Just a moment about that ‘inappropriate’ joke by Arjen Lubach...

Arjen Lubach comment royal family

Well well, good good, that Arjen knows how to make the headlines lately. If he doesn't devour RUMAG, he makes a ‘misplaced joke’ about princess Ariane. Well, that certainly piques my curiosity...

So I click and scroll and look. What has the gentleman done now? Well, um, sorry, I'll immediately take you out of the sensationalism, because this was quite a storm in a teacup. Arjen made a screenshot joke about princess Ariane on Twitter and his followers got angry.

During the king's speech, there was suddenly a sound that startled the youngest princess. Arjen shared the screenshot on his Twitter account. ‘As the image is zoomed out live on TV,’ he wrote. 

Some found it funny, but many did not. In fact, people got angry. ‘Bad move. It's a child for crying out loud. Very beneath your level,’ said one of the comments. ‘Nice and easy, Lubach. Go do something useful today!’, said another. ‘You're not around on Sunday, so is this how you score cheap points?’

Good good, watch out, Arjen. In the Netherlands, you can say a lot, until it concerns the royal family. Anyone had vinegar for breakfast? Anyone?
