Hendrik of the Netherlands

His Grand Ducal and Royal Highness Heinrich, Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, (April 19, 1876 - July 3, 1934), Prince of the Netherlands, Prince of Orange-Nassau, was the husband of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands.

He was born in Schwerin. He was created Prince Hendrik of the Netherlands on February 6, 1901 and married Queen Wilhelmina on February 7, 1901 at the Hague.

A playboy and a drunkard who is reported to have had several illegitimate children, the marriage was an unhappy one that did little more than meet its obligation by producing an heir. They had one child, Princess Juliana, in whose favor her mother abdicated on September 4, 1948.

He died at The Hague.
