She is the first child of (then) Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima, and the second grandchild of (then) Queen Beatrix and Prince Claus. After her birth was made public, 101 salute shots were fired at four places in the Kingdom of the Netherlands: Den Helder and The Hague in the Netherlands, Willemstad in the Netherlands Antilles, and Oranjestad in Aruba.〔(A new government and Dutch troops go to Iraq ), Museum of National History.
