Juliana pregnant by her father Hendrik

On April 30, 2009 Micha Kat revealed on Argusoog Radio that Juliana was made pregnant by her father Prince Hendrik at the age of 17 or eighteen.

The name of the illegitimate - but not 'out-of-wedlock' daughter is Maria or MarieClaire Rovers (or Roovers).

Ro(o)vers was given access to her adoption file by the Supreme Court in a 1994 judgment, but the archives nevertheless remained closed to her. This bizarre 'stalemate' was broken when an HR counselor gave her a letter revealing her parents' identities. This letter went with her to her grave. Ro(o)vers was born in 1927 and died between 1996 and 1998.

The 'Roovers case' is described in an article on the site of The Guardian. In a few places in the public sources the possibility has already been suggested that Juliana gave birth to a daughter at the age of 18 and 'dumped' her in Huize Moederheil (later Valkenhorst) in Tilburg, namely on Mokum TV from 8 to 17 February 1999.

nl - Around 1926/1927 Juliana took private (home) lessons for several months.
