Description
" The birth of Princess Margriet Francisca, the third daughter of Princess Juliana and Prince Bernhard, was a symbol of hope and a source of inspiration for the Dutch people who were fighting for their survival in Europe. The only royal baby ever born in North America, her birth created a living bond between the people of Canada and the Netherlands.
To ensure the baby’s Dutch citizenship, the Canadian government temporarily ceded a room at the Ottawa Civic Hospital to the Netherlands. Princess Margriet was therefore born a Dutch citizen on Dutch soil on January 19, 1943."

For me, this is one of the strongest bonds between nations that I have ever seen.
I'm so glad to know the story behind this bond. I truly admire it.^^

I love your art, but I'd like to correct you on one detail. The government didn't cede the maternity ward to the Netherlands, they only extraterritorialized it, making it *international* territory.
Dutch citizenship is granted solely by jus sanguinis, nationality by parental heritage.
Canadian law, however, includes jus soli, nationality by location, and if the Princess had been born a boy, having Canadian citizenship could have interfered with her eligibility for the throne.
