DUTCH ROYAL FAMILY
More Reports On Rift (Rec. 9 p.m.) LONDON, June 21. The rift in the Dutch Royal Family arising from the influence of Miss Greet Hofmans and her faith-healing cult over Queen Juliana appeared to be as definite as ever the “Daily Telegraph” reported from Amsterdam today.
This was in spite of an official statement last night that the Queen and her husband. Prince Bernhard, would accompany their eldest daughter Princess Beatrix, when she made her first official visit to Amsterdam, on June 30, the correspondent said. “No solution appears to have been found to bridge the diametricallyopposed view’s of the Queen and the Prince on the position of Miss Hofmans in the family circle.” the correspondent said.
“The Government is being urged by influential people frankly to admit the truth in an official communique.” The “Daily Express” reported from Amsterdam that Prince Bernhard had gone to Brussels yesterday and left behind “a crisis which, if anything, gets worse.” The correspondent said:—
“Any talk of a reconciliation between him and Queen Juliana is jusl wishful thinking—or part of an intrigue by the mystics surrounding the Queen.” That Princess Beatrix’s parents were going with her was known long ago had no significance in the crisis the correspondent said.
