Bernhard is dead, like Arafat is dead. I say -is dead- because he is, isn't he. He is as dead as Wendy on November 11 2004 said dead is.
Can you believe that he peacefully died? Yesterday at 18:40 he died in a hospital in the city I live.
Most likely he told the Doctors that he would have a shot of I-don't-know-what to die. He was ready to die I think. When he died his family was in Amsterdam on a party.(!!)
Bernhard, the father of our queen Beatrix died solely amongst doctors in a hospital far away from the world he lived in. The contrast is so extraordinary. Yes, he was a remarkable man. You should almost like the dead man.
