Vereniging Martijn - Photographs of Princess Amalia

Photographs of Princess Amalia

The organization was in the news in October 2007 when it was learned that photographs of Princess Amalia, daughter of Willem-Alexander, Prince of Orange and his wife Princess Maxima, were on display on the website's forum. The Prince went to court to request a €50,000 fine and the removal of the photos from the website. The court agreed that the photos must be removed, and imposed a fine of €5,000 to be paid every time photos of children of the royal family are placed on the site again. The organisation had to pay €1,235 in costs.

Famous quotes containing the words photographs of, photographs and/or princess:

    No one lives in this room
    without confronting the whiteness of the wall
    behind the poems, planks of books,
    photographs of dead heroines.
    Without contemplating last and late
    the true nature of poetry. The drive
    to connect. The dream of a common language.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    As photographs give people an imaginary possession of a past that is unreal, they also help people to take possession of space in which they are insecure.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    We are eager to tunnel under the Atlantic and bring the Old World some weeks nearer to the New; but perchance the first news that will leak through into the broad, flapping American ear will be that the Princess Adelaide has the whooping cough.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
