    Just to add:

    An announcement has been made by the Netherlands Government Information Service on behalf of the Dutch royal family:

    The funeral of His Royal Highness Prince Friso will take place on the afternoon of Friday 16 August in Lage Vuursche, in the municipality of Baarn. It will be a private ceremony.

    After a service in the Stulpkerk in Lage Vuursche the Prince will be laid to rest in the adjacent cemetery.

    The service will be officiated by Reverend C.A. ter Linden… The Royal Family trusts that its privacy will be respected on this day.

    It was also announced that a memorial service for Prince Friso will be held later in the year.

    No, the funeral is supposed to be very low key, relatives and a few specially invited friends only, not even the minister president is invited.

    And it is not in Amsterdam but in Baarn, at enough of a distance that you should not notice much or even anything at all in Amsterdam. Certainly no disruptions of normal life.
