^Eh, Juliana did the same thing when she was a similar age to Beatrix. I wouldn't read too much into it.

Re: Queen Beatrix to announce abdication
An appropriate acknowledgment that a monarch of NED is not magically irreplaceable. Whereas those of the Bloody Brits will "only leave in a box".  (Like another head of a church and a state.... whoever happens 2B Pope @ a given time).
