Of course Queen Beatrix and Queen Juliana had a mother-daughter relationship, but in almost all biographies, articles and accounts it becomes clear how different they were.

It is generally acknowledged that the tandem Prince Bernhard-Princess Beatrix were in charge at the Court. In the Greet Hofmans Affair and around the weddings of Princess Irene and Princess Margriet, the two eldest daughters chose side with 'pappie' which caused a deep rift between the Juliana-side and the Bernhard-side. Princess Margriet and Princess Christina were in the Juliana-side.

In my very personal opinion there was not that much love left between Queen Juliana and her eldest daughter. Also now, in the 27 years of her kingship, Queen Beatrix is in everything, even in looks, first and foremost Prince Bernhard's daughter.
