Members of the Dutch royal family must have the consent of the monarch and the government to marry. Several family members were excluded from the succession due to marriage without proper consent. These include King Willem-Alexander’s younger brother Prince Johan Friso (died 2013), his aunt Princess Irene, and his aunt Princess Christina (died 2019).
