Dear Princess, In this letter I would like to reveal confidentially
a personal and most sincere story about things that happened in
my life during the last few months. After having sent a letter
to the crownprinces of the Benelux
and Spain the 31st
of July - as the final touch of (in my vision) a world wide
security operation - I visited the United
Kingdom starting with lighting
a candle in Canterbury
Cathedral the first
of August.
During ten days I visited some
places very known to you like
Hampton
Court, Windsor
Castle, Eton, Blenheim Palace and Buckingham
Palace.
With my two sons of my former
marriage - I divorced in april 1992 - I stayed at the campingsite
of Laleham, between Kensington
and Windsor.
On Saturday in Covent
Garden a lady offered us a corsage of heather. 'It brings you luck', she said. In Hampton
Court Palace we visited the rooms of your former Dutch
King William III and Queen
Mary, daughter of Anne
Hyde, and the state apartments of Henry
VIII.
In St.
George's Chapel at Windsor
Castle a very kind lady explained me the history of the Order
of the Garter and the relationships with our
Queen, King
Juan Carlos and the Archiduke
of Luxemburg.
The sixth of August I visited
Henley-on-Thames
and on the terrace of the establishment The
Angel on the Bridge
I wrote some postcards to some persons
whom I consider as my best friends.
I also wrote a poem for on old
colleague of mine who had been living in Henley receiving
there her horse ride
training and who always has been a great
mental support to me.
These days she carries very heavy
responsibilities and I happened to call her Queen Elizabeth. Back
on the campingsite I found a little bag with a notice '28'.
From that moment I could not get you out of my mind and the 28th
of August I sent a bunch of 28
roses to my former Queen
Elizabeth to conmemorate your new freedom and the request
to send them to Kensington
Palace if she could impossibly accept them herselves.
Sunday the 8th
of September appeared a lady
on the bridge behind my house. I
recognised her eyes and after having
deposited by fax my bill of 80
milllion Dutch guilders at the Prime
Minister of the Dutch government I decided to read the books
of Andrew Morton
about your life. I hope you won't blame me that I did not pay
you my attention before. In fact I had been to much involved in
my Spanish affairs but what I read has struck me very deeply. It appeared
to me if I were reading my own life story recognising the same
situations. The struggle to escape the golden cage and the personal
struggle to be meaningful
for mankind. You
must have had thousands of comments already on these books. But
if you don't mind I give you my personal comment as well, hoping
that way you will learn to know me a little better. I think we
share the feeling of predestination. I know what it means to be
the target of people and organizations trying to force to do things
against the own free will and to 'treat' with medicines instead
of giving a little peace of mind and understanding giving undesired
advices. I have the experience been put into the spotlights and
having been the target of criminal organizations and I can understand
what that has meant to you. I know how difficult it is to be forced
to be another person than yourself and to be persecuted constantly
by shameless journalists. I read
that we have the same friends in Spain.
I feel even obliged to receive Don
Juan Carlos or Don Felipe
in a confidential place and I understand that you need a mission
to express your ideals for a better world. We share the interest
for astrology and I know that Cancer and Scorpio fit very well together. Even more: Cancer
is capable to undo Scorpio from its sharp sting. And I'm a real one. From
the other hand Scorpio is capable to protect Cancer, to fight for her
and give her the safety where she is searching for. I think I
also have the capacity of clairvoyance and I know that we will meet.
We share the preference for composers like
Mozart, Verdi and Tsjaikowski and I share the idea to care for those who are
dying on the street, like the drug addicts in the streets of Amsterdam.
I share the love for
your children and I can understand why
you are considered as an
angel. These
days I decided to withdraw for some time in my ivory tower to reflect
the period from 1991,
when I took very heavy personal decisions, 'to become myself' as
my teacher told me. 'You
will be yourself' he said and made a
trip to Nepal. I think we passed through exactly the same process
and the time to build
bridges has come now. I have been fascinated
by the new age movement and adopting
a leading role. I am contemplating about
the future of monarchy in the new European
Union. The future of your children.
And as a matter of fact my last wish to fulfill my life is helping you with their education in collaboration with my friends of the royal houses
of Spain, Belgium
and the Netherlands, to begin
with. I have been a teacher for children, speak six languages,
know the world of management and organization-development and I think I am able to get them in touch with
new leaders towards the year
2000,
but also being a friend and a second
father. After having finished my development
tasks in Spain
and the Benelux
I will consider this as my
next mission, hoping you will support
me. I will give back my support to you. Human
Resources Management
and Education will be my favourite preoccupation in the next
future. For the future of a new king
I will go deep into the heart. To be the center of the world is
a difficult position as you know, Dear Princess. But I
think I can take the responsibility being conscious of my weaknesses
however.
