The king's Achilles heel - Jan Hoedeman

Hoedeman opens up the wonderful world of our royals in the polder, who struggle with their personal freedom, publicity and ministerial responsibility. April 27, 2023, King Willem-Alexander will have been in office for ten years: a good moment to take stock.

While his mother Beatrix, as queen, still had a role in the formation process, influenced politics and was in office twenty-four hours a day, King Willem-Alexander stretched his private domain to the maximum, sometimes at the expense of the Royal House. This increasingly leads to problems.

Political journalist Jan Hoedeman followed the abrasive relationship between monarchy and politics for years. It allows him to see patterns and make comparisons. From within he unlocks the wonderful world of the royals in the polder, who struggle with their personal freedom, publicity and ministerial responsibility. The King's Achilles Heel is a book for anyone who wants to know why the popularity of the monarchy has been declining for a few years and what the risks are.
