'Property Prince' Bernhard Jr. Sells Real Estate and Business Interests

Prince Bernhard van Oranje-Nassau, often dubbed the 'Pandjesprins' (roughly 'Property Prince'), is significantly scaling back his business and real estate holdings. His investment company, Cyrte Investments, has sold its stake in the online retailer Wehkamp, marking another major divestment for the royal entrepreneur.

This latest move comes after a series of high-profile sales. Earlier this year, Cyrte Investments divested its interest in The Student Hotel, a rapidly growing chain of student accommodations. Prior to that, the prince had already sold a substantial real estate portfolio, signaling a strategic shift away from his previous investment focus.

The prince, a descendant of the Dutch royal family, has built a considerable business empire over the years, often investing in real estate and technology startups. His nickname, 'Pandjesprins,' highlights his extensive property investments, which have been a cornerstone of his wealth. The recent sales suggest a deliberate strategy to consolidate or redirect his considerable assets, though the specific reasons for this divestment have not been publicly detailed by the prince or his representatives.
