Bernhard, Scoundrel of Orange(2010)

Bernhard, Scoundrel of Orange is a Dutch drama series that chronicles the turbulent life of Prince Bernhard of Lippe-Biesterfeld, a man caught between duty and desire. A war hero beloved by many, Bernhard also faced relentless scandal—from his affair with faith healer Greet Hofmans to the Lockheed bribery controversy. Across four episodes, the aging prince reflects on his extraordinary journey with Princess Máxima, who will soon become Queen alongside Prince Willem-Alexander. Their intimate conversations reveal unexpected parallels between them, even as their values clash. Through Bernhard's recollections, the series traces his life across Europe and beyond—from German estates to London, Argentina, and Canada—exploring a man of extremes grappling with identity, love, and legacy. It's a portrait of a prince learning, late in life, what truly matters.
