Beatrix of the Netherlands

Like, this is all matching up with exactly what you're saying and where you're leading us, Ben.

In '91, they also included Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands-

Mm

...

Ah.

Princess Beatrix.

I-

What comes to mind when we mention her?

Well, great many things because dance happens to be her favorite art form, and, uh, she and her late, uh, husband, uh, Prince Claus, they visited our performances many, many, many times.

And in fact, when, when Queen Beatrix, when, when she went f-for her first official visit, uh, to Paris to, to meet President Mitterrand-

State visit

... state visit, she took NDT, and she hired the Paris Opera, and we performed a whole evening piece called Kaguyahime.

On several occasions, she paired it with the same printed blouse.

A lilac wool coat dates back to 1982, when Anne wore it during a visit by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.

It subsequently appeared for Commonwealth Day and several Christmas appearances.

Then there's a cream skirt suit with orange piping.

Is this person a member of the Bilderbergs?

She is not Queen Beatrice.

She is not the Queen of England.

She is not Henry Kissinger.

Is this person a member of the Bilderbergs?

She is not Queen Beatrice.

She is not the Queen of England.

She is not Henry Kissinger.

It was...

Queen Beatrix's mum's birthday.

So it's the Queen's birthday, and that's the celebration.

And they just decided to keep the date because it was a fun time of year, sunny, good weather out.

Like, you know, like bad guys, all these bad guys and things like that.

But also it's like Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, and it's like Queen Beatrix and, and, and Prince a- uh, Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth and all.

So it's like the top of the food chain.

[chuckles] Maybe so, maybe, maybe literally the top of the food chain, um, eating people and all.
