Cabinet
First on Prinsjesdag: the king is finally allowed to tell a story in the Speech from the Throne
On Prinsjesdag, 2026-09-15, the king's Speech from the Throne will sound different than usual. The Jetten cabinet is discarding the traditional list of measures per ministry. Instead, the head of state is permitted to deliver a 'continuous story' outlining 'ambitions' for the future. This marks a significant change in the format, allowing the king to present a more narrative address rather than the customary enumeration of government plans.
