Editing Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands (section)

==Controversies==
Bernhard’s life was mired in scandals. In 1976, he was implicated in the Lockheed bribery scandal, accepting payments to promote Lockheed and Northrop aircraft sales to the Dutch military. This led to his resignation from the Bilderberg Group, WWF, and military roles, with a lifelong ban on wearing Dutch military uniforms. His early Nazi affiliations, revealed posthumously, further tarnished his legacy, prompting public apologies from his grandson, King Willem-Alexander. Bernhard also admitted to fathering two illegitimate daughters, Alicia von Bielefeld (born 1952) and Alexia Grinda (born 1967), and rumors persisted of other affairs, including an alleged child with Penelope Maffey. A 2016 biography of Juliana claimed he refused divorce twice and later barred her from seeing him.
