    AMSTERDAM, 17th March, 2011 --- Sotheby’s four-day sale of Property from the Estate of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands concluded today, raising more than €5 million for charity, well in excess of the pre-sale estimate of €1.5 million. Following four days and over thirty-three hours of auctioneering, the auction resulted in a “white-glove” sale. All 10,000 items offered in 1,535 lots sold, attracting competitive bidding from fervent bidders, not only from the Netherlands, but also from around the world. Proceeds achieved will be divided into two portions; the first part will be donated to The Red Cross, chosen by the four heirs because of the long term involvement of Queen Juliana in its work. The remaining portion will be divided into four equal parts; The Princess Beatrix Fund which is the choice of Queen Beatrix, Princess Irene chose The NatureCollege, Princess Margriet chose the Red Cross and the Princess Christina Concours was chosen by Princess Christina. The property in this remarkable and unique auction was only in part acquired by Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard. The larger part had been accumulated over the last one hundred and fifty years, having been passed by inheritance to Queen Juliana from Kings Willem II and III, Queen Emma and Queen Wilhelmina. The inventory marks and labels on many of the pieces show that over the generations they were used in seven Royal Palaces and Royal Residences throughout the Netherlands.
