 you mean they were not invited, walked in and acted like if they owned the place?   Strange indeed.

I believe they were invited actually, but while Juliana and Bernhard were away they created a mess and took things over as if it was their place. In the end the staff did not call the police but prince Bernhard. Prince Bernhard told the Bourbon-Parma's one or twoi things by phone (knowing prince Bernhard that couldn't be too polite  ) and they left the same day.
Of course the image of the Bourbon-Parma's was bad, something like the wicked catholic in-laws who 'stole' our prettiest princess and made her a catholic  , so I am not sure how reliable the story is.
At the Polygoon video of the wedding of irene and Carlos-Hugo, the reporter maliciously remarks that nobody paid any attention to the Bourbon-Parma sisters for example.

In this case the ratio is not so bad regarding Bourbon-Parma statistics: of the 6 children of duke Elias who beacame quite old just 1 married; and also between the children of princess Irene the ratio is worst: 1 of 4 has married (2 times)
