Amidst the backdrop of World War II, this moment served as a symbol of hope and continuity. The Netherlands flag proudly flying over the Ottawa Civic Hospital and intimate images of Prince Bernhard holding the newborn, alongside their daughters, Princess Beatrix and Princess Irene, offer a rare glimpse into the private joy of a royal family in exile.
