Students Celebrate Queens Day in Amsterdam

IES Abroad Amsterdam students witnessed history being made this past April. After 33 years, Queen Beatrix, 75, of the Netherlands abdicated the throne, making way for her son Willem-Alexander, 46, who became the first king of the Netherlands in 123 years. King Willem-Alexander was crowned on April 30 amidst the jubilant Queen’s Day celebrations. Our students donned their festive orange attire and joined the celebrations during this momentous occasion.
