Prince Bernhard's will.
It became known that the late Prince Bernhard has changed his will 6 days before his death, to open his inheritance for his two illegitimate daughters.
It is absolutely unclear how much the inheritance of the Prince was. He inherited nothing from his own spouse, the late Queen Juliana. He has had his own fortune and inherited from his German relatives.
For so far known there are only a few facts:
The sale of Prince Berhard's yacht, Jumbo VI, resulted in € 2.650.000,--.
The sale of Prince Berhard's yacht, Jumbo V, resulted in € 590.000,--.
Vogelhof House in Soest was bougt by the Queen and the three Princesses for € 1.500.000,--.
The house at Noorderweg 22 in Soest was bougt by the Queen and the three Princesses for € 250.000,--.
The house at Noorderweg 75 in Soest was bougt by the Queen and the three Princesses for € 725.000,--.
The villa l'Elefante Felice, Porto Ercole (Italy) has not been sold and is estimated for € 10.000.000,--.
Theworth of the late Prince's investments and stock-portfolio is unknown.
The worth of private heirlooms to be auctioned is unknown.
For so far some € 15.715.000,-- is traced by outsiders.
The three houses in Soest were bought by the Queen and the three Princesses and their two halfsisters were paid an equal share in the value of the three houses. Apparently to prevent the loss of these houses (rented to retired staff from the household). The money for Alicia de Bielefeld and Alexia Grinda was paid via the lawyer's firm De Braauw, Blackstone and Westbroek in The Hague.
The 6 heirs in Prince Berhard's will are, according to his testament d.d. 1 December 2004:
Her Majesty Beatrix Wilhelmina Armgard Queen of the Netherlands, Princess of Orange-Nassau, Princess of Lippe-Biesterfeld, aged 69, born Soestdijk Palace, the Netherlands, residing in The Hague, Huis ten Bosch Palace, the Netherlands, unmarried;
