(Copyright 1936, Associated Press)

The Hague, Netherlands, Sept. 8. - A holiday romance in Switzerland was climaxed Tuesday by the royal court announcement that Juliana, heir to the Netherlands throne, will wed a German prince.

He is Bernhard Zu Lippe-Biesterfeld, a smart dresser, an expert linguist and an ardent devotee of sports.

Juliana, too, loves the athletic life. Tennis is her forte.

The date for the wedding was not announced.

Juliana, who is 27 years old, two years older than the nobleman, who is to become her prince consort, frequently has been the object of solicitude for Dutch matchmakers.

They linked her name romantically -for a time-with that of King Edward VIII of England as one of the five princesses "eligible" to wed the British monarch.
