=== The Netherlands === ====Royal family==== The following heraldic system was adopted by a royal decree in 1815 and was in effect until 1907. {| class="wikitable" style="margin:1em auto; text-align:center;" |- | [[File:Royal Arms of the Netherlands (1815-1907).svg|95px]] | [[File:Arms of the Prince of Orange (1815-1884).svg|95px]] | [[File:Arms of the eldest son of the Prince of Orange (1815-1884).svg|95px]] | [[File:Arms of the second son of the king of the Netherlands.svg|95px]] | [[File:Arms of the eldest daughter of the king of the Netherlands.svg|95px]] |- | Monarch | Prince of Orange {{no break|(heir apparent)}} | Eldest son of the Prince of Orange | Second son of the monarch | Eldest daughter of the monarch |} Since 1907, the system has differed. Wilhelmina further decreed that in perpetuity her descendants should be styled "princes and princesses of Orange-Nassau" and that the name of the house would be "Orange-Nassau" (in Dutch "Oranje-Nassau"). Since then, individual members of the House of Orange-Nassau are also given their own arms by the reigning monarch, similar to the United Kingdom. This is usually the royal arms, quartered with the arms of [[Prince of Orange|the principality of Orange]], and an in escutcheon of their paternal arms.<ref>{{cite web | title = Wapens van leden van het Koninklijk Huis| work = Coats of Arms of the Dutch Royal Family, Website of the Dutch Monarchy, the Hague | publisher = Rijksvoorlichtingsdienst (RVD), the Hague, the Netherlands | url =http://www.koninklijkhuis.nl/onderwerpen/wapens/inhoud/wapens-van-leden-van-het-koninklijk-huis| access-date = 30 April 2012}}</ref> Since 1907, there is no system to delineate individual princes and princesses via their arms. <gallery class="center"> Image:Arms of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.svg|[[Coat of arms of the Netherlands|Arms of the King of the Netherlands]] File:Arms of Juliana of the Netherlands.svg|[[Juliana of the Netherlands]] & Oranje-Nassau Personal Arms, (escutcheon of [[House of Mecklenburg|Mecklenburg]]) File:Arms of Beatrix of the Netherlands.svg|Arms of the children of Juliana of the Netherlands, [[Beatrix of the Netherlands]] & Oranje-Nassau and her sisters [[Princess Irene of the Netherlands|Princess Irene]], [[Princess Margriet of the Netherlands|Princess Margriet]] and [[Princess Christina of the Netherlands|Princess Christina]] (escutcheon of [[Lippe-Biesterfeld|Lippe]]) File:Arms of the children of Beatrix of the Netherlands.svg| Arms of the children of Beatrix of the Netherlands, currently used by [[Prince Constantijn of the Netherlands|Prince Constantijn]], brother of the King, and his children.
