* [[Princess Irene of the Netherlands|Princess Irene]] (Beatrix's younger sister) was removed from the list when she married [[Carlos Hugo, Duke of Parma]], without Parliamentary approval. Approval was withheld because Carlos Hugo's [[Carlist]] pretense to the Spanish throne threatened to cause a Constitutional crisis.
* [[Prince Pieter-Christiaan of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven|Prince Pieter-Christiaan]] and [[Prince Floris of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven]] (the younger sons of Princess Margriet), were removed from the list because they had both decided not to seek Parliamentary approval for their 2005 marriages due to their remote chance of succeeding to the throne.{{CN|date=November 2021}}
* [[Prince Maurits of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven|Prince Maurits]] and [[Prince Bernhard of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven]] (the elder sons of Princess Margriet), and their descendants are not in the line because they are too distantly related to the reigning monarch.
