Princess Margriet features in a video that was made for an exposition about the Dutch merchant fleet in the Maritime museum in rotterdam. The princess is the godchild of the fleet. She shares some anecdotes, among them that she received an enormous cake from the fleet on her 11th birthday. But she was only allowed to take 1 bite of it, the rest of the cake went to a charity.

The princess opened the exposition earlier this month.

In Geneva the princess was interviewed by RTL Boulevard. The royalty reported commented how the princess is a silent force of the RF. She works hard, no scandals and she is easy to get access to etc etc etc. Well deserved praise IMHO.

In the interview the princess highlighter very to the point what the red cross was doing and what the main issues are at the moment: Haiti and Pakistan (where the winter started).
