9. One of the four sisters never got divorced (up to 2003!), nor experienced difficulties by her marriage with a German. Who is she?

Answer: Princess Margriet

Irene and Christina both divorced and Beatrix's marriage to the German Claus von Amsberg was at first very unpopular, because his native country had occupied Holland during the Second World War. He turned out to be, however, a very good diplomat and by the end of his life in 2002 he was the most popular member of the Royal Family.

10. Princess Irene's conversion to Catholicism because of her marriage with a Spanish prince in 1964 led to the downfall of the Dutch government of that time.

Answer: False

It did, however, lead to a scandal, as the then still powerful orthodox protestants feared a Catholic on the throne. Princess Irene renounced her right on the Dutch throne.
