Was it only co-incident or purpose that Margrietīs sister Beatrix got married excatly a year later?
btw. I respect greatly Princess Margriet and also her husband. A royal princess and also down-to earth when needed.
: You're very welcome Elaine
: I think you'll find the answer in the fact
: that Crown Princes Beatrix got engaged to
: Claus (June 1965) and was the first of these
: two couples to be married (March 1966).
: As you know, neither Beatrix nor her father
: Prince Bernhard were overly pleased with
: Margriet's choice of a fellow Dutchman / a
: commoner and it was only due to Queen
: Juliana's warm & motherly support that
: Margriet & Pieter were allowed to get
: engaged / married eventually !!!

: Over the years Beatrix' and Bernhard's
: rather snobbish attitude has been proved
: totally wrong and had it not been for
: Princess Margriet marrying a fellow
: country-man and living in the Netherlands
: (instead of moving abroad!) the later Queen
: Beatrix might have found herself without any
: additional help during the years her
: Consort, Prince Claus was very ill and a
: helping hand was desperately needed in
: dealing with all royal events/duties !!
