Unlike other monarchs who retained their style after abdication, the Queen reverted to her old style as Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrix of Orange-Nassau.Â
Princess Beatrix led a relatively quiet life after her voluntary abdication and stayed out of the royal life, but she occasionally conducted her own public engagement.
She would also attend royal events overseas with her son and daughter-in-law, Queen Maxima. She attended the memorial service of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh in Westminster Abbey, London, in March 2022, and the State Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022.
