Hm, not entirely true. There is a long tradition of prenuptials in royal families.
The private Royal House Archives in The Hague stores wonderful historic collections.
Amongst the thousands of family documents also the wonderful prenuptial argeements of three British Princesses:
- 1641: Mary Henrietta Stuart, The Princess Royal x Willem II of Nassau, The Prince of Orange
- 1677: Mary Stuart, Princess of York x Willem III of Nassau, The Prince of Orange
- 1734: Anne of Hannover, The Princess Royal x Willem IV, The Prince of Orange, Fürst of Nassau
Their existence (completely with wonderful drawings and prints describing the wedding ceremonies and festivities in detail) proves that also in the British royal family there was a tradition of prenuptial agreements.
