EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the youthful and radiant beauty of Juliana, Queen of the Netherlands, during her time as Princess Juliana in the late 1930s. The image, taken around 1935, showcases the future monarch's striking features with her round face, expressive eyes, and a gentle smile playing on her lips. Born on August 30, 1909, in The Hague, Juliana was the eldest daughter of Queen Wilhelmina and Prince Henry of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Her father died when she was just nine years old, and she became heir to the Dutch throne. In 1937, Juliana married Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld, and together they had four children: Beatrix, Claus, Irene, and Willem-Alexander. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the princess's life before her ascension to the throne in 1948, following her mother's abdication. Juliana's reign was marked by significant events, including the Dutch resistance during World War II and the decolonization of Indonesia. She abdicated in favor of her daughter, Beatrix, in 1980, and passed away on March 20, 2004, at the age of 94. This historical photograph, with its timeless elegance and captivating subject, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on Dutch history. The image, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the enduring allure of royal history and the power of a single photograph to transport us to another time and place.
