The Dutch king is facing a crisis of trust with his people, given their anger at his behavior during the Corona pandemic, which led to a significant deterioration in his popularity, according to a recent survey.

While the Netherlands celebrates the national holiday of King's Day, King William Alexander discovered that for the first time since the years after World War II, less than half of the Dutch, specifically 47%, trust him, according to the latest survey, while it was 76% in 2020. This survey follows the public outcry over the king's actions during the Corona pandemic.

And in March 2020, the king gave a very prestigious speech to his people, about the pandemic and the importance of the closure, stressing the need for “sympathy and the need to take care of one another”, but by the summer, pictures were taken of King and Queen Maxima in Greece, not caring about the rules of social separation, when they were eating dinner In a restaurant.

The royal couple traveled to their villa in the Peloponnese peninsula in Greece by government plane.

"These are bad numbers for the King, as trust and satisfaction with the King is less than half," royal correspondent Albert Buss said. "From a historical point of view, these numbers are very low.

These figures have always been rejected in the royal court.”

Although the statistic indicated that 58% of Dutch people still support the Royal Institution, this number was 75% in 2020.

The king plays a constitutional, essential, and symbolic role, similar to the elected president in countries such as Germany.
