Two young girls present Prins Bernhard flowers for his wife, then- Prinses Juliana, whose birthday (which he had forgotten) was that day, April 30. Prinses Juliana, who turned 36 that day, was en route to returning to Holland for the first time since Holland was overrun in 1940. She arrived in Breda (in the already-liberated sector) with her mother, Koningin Wilhelmina two days later, on May 2. Take note that the car's license plate does read “RK-1”)
