Today Friday 16 August 2019 our princess Christina died.
A REQUIEM
Announced very short but solemn.
She turned 72 years old.
I know this is not young, but this age is too young to die.
She died in the Netherlands from bone cancer.
Discovered in 2008, now deceased.
My negative character is such that I always get a picture of the theme that is mentioned, in this case “bone cancer”.
Why do I find her so special?
She was born with an eye disorder because Princess Juliana, her mother, got a red dog when she was expecting Christina.
So much turmoil in her life, but she has become the person she wanted to be.
She is married to a civilian boy and has not asked the Dutch government for approval, which means that she no longer belongs to the Royal Family.
So for love she has this for over.
Now she is cremated and not buried in the royal tomb.
Yesterday evening the whole of the Netherlands saw a very nice complete report from her baby years up to and including her death.
No, she has not been a pathetic princess with a disability,
but a brave and happy person who knows what she wants and
led her own life.
Married to a man of her choice, had three children, later divorced and lived to death with and for the music. Sung on festive occasions by her family and “close friends”.
Until today I did not know that she had really received a “piece of paper” for her full-fledged music and singing studies. How happy I am to know exactly how she had lived. All the gossip of the press “erased” from my memory. Her name was Marijke, but she herself changed that to Christina.
How good is that!
She lived her last days in Noordeinde Palace. First it was Huize Eikenhorst in Wassenaar, then London, New York and Italy. Her ashes will not be placed in the family grave, but where Friso is buried.
Rest In Peace, dear Princess Christina
and your Princess Christina competition will continue to exist, for sure!
To discover young talents and guide them to a professional future.
When Princess Christina did not do anything with her voice, “someone” from her own environment said “you should not use your voice that way, your voice breaks down” So she was already singing, but without lessons. After the training she gave music lessons as a music teacher
(New York) and more. Also more consciously sung.
If I may say so, she is not inferior to La Callas, through her singing one also hears her own personality: strong, gentle and very sweet and happy.
At La Callas you hear that she was not happy.
Well, I don’t have a talent for singing, but I can know someone’s personality through her singing.
That is also innate.
Again, because I can’t sing,
Is this my Requiem for Princess Christina.
