When Queen Wilhelmina ascended the throne (1890 or 1898), this tree was planted and the fence was erected around it.
When Queen Juliana ascended the throne (1948), this tree was planted and the fence erected around it. Well... fence?
Both in Leeuwarden.
En we hebben ook nog een Beatrix- en Willem-Alexanderboom
ReplyDeleteThe 1890 tree was definitely more in favour. 😊
