Life

His birth was overshadowed by the death, only a day before, of his great-grandmother Queen Juliana.[3] He has two sisters: Countess Eloise, born 8 June 2002 and Countess Leonore, born 3 June 2006.

His christening took place in the chapel of Het Loo Palace in Apeldoorn on 10 October 2004.[4] Claus-Casimir's godparents are King Willem-Alexander, Prince Maurits of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven, Ed P. Spanjaard, and Countess Tatiana Razumovsky von Wigstein.

Titles and styles

By royal decree of 11 May 2001, nr. 227, it was determined that all children and male-line descendants of Prince Constantijn of the Netherlands would be counts and countesses of Orange-Nassau with the honorific jonkheer or jonkvrouwe van Amsberg, and have the surname Van Oranje-Nassau van Amsberg.[5] As he is her only grandson, Claus-Casimir is currently the only one of Queen Beatrix's grandchildren who will be able to pass this title on to his children.

Upon the abdication of Queen Beatrix on 30 April 2013, the children of Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien ceased to be members of the Royal House, although they continue to be members of the royal family.[6]

gollark: Differences in what?
gollark: > if you dont go to university and i do, i am going to annoy you by not shutting up about higher math and you will get annoyed.Hmm, that is a reasonable point, although I may do a non-maths subject?
gollark: Vaguely relatedly, I'm not sure if it would be more sensible to go to university, or not go to university.
gollark: I did look at UK income distribution statistics and they were somewhat surprising, really. But still, we have a roughly functional ish economy.
gollark: It's nice living in a reasonably economically developed country.
