| | Mary, Princess Royal and Princess of Orange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Her father wished the Princess Royal to marry a son of Philip IV, king of Spain, while her first cousin, Karl Ludwig, the Elector Palatine, was also a suitor for her hand. |
 | | Both proposals fell through and she was bethrothed to Willem, the son and heir of Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange-Nassau and Stadholder of the United Provinces, and of Amalia of Solms-Braunfels. |
 | | She was unpopular with the Dutch due to her sympathies with her family, the Stuarts; and at length, public opinion having been further angered by the hospitality that she showed to her brothers, the exiled Charles II and the Duke of York (later James II), she was forbidden to receive her relatives. |
