| Queen of The Netherlands (1948–80), born in The Hague. She studied at Leyden, became a lawyer, and in 1937 married Prince Bernhard zur Lippe-Biesterfeld; they had four daughters. On the German invasion of Holland (1940), Juliana escaped to Britain and later resided in Canada. She returned to Holland in 1945, and became queen on the abdication of her mother, Wilhelmina. She herself abdicated in favour of her eldest daughter, Beatrix. |
