By 1956 fears about the far-reaching influence of Hofmans within the royal court were leading to a constitutional crisis and had created deep rifts in the marriage between queen Juliana, the mother of the current monarch, and her husband prince Bernhard.

Why take the path that is already travelled, when you can choose a path with new wonders.

It quotes from letters between the couple: ‘You hypocritical monster, what are you doing in Italy,’ Juliana wrote to Bernard. Bernard in turn urged Juliana not to divorce him and turn give the family ‘the status of third-rate Balkan royalty’.

Sadly it was an arranged marriage even though Julianna was in love with Bernard.  Maybe Bernard decided that Britain had become a third-rate Balkan royalty?
