The country is in turmoil when it turns out that Prince Bernhard has indeed accepted bribes. Juliana threatens to resign. The monarchy is shaken. When senior military officials intervene in the matter out of solidarity with the Prince and the people also demand transparency, Den Uyl can no longer postpone his decision.
