Dutch monarchy through crisis and reform century
A portrait of the Dutch royal family from Wilhelmina to Juliana, detailing abdications, scandals, and faiths. It notes Beatrix’s 1965 wedding to Claus von Amsberg amid protest, Irene's Catholic conversion, and Juliana's strong democratic role, bicycle riding persona, and high pay trimmed in 1971. It contrasts Dutch toleration with Britain, and ends paralleling impeachment debates in the United States.
