Learn about the history of abdications in the Royal House of the Netherlands and meet the main members of the family.

Ever since the Kingdom of the Netherlands came into being in 1815 following the defeat of Napoleon, there has always been a monarch. However, where the kingdom differentiates from many other ruling houses is in how many monarchs have abdicated as opposed to dying while on the throne.

Born on 30 April 1909, Juliana was Queen of the Netherlands from 4 September 1948 to 30 April 1980. During the invasion of the Netherlands by Nazi Germany in 1939, Juliana was evacuated to the United Kingdom before heading to Canada. She returned to her country of birth on 2 May 194
