Queen Rania of Jordan likes the rock band U2, but she isn’t their only royal fan.

Els in the Netherlands writes, “Last Monday (July 20) I enjoyed the first U2 concert (of two) in the Amsterdam Arena. The 360 degrees tour of U2. A wonderful concert!

“At the concert Bono mentioned some people by name (welcomed them), among others Crown Prince Willem-Alexander and his wife Maxima. When we heard this we were curious if they would really be there. Well, today I saw pictures and I can say yes, they were also there :) “

Thank you to Els for sharing this!
