Frank Lammers Recounts Joost Prinsen’s Relationship Advice Call
Prinsen, who passed away in 2025, called Lammers during his relationship with Beyer to express frustration about their time together. According to Lammers, Prinsen said on the phone, “I am with Noraly now, but I actually feel like I see her far too little. I think she is far too busy.”
Lammers responded directly to the actor’s complaints. “Joost, a woman like Noraly you never have alone,” Lammers told him, according to the podcast. “She has appointments, does things, speaks to people. Sometimes you just have to wait until it is your turn again.”
Prinsen accepted the advice immediately before ending the conversation. Lammers recalled the actor saying, “You’re right about that, my boy, thank you,” followed by hanging up.

Lammers expressed admiration for the partnership between Prinsen and Beyer, noting that both individuals were around eighty years old when they came together. “That was one of the most beautiful love stories of recent years,” Lammers said in the podcast. “That you still find love at that age, isn’t that fantastic?”
The relationship brought together two prominent figures in Dutch media and culture: Beyer, known for her career as a newsreader, and Prinsen, recognized for his acting and television work.
