Like I just posted on Pandemonium, he was a great man...

Quote:

For the foreigners; Prince Claus (Claus von Amsberg) was the husband of our Queen, Beatrix.
I always found him to be a very funny man - he went against convention and tradition (by refusing to wear a tie for instance) and had a good sense of humour.
He'd been ill for years - Parkinson's disease most prominent among his ailments. He'd been in and out of the intensive care these last months, suffering respiratory and heart problems, and he had a kidney removed as well.
He reached age 76.
