Juliana's renewed obstinacy prompted two of her three wise men to protest that she had gone back on her word, and this in turn so angered the Queen that she threatened to broadcast her version of the story to her subjects. When pro tern Premier Willem Drees heard of this, he told Juliana bluntly that he had given orders to broadcasting authorities not to permit the Queen to go on the air. Meanwhile, far from fulfilling his ordained role in the masquerade of renewed connubiality, Prince Bernhard, the Queen's husband, made less and less effort...
