We'll also examine how the Netherlands became an independent monarchy. Learn more about the Dutch royal family, and their descendants who became kings or queens. The Dutch tricolor (which symbolizes the sun) and the Dutch coat-of-arms will also be discussed.
Dutch tricolor
Originating as a republican banner in the Batavian Revolution of late 18th century, the Dutch tricolor Flag was adopted. It inspired many revolution-based flags such as the Statenvlag. This was the first official Dutch Tricolor. The government adopted a modified version of the tricolor in 1477 with a rampant lion in the middle. Although the colors were later changed, there was no law to officially make the tricolor. Later, the Dutch state added the symbol of the lion to its flag.
Dutch coat-of-arms
The Dutch coat of arms depicts the crest for a family. It is simple and elegant. Prior to the Dutch state having a coat, most people used a familiewapen, also known as a family crest. This type crest was mostly used by nobility, upper-class families, and not working-class families. This type of symbol is no longer as common, but it is still very popular.
Queen Wilhelmina
King Frederick VIII of The Netherlands died before his 70th birthday. Queen Wilhelmina became the queen regnant. She ruled the Netherlands fifty-eight year, with her mother acting as regent. People admired her independence and she was a beloved monarch. Her reign was marked by war, the Great Depression and the fall of the Netherlands as an independent colony.
Prince Claus
The Dutch Royal Family has long been fascinated with African countries. Born on December 25, 1958, the prince was fascinated with Africa. In fact, she was elected chairman of the National Commission for Development Strategy. It is a public body that promotes the Dutch government’s African policy. Beatrix of The Netherlands was appointed her successor at The Hague’s Huis ten Bosch Palace. In April 1980, Queen Beatrix abdicated. Claus was named regent in the event Queen Beatrix died before her 18th birthday.
Queen Beatrix
Queen Beatrix, the Dutch monarch from 1980 to 2013, was her name. She was part of the Dutch royal family. Her reign helped the Netherlands rise to the top of international affairs. After the 2013 economic crisis, she was forced to resign. Surprisingly, she decided to resign in 2013 to tend her personal matters.

How to get a Hollywood Walk of Fame star
In 1960, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce created the Hollywood Walk of Fame (HWOF). The HWOF is located at 6233 Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. It consists of 2,711 stars embedded into the sidewalk along Hollywood Boulevard. Each star represents a person who has contributed to television, radio, theatre, music, motion pictures, or any other aspect of popular culture. The HWOF currently lists 1,922 people.
To become a HWOF member, you need to submit a name to Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. They then submit your details to the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. Once approved, a certificate will be sent to you stating that you are eligible. This includes your name as well as date of birth and the city where you live. You also receive a bronze plaque with your name engraved on it. This plaque is attached to a concrete base located in front of the designated Star.
You may apply to be a star if you are nominated by a HWOF member or if you make significant contributions to television, radio, TV, theatre, music or other forms of "popular culture". A committee evaluates all nominations and then decides whether to approve them. If they do so, they send a message to the applicant's address explaining their decision. If the person accepts the nomination, he/she receives a second letter confirming acceptance. The applicant then pays $25 to the Hollywood Chamber of commerce, which forwards the money to the City of Los Angles Department of Cultural Affairs.
The department issues an official check payable to Hollywood Chamber of commerce. This check is then sent to the Hollywood Walk of Fame Foundation. The foundation pays any artist or organization that submitted an application. The fee is then paid to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce at $12.50. The City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs pays the remainder.
After the artist has been awarded his/her star, they are eligible to join the HWOF. To be listed on the HWOF, you must pay the remaining balance owed to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. The amount due is dependent on the number of years since you were first recognized. If you were first honoured in 1990, then you would owe $15,000. For example, if your first nomination was in 1990, you would owe $15,000. However, if it had been in 1980, you would owe 10,000.
If you want to remove yourself from the HWOF, you need to contact the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and pay off the remainder of your debt. They will remove the name of your from the list.
How old must one be to get a HWOF star
When nominated, one must have at least 18-years-old. To be eligible for a star, you must still be alive. After receiving a Star, one can still be Nominated for another star after ten Years.
What happens if I die before my star gets put up?
A family member can nominate your name for a star. If there are no known living relatives, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce will place the memorial marker in front of it.
Why can't we just choose a different street and not have stars all over?
The HWOF isn't meant to be an historical monument. It is meant as a memorial to all who contributed to the history of film.
What happened with the stars that were stolen? Around 1,200 stars were taken by the thieves. Each star weighs approximately 250-300 pounds, which equates to 4 tons of stars.
