Hmm…
Previous Message I'd suggest you look at the wider context of events and timeline of that B-P ennoblement. It was an attempt by the Dutch to shut down the frictions that Carlos Hugo de Borbon-Parma had created with his Spanish claims. Making his descendants "Dutch" and ennobling them as "Dutch princes" was a way to step aside from those dynastic disputes in Spain that the Dutch did not want to become a part of, even on the margins.
You think that the Dutch queen was concerned about this in 1996?
