[edit] Style of countess Eloise

In the Netherlands, aristocrats with the rank of a count(ess) do have the prefix "hooggeboren heer/vrouwe" ("highborn lord/lady") and not "Her Excellency".

The full name is: Eloise Sophie Beatrix Laurence van Oranje-Nassau van Amsberg.

The title and predicate are: Countess of Orange-Nassau, Jonkvrouwe van Amsberg.

The prefix is: Highborn lady.


Why is the Countess Eloise not a Princess of The Netherlands ? Her father's marriage was approved by the government and its normal for male-descendents of Sovereign of enjoy the style of royal highness and the title of princess. In fact the Queen Juliana allowed Princess Margariet's children (female-line descendent) to be styled as princess and with style of Highness.
