Hereditary Succession
Constitution:
The monarchy is hereditarily fulfilled by legitimate descendants of King William 1, Prince of Orange-Nassau
and passes on the death of the King by succession to his legitimate descendants, where upon the oldest child has priority.
Be gentle to the ones who have reached the higher shores,they too are just but thrown upon it.
Poor Beatrix, my dearest.
The crown you have worn with fervor can only pass to the first born.
He will harm the reputation of the office anew.
Alas, poor you.
And it must be she, whom you have desired, sought, and found for him, who must still it with charm...
Be gentle to the ones who have reached the higher shores, they too are just but thrown upon it.
Without tuning between nature and duty, talent and destiny.
Poor William Alexander, poor fellow,
The barrier is raised; it is your turn.
Succession is a sacrifice for the people.
Be gentle to the ones who have reached the higher shores, they too are just but washed onto it.
Poor Maxima, poor queen.
The sacrifice is made: the father does not come, and you weep.
That makes you human and soft.
All our common sense is against the inheritance of his guilt.
His actions are his; your life is ours.
Also inheritance, but different, different, different...
Be gentle to the ones who have reached the higher shores, they too are just but born upon it.
Poor, poor Amalia. Poor child
The path is paved, there is no way out.
For comfort swaddled with satin, velvet and ermine;
by luxury lifted and gently rocked by quality.
But you may never relax, never forsake,
never forget that you descended...
