Picture postcards of the Dutch Royal Family > Prince Hendrik (1876-1934)
Prince Hendrik, duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, was queen Wilhelmina's husband and princess Juliana's father.
As a great outdoors enthusiast - who was especially fond of hunting - he found it hard to adapt to court protocol. The role of Prince Consort also left him very little independence. Tormented but nevertheless good-humoured, prince Hendrik remained an outsider in Dutch society.
