Over 2,800 receive Dutch Royal honor, including Kenley Jansen & anti-Zwarte Piet activist
A total of 2,832 people were given Royal honors on Wednesday, slightly less than last year, when the total was 3,026 people. The largest number of people given a decoration on a single day in the Netherlands is traditionally the last working day before King's Day. This year, King Willem-Alexander's birthday falls on Thursday. Among the 2,832 recipients, 1,032 are women, which amounts to 36.4 percent. That is the highest percentage in recent years.
