

Do you remember that one time
he rebelled against grandpa?

The Sunday evening tradition.

- Movie night at the palace.
- Yes.

"Boys, the movie is starting."

Yes.

But you'd rather watch
the sports highlights, right?

I'll never forget that disappointed look.

There I was, on my own,
watching Titanic with him.

Hey.

Fuck.

I miss him, man.

Yes.

He's still here, Tijn.

Yes.

Yes.

They have a spot in London.

I'm taking him home.

There are a number of tasks
that you could relieve her Majesty of.

Especially now she is spending
so much time in London.

If your schedule permits, of course.

- Wait a minute.
- Yes.

Yes.

Good afternoon.

It has been a long time.

Yes.

How are you?

Good.

My driving skills have improved.

I'm sorry.

I know, that's late, of course.

Too late.

Those steaks of yours are amazing.

It reminds me of home.

Back in the days, on Sunday.

During an as a do.

Lovely.

I...

I used to play football here with Friso.

When he was about
seven or eight years old.

I had just started working
in my dad's butcher shop.

He was a really nice kid.

Cheerful and very smart, too.

And always up to mischief
with his brothers.

I hope he will recover.

Yes.

Yes, so do we.

Thank you.

Royal Highness.

Greetings, to all of you,
wherever you are in the world.

And an enormous welcome
to the city of London,

and to the Olympic Stadium
for the Olympic Games of 2012.

I'm not a big swimming fan either.

Charles.

So nice to see you here.

- Please, join me.
- Thank you.

I'll take this off.

Right.

Now, let's treat you to a proper drink.

My mother never told any of us
about her skid with Daniel Craig.

So the expression on our faces

when watching the opening ceremony
is real.

That's brilliant.

Then again,
who could say no to James Bond?

But that's right.

How is your brother doing?

Yes, it's still the same.

Yes.

I would kill to just hear one more
of his cynical remarks, or...

just one of his stupid jokes.

But you can still talk to him.

Tell him how you feel,

how much you miss him.

And how horrible his jokes were.

I am so very sorry for you, Alex.

And for your mother.

And then, of course, there is that thing
hovering over your head.

How are you dealing with that?

That thing?

The crown.

That thing.

My entire life I've...

had that...

tangible feeling.

There was always something bugging me.

Like an annoying mosquito that you're
trying to catch

but it keeps getting away.

What if she outlives me?

They say 80% of the things
you fear never happen.

Right. In Dutch, we say:

"Don't ask for an advance
on your troubles."

My God, your language.

But you're right, I guess.

I just sometimes fear that...

I might lose myself.

You know?

Constantly performing in this absurd play.

Fitting into some ideal of kingship.

But, who are we really?

Underneath all that?

The tension was already high, but Epke?
Just unbelievable.

You could feel that everyone was nervous,
you could sense it in the hall.

Flying Dutchman, they said.

Great, and no one expected him
to actually do it.

Nobody else in the world can do this.

Did you know that?

That's bizarre, right? Being able
to do something that no one else can.

He did all three combinations

one after the other, flawlessly, and he
dismounted with a double somersault.

It's unbelievable.
And everyone went crazy.

Literally everyone clapped,
cheering, "Epke, Epke!"

A standing ovation.

Friso?

Friso?

Fries?

Fries?

Hello?

Hello?

Sorry, hello?

I'm afraid I have to
temper your expectations.

This is quite common in coma patients.

Try to see this as a gift
rather than a hopeful sign.

He's just lying there.

Motionless.

It's almost starting to feel normal.

My mom wants to talk to us.

Really?

Tonight, at the hotel.

Thank you very much.

So. Well, I didn't invite you
for these silly cakes, of course.

Sweethearts,

I am tired.

Mom.

I had a difficult time
after your dad's passing.

Very, very difficult.

But I recovered
and I found the energy to move on.

But now?

You know...

I've always been a queen first

and a mother second.

But now I just...

want to be a mother.

So...

It is time.

I'm sure.

And you are ready.

I'm going to pass the baton.

As you all know,

I hope to celebrate my 75th birthday
in a few days.

In addition, we will commemorate
at the end of this year

that our country became a kingdom
200 years ago.

The convergence
of these two special events

has led me to decide

to retire from office this year.

I'm stepping down with the conviction

that the responsibility for our country
must now lie in the hands

of a new generation.

It is with the utmost confidence

that on April 30 of this year,

I will hand over the throne

to my son, the Prince of Orange.

He and Princess Máxima
are fully prepared for their future task.

They will serve the country
with dedication

and give their own meaning to the kingship
with all of their talents.

I am deeply grateful for your trust

in the many wonderful years

during which I was privileged
to be your queen.

Yes, I thought
I was going to be super excited.

But now the only thing
that I can think about is...

yes, what the hell
am I getting myself into?

Cold feet.

Am I really ready for this?

- To serve 17 million people?
- Of course you are.

I don't know.

You know, I used to think
that I could take on the whole world.

But that...

But?

That was before shit hit the fan.

Just keep swimming.

Finding Nemo.

Do you know why I know so much
about film?

I come from a family in which
everyone was very confident.

Everyone had bravado.

Fear and uncertainty just didn't exist.

Hesitation definitely didn't.

Less talk and more action,
is what we say.

A piece of advice
that's included for free.

But unlike my older brothers,
I was insecure as hell.

I was slow,

too fat...

and far too sensitive.

