Notes:

• Queen Beatrix's second son Prince Johan-Friso of the Netherlands was removed from the succession when he married without government approval in 2004. His daughter Countess Luana, and any other children of Prince Frisco are not in the line of succession.
• Maurits' and Bernhard's children are not on the list, because their kinship with Beatrix is of the fourth degree, the constitutional maximum being of the third degree.
• for the same reason, if and when Willem-Alexander becomes king, then for his successor only nrs. 2 - 7 apply (and possible new born and unborn children of him and of Constantijn), his cousins (nrs 8 -11) will be removed from the list
• nrs 10 and 11 will be dropped from the list because of marriages without official consent necessary for being kept on the list
