Unbelievable, but there were men before Claus. I think Beatrix had a relationship with one of her former student friends called Bob Steensma, I believe. I think his father was an advocate and she even took him to the silver wedding party of her parents.
There were also rumours about a relationship with an Israeli shepherded called David, but for this story ask the Dutch people here. I believe this relationship has something to do with an earthquake in the Iran, where he lived and she helped to rebuild a village, but I’m not sure. And there were also rumours about her and Schelto Patijn, the former mayor of Amsterdam, when they were “dance-partners”. But just rumours. I don’t know it exactly.
But fortunately she found the perfect partner in her late husband.
