King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands himself launched the invitation. In a video posted on Monday, February 20th on the official website of the Palace and their Facebook page, the Dutch ruler sets out to invite 150 people to his 50th birthday. But be careful, this is not for anyone. To be able to share with him and the rest of the family at the royal palace in Amsterdam on April 28th, the day after his 50th birthday, you must reside in the Netherlands and, above all, be born on the same day as him. In addition, we must celebrate in this year 2017, like him, a jubilee anniversary, that is to say a number of years that can be divisible by five. Applications are open from the age of 20 years.

Those who fulfill these conditions and would like to participate in this exceptional royal meal should register via a dedicated website: www.WA50.nl. And without lying around. A random draw will mark the winners on March 3, 2017.
