The magazine told that the two couples are similair .They have bold little children , verry busy at work ,....In the magazine was also written that Mariléne and Maurits don't wanne have a third child :-) . And Laurentien en Constantijn also not . About the first couple we know now it isn't true . About the second we can only wait , but i think it is to early to say . Claus-Casimir is still a baby !

I am curious to know what the history behind Maurits' name is. Is Maurits a typical Dutch name or does it hold special meaning for Margriet and Pieter?

Thanks for the explanation!

"Het Prinselijk paar vertegenwoordigde de Nederlandse regering in september 1998 bij de viering van het vierhonderd-jarig bestaan van het eiland Mauritius, dat net als de Prins genoemd is naar de stadhouder Prins Maurits (1567-1625)."

"In September 1998, Prince Maurits and Princess Marilène represented the Dutch Government at the celebrations commemorating the 400th anniversary of the first Dutch landing on the island of Mauritius, which, like the Prince, was named after Stadholder Prince Maurits (1567-1625)."
