Note that the 27th of April is actually both "Koningsdag" (King's Day)
and our king's birthday. The previous entry was quite wrong as the
30th of April was "Queen's Day" but not our Queen's (our previous
Queen's) birthday. Birthdays of our current and previous queens:
Queen Maxima May 17
Princess Beatrix January 31
Princess Juliana April 30

| i committed this, but note:
|
| - i uppercased "Day"
In Dutch, the day is called 'Koningsdag' (one word). The weird rules
about capitalizing proper names and parts of proper names in the
English language still confuses me, so I'll take your word for it :)
| - i used *the* Netherlands
I think that is the correct name.
| one more question though:
|
| calendar.holiday:12/15 Statue Day in Netherlands Antilles
This is 'Koninkrijksdag', or "Kingdom day", the day on which the
charter of the kingdom was signed. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koninkrijksdag for a bit more background.
| i left that entry alone because i couldn;t find anything about "statue
| day". is it really statue?! statute, maybe. but couldn;t find out what
| it was. any takers?
Given the "signing of the charter", I'm pretty sure what was meant was
'statute'.
