Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Dutch Royal Family is associated with what color?

Answer: Orange

Although the Dutch flag contains red-white-blue, the main color in Holland is orange. It refers to the name of the royal family: Van Oranje. Which means as much as: From Orange.
2. What is the name of the former queen and also the mother of Dutch Queen Beatrix?

Answer: Juliana

Emma is the mother of Wilhelmina. Wilhelmina is the mother of Juliana. Juliana gave birth to Beatrix. Marilene is married to Prince Maurits. He is a son of Beatrix's sister Margriet.
3. What is the name of the man who became heir apparent to the Dutch throne on his mother, Beatrix's accession in 1980?

Answer: Willem-Alexander

Prince Willem-Alexander is the oldest son of Queen Beatrix and Claus von Amsberg.
4. How many sisters does Queen Beatrix have?

Answer: Five

Beatrix has three sisters: Margriet, Irene and Christina, however her father Prince Bernhard had two extramarital daughters: Alicia de Bielefeld, born in San Fransisco in 1952 and Alexia Grinda born in France in 1967.
5. On what day do the Dutch celebrate Queens Day?

Answer: 30 April

30 April is the day that former Queen Juliana celebrated her birthday. And so did the nation. As a sign of respect, Queen Beatrix didn't change this date, although her birthday is 31 January. The other reason is, that at the end of January there is a very big chance that it rains in Holland. Celebrating in sunny April is much more fun.
6. Queen Beatrix and her mother Juliana were both married to men who were born in which country?

Answer: Germany

Queen Beatrix was married to Prince Claus and former Queen Juliana was married to Prince Bernhard. Both men were born in Germany. To announce the weddings was a courageous act, because Germans are not the most popular people in Holland. It has something to do with the German invasion of Holland during World War II, but also about the final at the World Championship Soccer in 1974. Germany beat Holland 2-1 in the final.
7. What was the name of the first Dutch King?

Answer: King William I

King William I was the first, King William II the second, King William III the third and these three men came before: Emma, Wilhelmina, Juliana and Beatrix.
8. In what city did Queen Beatrix have her royal palace?

Answer: The Hague

Beatrix resides in her royal palace in The Hague. It is called Huis ten Bosch. But she works in the Noordeinde Palace, that is also in The Hague. The Dutch government is also located in The Hague. Strangely enough the capital of The Netherlands is not The Hague, but Amsterdam.
9. What do Prince Willem-Alexander and his grandfather Bernhard Sr. both like to do?

Answer: They both like to fly

Willem has flown aid supplies for charitable organisation and also frequently flies the royal jet. Bernhard flew with the RAF during World War II against the country of his birth.
10. What is the name of the husband of Princess Margriet?

Answer: Pieter van Vollenhoven

The couple met while at university in 1965. They married in The Hague two years later.
