Oostburg recycling shop seeks to donate royal photo album

Volunteers at a recycling shop in Oostburg want to give King Willem-Alexander a photo album containing old photographs and postcards of the Dutch royal family. The album was donated to the shop by a Belgian, and volunteer Gerry Fieret said it was too special to sell.

Fieret suspects the album is more than 100 years old. It includes, among other items, a postcard of the young Princess Juliana in Zeeland costume and continues through the birth of Willem-Alexander. She hopes Hugo de Jonge, the King’s Commissioner in Zeeland, will collect the album and take it to The Hague.
