New Delhi: In the country that first legalized gay marriage, the Dutch crown daughter had the right to marry someone with gender without releasing his rights on the throne, the prime minister said on Tuesday.
Daughter of Crown Catharina-Amalia, 17, hasn’t made comments about this problem, and a little known about her personal life.
Questions arose after books that were recently published argue that the country’s rules exclude the possibility of the same-sex royal couple.
But PM Mark Rutte said the time had changed since one of his last predecessors discussed this issue in 2000.
“The government believes that heirs can also marry someone with the same sex,” Rutte wrote in a letter to parliament.
Gay marriage was ratified in the Netherlands in 2001.
