Thursday, 28-08-1997
28 August. A historical day. Welcome home again. It means to
you a year of freedom. To me a year of new inspiration. A year
of a new relationship with Britain. A new starting point. A new
process. Forgetting Spain and Spanish for a while and concentrating
on England and English. I look back with a great sense of satisfaction.
I have learned to know you in a year. First by buying two books
of Andrew
Morton. Then newspapers in which I followed you and learned
to know your world. As you stepped out of the royal household,
I got into, although out of a humble atmosphere. You have been
my inspiration to change. You inspired me to celebrate Christmas
in the cradle of our royal family. You inspired me to found a
new company in Britain with a world wide known name. You inspired
me to invest all my money in a new relationship. You were - and
still are - my invisible manager, the new partner on the other
side of the sea. I learned a lot during the last year. First of
all I learned to improve my English. I got new ideas, new thoughts
and noticed that they are the same as yours. I even adapted your
pronunciation after having seen and heard the video tape of your
visit to Angola. I consider you as my spiritual sister or better:
spiritual partner. You inspired me to come to England in April
with a painting under my arms, representing a new organization.
If it will become a family company. That will be your choice.
I started the process and created the conditions. That process
is still going on. Today I see
the smiling faces of
Mr
Van Mierlo and Mrs
Sorgdrager on the front page of 'de Telegraaf'. I think Mrs
Sorgdrager (Caretaker) has taken good care for you and me during
the last year. I will thank her therefore today in a letter.
Today I will nominate Elizabeth - for the
third time - as the Business
Woman of the Year. That nomination must be granted because
it is a great achievement to lead the
most important management centre of the country as the first
feminine statutary director in our history. Cancer: 'Today you are
verbally talented. Don't underestimate the power of your words.
If you need a sounding board for your ideas, visit then your neighbours
or family. You have every reason to be optimistic.' That's obvious.
Your frank support of the actual government has sounded all over
the world. And you are completely right to honour the party that
took over your idea on a total landmine ban. You will find the
sounding board in Hyde
Park of course metaphorically spoken. It is this letter and
the letter that I am going to write to our Minister
of Justice. On my way to
the fitness this morning I met a group of wel dressed persons
lead by a lady and her mother wearing an IES green dress and a
green umbrella. I showed her my red umbrella and asked her if
they were making a city tour. 'No I am a bride', was her reply.
'I am looking for a bride as well' was my answer. 'Oh, how nice'
she reacted in good Dutch. 'Please be my guest and have a cup
of coffee with us. Perhaps you'll find a new bride in our group'.
Unfortunately I had to reject her offer and told her that I am
looking for a bride in England. Besides I had to go to the Heart
Fitness. 13.45 Letter
to Veuve Clicquot. Letters
to the Jury of the 'Prix Veuve Clicquot' concerning 'Business
Woman 1998' and to the Minister
of Justice titled 'Anniversary' concerning my First Engagement after My Divorce in which I invite the complete government on the
Party of 28 September. I also noticed that you have the same fitness
regime that I have. That's positive. I read pages 1, 6, 20, 21
and 22 of The Mirror. One remark about the article in 'Le Monde'.
It shows the very big importance of very well guided communication
processes. It is the specialism of the woman whom I nominated
today for the third time to be proclaimed the Business Lady of
the year 1998: The First
Lady of the Netherlands. I also understand your gratefulness
to the present British Government by taking over your ideas in
banning out landmines on a world wide scale. That is humanitarian
indeed and You may be grateful to people and organizations that
support your humanitarian objectives. I
read a remarkable observation on page 22 'DIANA'S confidence in being her own woman raises
the question of who her advisers are these days'. On this first birthday of My
First Engagement After My Divorce I hope that I have been
a good support to You during the last year. And I think the second
year will even be better. That's right. Sometimes I feel fooled
indeed. Specificly concerning all the gossips in the papers about
'Love' instead of 'Strategy'. I don't have to sign up for a course,
because I established my course already and that will be supported
by the professionals of Corporate
Governance. Because there will still be a lot to 'Govern'
next year. Today you will be received by my friends from KENSINGTON
PALACE, BUCKINGHAM
PALACE, WINDSOR
CASTLE,
HAMPTON COURT PALACE
and ETON COLLEGE.
We love You all! And perhaps You receive a telephone call today
of the Dutch
First Lady 1998! I ended this evening with the song of Julio Iglesias:
Let's sing a song of Joy, of Peace and Understanding!
