I think the Bernadotte Foundation and the Orange-Nassau Foundation give all descendants of Prince Gustaf Adolf (father of the King and his sisters) respectively all descendants of Queen Wilhelmina an equal access. I can imagine that in both cases it is the Queen (Silvia resp. Máxima) who has the first hand and who acts as "custodian" of the treasures placed into the Foundation. I can imagine that Silvia and Máxima, themselves no descendants of Prince Gustaf Adolf or Queen Wilhelmina, will not be too frugal when a descendants requests the use of jewels for events in a royal framework.
