Over the years, however, he became a much-loved and respected figure in Dutch society, known for his intellect, humility, and commitment to social issues. Prince Claus was heavily involved in various international developmental projects and humanitarian work, particularly in Africa. He was interested in sustainable development, and many initiatives in the Netherlands and abroad bear his influence.

Prince Constantijn of the Netherlands was born on October 11, 1969, in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

While he undertakes some royal duties and responsibilities, Prince Constantijn has largely focused on his professional career, which differentiates him from royals who serve in a more traditional, ceremonial capacity. Despite this, he remains a member of the Dutch royal family and is in the line of succession, although the likelihood of him ascending to the throne is very low, given that his older brother King Willem-Alexander has three daughters.
