What is the capital of the Netherlands?

Although there is only a small and very recent legal status for Amsterdam as capital of the Netherlands (1983), the city has been recognized as capital ever since 1814. Partly because it is a Royal City (used not only for the inauguration of kings, but also for royal weddings; note though that royal burials take place in Delft), and also because of its dominant position in Dutch history: since the end of the 16th century the city has grown to be the largest city in the Netherlands and the main centre of trade, economics, finance and culture. The Hague is never referred to as capital; Dutch school children are taught that "Amsterdam is the capital of the country".
