in advance of the birth, or whether it was &#39;created&#39; retrospectively. I&#39;m <br/>
not sure that governments with more pressing problems (i.e. being involved <br/>
in a war) would waste time worrying about such legal niceties ;-)<br/>

 </span></blockquote>She would have been a British Subject (the concept of citizenship wasn&#39;t <br/>
introduced until 1981), which would have been interesting for a member of <br/>
another country&#39;s royal family! Maybe that&#39;s why the Dutch enclave was <br/>
enacted or claimed.<br/>

&gt;through descent from a citizen, no matter where you were born, whether &#39;at <br/>
&gt;home&#39; or abroad.<br/>

 </span></blockquote>Presumably you can also obtain citizenship through naturalisation?<br/>
