"Queen Beatrix" and "Queen Beatrice"

In an announcement broadcast on national media on 28 January 2013, H.M. Beatrix announced her intention to abdicate on 30 April 2013, when she will have been on the throne for exactly 33 years.

“As you all know, in a few days I hope to celebrate my 75th birthday. I am thankful that I have been granted the opportunity to do so in good health,” . “At the end of this year we shall mark the 200th anniversary of the foundation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, an occasion that ushered in a new era in our history. The fact that these two special events coincide led me to decide to relinquish the throne this year.”

Born December 10, 1709 to Peter the Great and Catherine I, Elizabeth became Russia’s empress following a palace revolution in November 1741. She died in 1761 and was buried in the Peter and Paul Cathedral in Saint Petersburg.


I think she looked magnificent in this card.
