Daughter of William III, born from a late union, she succeeded him, remaining under the regency of her mother Emma of Waldeck-Pyrmont until 1898. Involved in the defense of her country during the Second World War against the German occupiers, although indifferent to the fate of the Jews of her country, Wilhelmina is one of the most important figures in the history of the Netherlands in the 20th century. She married on February 7, 1901, Prince Heinrich of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (1876-1934), becoming Prince Heinrich of the Netherlands. He was Prince Consort of the Netherlands from 1901 until his death.
