Dutch Royalty is Visiting Western Michigan Today

The Dutch King and Queen are visiting Michigan today. According to Mlive.com, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima will be visiting Meijer Gardens and downtown Grand Rapids during the middle of the day, before leaving for Chicago.

Queen Maxima is from Argentina. They met in 1999 at a fair in Spain. Apparently, when they first met, Willem didn't tell her at first that he was a prince and then, when he did tell her, she thought he was joking.

Which is proof that all those Disney movies are based on fact.

Here's the timeline and the facts about today's royal visit.
