tv Newstation RTBF interrupted the regular news to mention that Vlaanderen  ( dutchspeaking northern part) has separated from  Wallonië (frenchspeaking south).
In reaction to this the king of Belgium prins Albert has left the country.

In reaction to this, the northern provinces of the Netherlands, Friesland an Groningen, has separated form Holland as well. This has resulted in  Queen Beatrix leaving the country also.

Both royalties were last seen in the Bahamas,  on a luxury yacht (owned by former beer-tycoon Freddy Heineken) where they are discussing the new political sitiuation.

Its only a matter of time now before the monarchy of the Netherlands becomes a full-blown banana-republic, correction: patato-republic.

Hmmm that would be interesting but it looks like it didn't actually happen...

«La Flandre a proclamé son indépendance !», «le roi a quitté le pays !», «la Belgique n'existe plus !» Les téléspectateurs de la RTBF ont vécu, en direct, un moment historique… ou presque, puisque l’édition spéciale à laquelle ils ont assisté hier soir, n’était autre qu’une politique fiction. - Le Figaro

Couldn't find an English version but you can read the French on lefigaro.fr
