A Tribute to Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands

Although I am a Second Life avatar, the real life me lived in The Netherlands for a while and came to appreciate Dutch history. Queen Wilhelmina reigned from 1898-1948, for 50 years. What makes her so remarkable is that she effectively ran a government in exile in London during the Second World War, when her country was overrun by the Nazis. Her picture was a symbol of the resistance. She returned to the Netherlands in 1945, and abdicated in favor of her daughter, Princess Juliana, in 1948, who became Queen Juliana . She is also the Grandmother of Queen Beatrix, the current Queen. I made this video for her using a collection of stills set to The National Anthem of the Netherlands.
