Beatrix, who was Queen of the Netherlands for 33 years, tested positive earlier this month. In a statement released on Dec. 4, the Dutch Royal House said, “Princess Beatrix has had herself tested in connection with mild cold complaints. The Princess is at home in isolation and adheres to the rules of life for people who have tested positive. Persons who have been in close contact with Princess Beatrix have been informed.”

Willem-Alexander recently shared an update on his mother. He said (via  Royal Central ), “Fortunately, nothing is wrong at all. Only she had a bit of a cold, she thought it was the air conditioning in the tropics. She is in very good spirits for the rest, so it is all fantastic. On behalf of her, I thank everyone very much for the compassion and good wishes, but she is doing great.”

According to  AD.nl , Queen Maxima’s mother-in-law is fully vaccinated and received her booster shot prior to her visit to Curaçao last month.
