Ilse (Ilse Elisabeth Hans-Frederik William Alexandra; born 12 August 1996) is the Queen of the Netherlands. She acceded to the throne upon the death of her father, Hans-Frederik.
Early Life
Ilse was born on the 12th of August 1996 to King Hans-Frederik and former Dutch actress Jacoliene Sutherland. As the eldest and only female sibling among her three younger brothers, she was joyously expected to become the country's fourth female sovereign, after her great great great grandmother Queen Wilhelmina I, her great grandmother Queen Wilhelmina II and grandmother Queen Elisabeth. Her middle names consisted the first names of her grandmother, her father and subsequently those of the then King of Britain, a close friend of the Dutch king and the Princess Royal Alexandra.
She was baptised as a member of the Dutch Reformed Church on the 25th of September 1996. As heir apparent to her father, she was styled as the Princess of Orange, being the first to do so following an amendment which established the title's succession via absolute primogeniture in 1983. Additionally, Ilse's birth coincided with that of Queen Alexandra, who was born three months prior and whom she was partially named after.
