The Hague, Netherlands -- Ordinarily so meticulous that she checks everything right down to her golden carriage, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands was blindsided last week by a scandal involving her family and an organized crime figure.

The queen's middle child, Prince Johan Friso, 35, admitted on Friday that he and Smit had been less than forthcoming about her contacts with Klaas Bruinsma, a gangster and drug baron who had been executed, gangland style, in 1991.

 Speech from the Throne   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Speech from the Throne, sometimes referred to by the shorter term Throne Speech, is an event in certain monarchies in which the monarch (or a represenative) reads a prepared speech to a complete session of parliament, outlining the government's agenda for the coming year.
In the United Kingdom, the speech from the throne is commonly called the Queen's Speech and is part of a lavish affair known as the State Opening of Parliament, with many formalities and traditions, including the Queen's wearing of her official state crown.
Furthermore, in some Commonwealth Realms such as Australia and Canada, a throne speech is also prepared by state or provincial governments to outline local plans and is read by the respective Governors of the Australian states or Lieutenant Governors of the Canadian provinces, who represent the sovereign at the subnational level.
