Talk:Prince Claus of the Netherlands

"jonkher"?
Really jonkher? This sounds Dutch to me and should have been Junker or Jungherr in German. -- JeLuF


 * The Dutch is jonkheer. Jeronimo

"Lunenburg"?
"After his release, he finished school in Lunenburg and studied law in Hamburg." Where is "Lunenburg"? There seems to be such a place in the Netherlands. Or is Lüneburg in Germany meant? S.


 * Yes, he finished school in Germany, Lüneburg. He moved to the Netherlands the same time he married the queen. -- JeLuF

But "Lunenburg" is, I believe, the common English name for "L&uuml;neburg", so our naming conventions would put the page at Lunenburg, Germany rather than at L&uuml;neburg. &mdash; Toby 02:11 Nov 3, 2002 (UTC)

Hitler youth
The article currently states: "He was also a member of Nazi youth organisations such as Jungvolk and Hitlerjugend (said to be automatic for all members of his generation)." I'm fairly certain that the parenthetical comment is not true (that is, that membership in the Hitler Youth was not automatic) but wouldn't want to stake anything on it. I don't want to take it out without more knowledge, but I do want to flag it for someone who perhaps knows more. Remes 04:39, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Also, "In 1944, he was conscripted into the German Wehrmacht, becoming a soldier in the German 90th Panzergrenadier Division in Italy in March 1945.[2]" This is a photograph of him in his uniform of the Totenkopf Division of the Waffen SS.

Official rank?
Was Prince his official royal title?--Wasabe3543 04:17, 10 February 2006 (UTC) Ok, thanks.--Wasabe3543 04:35, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, as the Queen's consort he had the personal title of Prince of the Netherlands. 161.24.19.112 (talk) 17:50, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Clinical Depression?
"Many also believed that these restrictions were at least partly the cause of his severe depression, which lasted many years."

This is not a diagnosis of Clinical Depression.

Fair use rationale for Image:Beatrixandclausdancing.jpg
Image:Beatrixandclausdancing.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

 * This bot seems to be malfunctioning because there IS a FU rationale with the image. The bot's talk page has many mentions of it incorrectly tagging FU images so I think this is another case. Someone else has already reverted the bot's edits to the image. Rpvdk 07:21, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

NAME
The name of Claus in Wikipedia is "Prince Claus of the Netherlands".

I believe that he should have the name of "Claus von Amsberg", because he was born with this name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MonarchyLover (talk • contribs) 20:12, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Disagree. GoodDay (talk) 00:21, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * No, I disagree as per WP:CONSORTS. He was/is primarly known as "Prince Claus of the Netherlands". Mr. D. E. Mophon (talk) 01:58, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Does he has “Prince Consort” title

"Grand Corodn" > "Grand Cordon" ?
I'm guessing that "Grand Corodn" > "Grand Cordon" ? R. Henrik Nilsson (talk) 14:43, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
