As such, Huis ten Bosch boasts extensive grounds that are practically crawling with greenery.
Channels and ponds also bring a sense of balance to the gorgeous scenery.

I really enjoyed getting to know all the islands and look forward to coming back.”
Over the years, she has been invited to a number of high-profile events.
AsEurope’s next generation of young royalsget older, many of these parties have involved priceless royal networking.
