Van Gerwen presented with Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau medal: 'It is a wonderful honour for me'

Michael van Gerwen has today received his medal to signify him being a Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau which is similar to the MBE awarded in the UK.

He was handed his medal by the major on behalf of the King Willem-Alexander and spoke about this calling it a wonderful honour. Van Gerwen is also as he says the youngest to receive one so he is really proud as a result.
“It is a wonderful honour for me,” said 'Mighty Mike'.
“It is something really special and something I didn’t expect so young. I am told I am the youngest to receive this award so I am really very proud.
“It is a great occasion from me and my family and I will always be very proud.”
