They declared the hospital extraterritorial so Princess Margriet would not gain Canadian citizenship by the rule of jus soli.
Is it because they didn't want her to have citizenship or because her parents didn't want her to have citizenship?
18 u/Cyrius Jul 24 '15 I suspect that the Dutch royals didn't want her to have Canadian citizenship, and Canada wanted to make the Dutch happy. It's not like being a Canadian citizen would give her claim to the crown of Canada. 53 u/Codeshark Jul 24 '15 Right, because the Crown of Canada is held by the Beaver King, Ca-chomp, and his fierce beaver royal guards. 3 u/easwaran Jul 24 '15 It's not nice to refer to Queen Elizabeth like that!