I'd already pee my pants
when I had to cycle to school alone.

I was afraid I would fall into a ditch
or get under a truck, or...

I was afraid of being bullied.

So I took refuge in movies.

For endless hours,
I watched my movie heroes,

because I wanted to know how they did it.

Life.

And funnily enough, I found out
that they were actually very insecure

and had quite a lot of shit
hitting their fan.

It takes courage to overcome that.

Just the fact that you're asking yourself

whether you can do this,
makes me think that you are quite strong

and are actually perfect for the job.

Maybe, yes.

Okay.

What is your biggest fear, then?

Spiders.

My biggest fear is...

that one day my...

my daughters will come up to me, and...

And say,

for God's sake, mom,
what were you thinking about?

How could you put us into this world
when you knew that...

When you knew that...

Well, you know? The kids who ask why...

are the ones
that are going to change the world.

Behind him, far away...

...clatter of hooves, shouting...

...loud noises.

He looked back anxiously but saw nothing.

The bend in the road removed
the higher part from his view.

Thank you, sweetheart.

More shouting and clashing of weapons...

I want to be a king for everyone.

For the baker around the corner,
for the dentist who also...

Alex, this is so cliché.

Yes, but this...

I can't do this.

I don't want to and I won't do it.

You have to make it personal.

And don't put your chin up too high,
because it makes you look arrogant.

Yes, I'll just pass all the questions
on to you.

No. Maybe you should come up
with a good motto or a slogan.

Oh, yes.

Willem IV,
for royal entertainment and more.

Come on. Three strong key words.

Willem IV, balloons,
bitter balls and beer.

Okay, again.

You've known for a long time
that you're going to be king.

Now the time has come.

What kind of king do you want to be?

I want to be a king who,
above all, stands in tradition.

Building on the tradition
of my predecessors.

One that stands for
continuity in this country,

but also for stability in the country.

But also a king who can connect,

represent and encourage society
in the 21st century.

Connect, represent and encourage.

How does that work in practice?

Just think for a second, Rick.

Well, by being present
where you think people need support.

And to give the right events
extra attention by being present.

By supporting people
who can use some help.

By also representing
the Netherlands well abroad.

Yes, trying in many ways to be
the cohesive element in society,

serving society.

Exactly.

The most important thing
is to stay authentic.

If you are not authentic,

you can't properly fulfill
such a new position either.

Your mother...

Yes?

I think he has been
who he has been so far.

And that won't change either.

And he is a person
who is very close to the people.

He keeps in close contact with people.
And that's where you get inspiration from

And that will remain the same.

Máxi.

I'm really proud of you.

Are you happy to become king?

I do have some mixed feelings.

It is, of course, an honor
to serve the country.

But it's also a tough job.

Because everyone always
has something to say about it.

It's just like football.

If the team wins,
everyone thinks the coach is a hero.

But if the team loses,
there suddenly are 17 million

national coaches in the country
and they all know best.

Sometimes I'm afraid that I might be doing
or saying the wrong thing.

- Do you get that?
- Yes.

Mom always says that you should
talk about the things you're afraid of

and that fear
is also just part of life.

I like it too, you know.

This way, dad can play the boss a little.

He's good at that, right?

To call the shots.

And you're always allowed
in the VIP stand.

Yes, that too.

How long do you want to stay king?

Why?

Do you want to mark your agenda
in advance?

When you have to start?

Here, listen to this.

La Republica from Italy.

The crown prince's wife is the daughter
of a former member of the government

under Jorge Videla's
military dictatorship.

- Here we go again.
- Yes.

Alexander Pechtold also asked questions
in the House of Representatives, so...

I don't want it again, Noor.

I want to be judged for everything
I have fought for over the past years.

For who I am.

I love my family but they cannot attend.

At the coronation.

It is what it is.

Well, you'll walk up from there,
stop here and make a quarter turn.

Then you can...

Can I...?

Oh yes, I would
actually love to do that too...

Oh yes, of course.

It is your crown.

Yes.

You go first.

Yes, that...

Feel this. Here, just feel it.

Thank God no one ever really
has to wear that crown on their head.

Mom.

Good to have you here.

Hi, darling.

Your Majesty, could I have your son
a little longer?

But of course.

Hey.

Claus always said,

that crown is literally as heavy
as it is figuratively.

Nice.

Are you relieved?

Yes.

Yes, I'm really looking forward
to working in my studio

and reading to Friso when he comes home.

I am delighted that Alexander
is so well prepared for his task.

And you were responsible for that too,
Máxima.

I am very proud of you.

Thank you.

That means a lot.

And I understand that it is not easy,

such an important day without your family.

But we are your family too.

I know that.

Good.

I would mind your...

Yes, exactly.

It leaves stains.

Okay.

That's a joke.

No, sorry about that.

Today, I'm making way
for a new generation.

I'm about to hand over the throne
to my son Willem-Alexander,

who is willing to take on
the responsibility of this great task.

Your Majesty.

- You may follow us.
- Yes.

Are we ready?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Perhaps we should wave.

Good.

Go ahead and wave.

Yes?

With confidence, I dare
to say to myself and to the world,

I accept this office with conviction.

In addition, I realize how fortunate I am
to have the support of my wife, Máxima.

She is aware

of the personal limitations that her
position sometimes requires.

She has embraced our country
and is Dutch among the Dutch.

And to the fullest, she is ready to serve
my kingship and our Kingdom

with her many capacities.
