When Hitler closed the Bauhaus in 1933, Albers came to the U.S., where he meticulously painted geometric patterns, notably squares within squares, and taught his students to see the ways colors interact.

Romanov is a regular guest at Drakestein (the couple's chateau). German-born Claus, who once served in Hitler's army, has been labeled the "Red Feldwebel" (sergeant) by Conservatives and supporters of Prince Bernhard. At a recent diplomatic banquet in The Hague, Beatrix was overheard scolding a foreign diplomat for his snide remarks about the Soviets' disastrous grain harvest. "Why," she said, "should one always emphasize the Soviet Union...