In the book of your new life
I recognised my own
story. I worked for three years in an
environment where the use
of the coded message was an absolute necessity
to implement 'change'. I had to fight against criminal organizations
and against a criminalised police-organization. My telephone line
has been tapped during a long time and I had to be inventive to
find out means of communication with people I could trust. In fact there was only
one besides my old colleague: the Minister
of Justice. She had to fight the same struggle.
I had to lock up confidential documents
in hidden places and to burn copies of my letters. It had nothing
to do with paranoia but I had to take security measures against
those who could be able to abuse my situation as the world wide known owner of the trade
mark Instituto
Cervantes in the
Benelux since 1992. I had
to be carefull in every situation and in May
1993 I had to withdraw to a secret place between grey walls
during the day and to work during the night to combat the enemy. The
situation is now under control and I am very happy having survived
the war. In October
1992 - shortly after my divorce and a large visit through
the whole of Spain - I had a last meeting with my old colleague and
she advised me not to lean on anybody but myself and to maintain the course of the 1991-plan to spread my wings. The year 1992
meant for me the start
of a new life of new discoveries for
which the Expo
of Seville was the very symbol. Just like you I had thrown off my chains to start with the
new dream. I spoke with many goodwilling young people in Salamanca, Madrid, Aranjuez, La Mancha, Seville, Malaga, Frigiliana, Granada and Alicante and everything turned out te be
the way I had foreseen.
In 1993
however I had to be encaged another time. For security reasons this
time and to avoid interpretations of the 'journaille'. Not in
a golden cage but between four grey walls among people with sycological
problems. Just like you I had the
vision having signed a contract
and to be patient untill the very new start would be possible.
I made that new start the 10th
of September this year in NOORDWIJK,
where it all started. You read
the same books as I did like
'The Power of Positive Thinking' and
spring 1993
has been even so meaningfull to you as to me. The need to retire from public life. The feeling to be encaged and being watched by
camera's, police-officers and criminals and not to be believed.
The need of a period
of complete privacy. In the same period
my world collapsed but I decided to build new bridges, for example
in the direction of the Malaca
Institute and the world of Dutch and Belgian
teachers in Spanish.
I decided to restore order in
my country and let people know where I was up to: the realisation
of my Cervantes-plan.
To restore the values for which Cervantes had been fighting in his time of intolerance.
I don't think about problems in the past. The past is not changeable, but I think We
can change the world and make it better,
thanks to the 'Annus horribilis' of 1993.
The 21st
of August I made a bicycle-tour from the Palace
of Huis-ten-Bosch along the Dutch
coast and from that moment on the discussion
about a bicycle started, even by Mr.
Warren Christopher the first
of October. The next day I received a mystery
present representing the
throne of England, a resurrected princess,
the broken hearts of
two children and a helping hand. I cried
for you.
It would be a great honour to
help you. I consider the
members of the royal houses of the
Netherlands, Belgium
and Spain
as my friends and I think that feeling is mutual as shown by enclosed
letters from the Houses
of Orange,
Saksen-Coburg and Borbón
y Borbón. It would
also be a great honour to invite you occasionally to help me with
conferences in order to express the Cervantes-vision of justice
and prosperity on a
world wide scale. I read you made a plan
for the future. Just
like I did. I hope it may coincide. I almost finished my work
on the continent. A great deal of action-plans has been
developed by upright
persons with a high sense of responsibilty. They must work out a new infrastructure,
a new nest of concepts. They will reduce complexity by implementing
new management and educational programs, pro-active
partnership roles, with
partners being capable to do the same things. They will think
about the responsibilities
in partnership, a process
of rationalization to achieve new
challenges. They have
to translate strategy
into action. They have
to put their partnership
in proces, getting the
actionplans into action. It's my role to put ahead the vision
into development and to be aware that the first component to good
leadership is not to be negative by translating leadership-issues
into actions. Management
skills in Dutch-Spanish intercultural management must be developed and capital to finance the program has
to be found.
There will be necessity of efficiency, effectiveness and innovations and the necessary culture-shock of top management.
This process has started the 18th
of September in
the Dutch
parliament. I have
to finish the job here on the continent
by implementing the Government of the Foundation
Cervantes Benelux, to be expanded into European
Cervantes Foundation afterwards. My next station will be Victoria Station
to ask you to be my
ambassador and to offer you my services.
In the opinion of Andrew
Morton you need a loving multimillionaire. I have not the
capital yet, but you certainly will agree that the trade mark Instituto Cervantes is
worth a fortune and I need to make a start. Recently
I established a permanent right. I hope you will give
me your support to make that start possible. From the other hand
I will take measures against Dutch photographers who stain your
dignity and reputation. You can count on me as a real parallel partner. The
norms and values of European Nobility. That's where I stand for.
Hoping to hear from you soon. With Love. P.S. I was not aware that I descended from high
nobility, but it
may be worthwile.
