Royal waiting room

The room is rarely used by the Belgian monarchy and has transferred ownership to the National Railway Company of Belgium.

One of the last times Queen Beatrix used the waiting room at Den Haag HS station (Hollands Spoor) was on 31 October 2004, when she visited Breda with the Polish president to commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of Breda's liberation by the Polish army.

On Saturday 16 June 2007, Queen Beatrix used this waiting room when she travelled by royal train to Barendrecht station for the opening of the Betuweroute.

On 31 March 2011, this room was opened to the public when the Freedom Train was christened in the presence of Prince Willem-Alexander.

On 15 February 2013, the same waiting room was used by Prince Willem-Alexander and his family prior to a winter sports trip to Lech in Austria with a royal private railroad car coupled to the Alpenexpress.
