SpiffyBallerina said:Those are great pictures Ropura, but I think this thread is about the time period from when before Beatrix was queen. It's like a thread for old pictures from the 60's and 70's mostly. I'm kinda protective of this thread because it's my favorite. I love to see older pictures of royal couples! Not to be nit-picky though - I mean, your pictures are wonderful and I've never seen them before!
Because they were born Princesses of a Royal House they have the style of Royal Highness. They also bear the subsidiary title of Princesses of Lippe-Biesterfeld, but their style is still Royal Highness. Queen Juliana had titles of Princess of the Netherlands and Duchess of Mecklenburg when she was born, but the Mecklenburg style of Highness was lesser to the Royal style.Princess Robijn said:Hi, I have a question.. Prince Bernard was HSH Prince of Lippe-Biesterfeld, does this means that HM beatrix and her sisters are also Her Serene Highness (Princess of Lippe-Biesterfield) (I know that they are Princesses of Lippe-Biesterfield, but I don't know if they are also HSH)
No, there is no such style.Princess Robijn said:thank you... but isn't it true that in some cases, it's both
like: HDSH = His Ducal Serene Highness?
The first picture is really good!Squidgy said:December 1976 The family on holiday in Lech, Austria. The solo picture of Claus is one of my favourite pictures of him.

Marengo said:Very nice pictures, never sen them before either. Claus looks rather artistic, with that hat & coat
Marengo said:I believe his talents were mostly appreciative...
Squidgy said:Princess Beatrix, I don't know if I've ever seen a picture of the couple kissing! I'll keep looking. Maybe some of the Dutch posters can help us out.
In the meantime, I found another picture of Beatrix & Claus from their Lech holiday in Dec 1976. I love this picture!
Maxie said:I never stumbled upon a picture of the two of them kissing, unfortunately, so I can't help you out on that one. In the meantime, we just have to stick to the wonderful picture you posted, Squidgy. I think I'm going to lock it up in my personal collection of great images of the DRF! Thanks for posting it!
