Hoe de maansteen in ons museum kwam
Tijdens zes bemande maanvluchten van het Apollo-programma werd in totaal 382 kilo maanpuin verplaatst van de maan naar de aarde. De Amerikaanse president Richard Nixon schonk de monsters begin jaren zeventig aan koningin Juliana. Zij schonk ze vervolgens aan het museum. Het gaat om een stuk maangruis afkomstig van de Mare Tranquillitatis (Zee der Rust, de vlakte waar de Apollo landde) dat werd meegenomen door de bemanning van de Apollo 11-missie en maangruis uit de maankrater Littrow in het Taurusgebergte dat werd meegebracht met de laatste missie van het Apollo-project, Apollo 17.
The Moonstone in our museum came
During six manned moon flights of the Apollo program was moved a total of 382 kilograms of lunar debris from the moon to Earth. The US president Richard Nixon gave the samples in the early seventies to Queen Juliana. She then donated them to the museum. It is a piece of lunar dust from the Mare Tranquillitatis ( Sea of Tranquility , the plain where the Apollo landed ) which was taken by the crew of the Apollo 11 mission and lunar dust from the lunar crater Littrow in the Taurus Mountains , which was brought to the last mission of the Apollo project , Apollo 17 .

I could type random letters and numbers in the thread title and ATS will accept it.....until a moderator changes it after someone complains about it.
Again: your thread is not about the rock that the prime minister had. It's about the Apollo 11 astronauts giving the queen a moon rock. At least that is what your OP states.
If you had wanted to discuss the prime minister, you should have included that in the OP, however, again, there are already threads on that subject.
If you desire to prove that the news article is correct (and all the others found by the ATS members who have posted in this thread so far are wrong), then you need to find more than the one news article (which another member on Page 3 had to provide the source for).
This is why your thread is in Skunk Works: it's highly speculative and does not really have supporting sources for it.

That is correct the queen did receive moon rock from Nixon, the Queen did give these Apollo 11 moon rocks to the museum. But this is not the moon rock given to the Queen by the Apollo 11 crew as the article from 9 October 1969 reports.

Here is the source article that states that the Queen got a moon rock from the Apollo astronauts it is in Dutch.

She recieved it twice, one of apollo11 and one of apollo 17, as the museum site tells.

And still, you have yet to provide an explanation, or even your own opinion, of why the Queen of the Netherlands got a moon rock from the Apollo 11 crew, but nobody else in the world did.

Yep that is the story but this thread is about the moon rock given to the Dutch Queen in 1969 by the Apollo 11 astronauts.

the moon rock given to the queen must have been a fake moon rock, as the first moon rock given that same day is proven to be fake in 2009.

I know what you mean. We have now 3 gifts proven. , and maybe a fourth one from the paper 'Nieuwsblad van het Noorden'.
One of them is proven fake (petrified wood). The other 2 I just posted are real or fake, not known by now.
It does not matter to me, even if the last two are real. You do not need manned moonlandings to get these small moonstones.

Nope, you could just find a lunar meteorite and use its insides as the dust samples. Nobody would know any difference.
