Queen Beatrix is now Princess Beatrix, and is still part of the Royal Family. Willem-Alexander is now King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands. Maxima is Queen Maxima of the Netherlands. Catharina-Amalia is now, Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange. Princess Margriet's children (the ones that were in the Royal Family) are no longer part of the Royal Family.
