EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in the post-war history of the Netherlands, as Winston Churchill (1874-1965) pays a visit to Her Majesty Queen Juliana (1909-2004) and her husband, Prince Bernhard (1911-2004), at their residence, Soestdijk Palace, in Baarn on 8th May 1948. Following the liberation of the Netherlands from Nazi occupation, Churchill, then the British Prime Minister, was a key figure in the restoration of the Dutch monarchy. In this image, the royal family warmly welcomes their esteemed guest, with their four children, Princess Beatrix, Princess Irene of Parma, Princess Margriet, and Princess Christina, joining in the reception. The future Queen Beatrix can be seen holding the hand of the then leader of the Opposition, Willem Schermerhorn, adding an intriguing political dimension to the scene. The Soestdijk Palace, which served as the home for Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard for over six decades until their deaths in 2004, stands as a testament to the enduring bond between the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a significant moment in the shared history of these two nations.
