Crown Prince Willem Alexander of the Netherlands came under fire from some of his staunchest supporters on Monday for building a luxury villa in the impoverished southern African country of Mozambique.

The Dutch socialists have today raised parliamentary questions about the holiday home which crown-prince William-Alexander wants to build for himself and wife Maximá in Mozambique.
The Socialist Party's MP Ewout Irrgang cites reports stating that local Machangula regional councillors, police and tribal chiefs were 'bribed with free houses' by the South African project developers.
