Aha! So that's perhaps why Constantijn chose 'Leonore' as the name for his latest daughter: the name runs in the family!

Great thread Marengo!
Especially Amalia van Solms, she is so pretty in a girl-next-door kind of way, terrific!

and the painting of a young Willem van Oranje....he was soooo handsome!

I wish he had named his daughter after Eleonore, but to be honest, I don't have a lot of faith in the historical affection of the present royals, not ieven in that of 'historian' Willem-Alexander.

But Constantijn might be different, he reintroduced 'Casimir' as well :)

I am planning to make this a HUGE thread with pictures and paintings of ALL the royals, in chronological order, they are already are in my photobucket! After that I hope to provide some information about the royals... (wikipedia is my friend, though I need to translate it).

PS, I agree, Willem I was very handsome....

Absolutely stunning! the top part looks exactly of the same material and pattern. Wonder if this was intentional or not?
