I don’t see how the future baby is a niece/nephew of the Queen? perhaps a grand-nephew/niece? Also this will be the eleventh for the queen, since her sister Irene has one grandson and will have one (grandson/granddaughter) more this august.

Wont’ this be a grand-nephew/niece to the queen? Not a newphew/niece? Also, this will be her 11th since her sister Irene allready has a grandson and is set to become a grandmother in August again.

That’s right, it’s a ninth for Margriet, but an eleventh for Beatrix. Princess Margriet’s two eldest sons have three kids each, so that’s six, and her younger sons have one each now, so the new baby will be ninth for the van Vollenhoven’s. But Princess Irene’s eldest son has an out of wedlock child, Carlos, and her eldest daughter is due in August, so it will be the eleventh.
