It’s not the most talked about royal wedding of all time but the marriage that took place on a cold, January day in 1967 has proved to be an important one for the Dutch Royal Family. Princess Margriet of the Netherlands, aunt of the current monarch King Willem-Alexander, wed Pieter van Vollenhoven in a regal setting and the couple have gone on to be among the most solid supporters of their royal dynasty.
The bride was the third of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands’ daughters to get married in as many years but unlike her sisters, Margriet managed to say ‘I do’ without attracting any of the controversy that had surrounded the other two royal weddings.
