Talk:Line of succession to the Dutch throne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I reverted the edit which added background info to the reasons for Friso not asking for parliamentary approval of his marriage. This is a factual list of succession with some minor notes as to how it came to be as it is. For more info on the whole Friso-Mabel-Bruinsma affaire, one can click his name ... --Dengo 09:50, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

fair enough. It should be parliamentary approval though, not governmental. ... Baszoetekouw 11:00, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Exellency??

I noticed that in this article and some others, the children that are Counts and Countesses of Orange-Nassau get the style of His or Her "Exellency". I never heard about that. No other Dutch Counts are called that either.--81.59.191.137 09:20, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

No, doesn't seem right to me either. The Dutch style is "hooggeboren heer" (count) or "hooggeboren vrouwe" (countess) (hooggeboren = "highly born"), by the way. Sixtus 19:33, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] unborn children

Article 26 of the Constitution of the Kingdom of the Netherlands states: For the purposes of hereditary succession, the child of a woman pregnant at the moment of the death of the King shall be deemed already born. If it is stillborn it shall be deemed to have never existed. So, when Princess Maximá or Princess Laurentien is pregnant, the unborn child is in the line of succession.
