The monarchy of the Netherlands is the constitutional monarchy of the Netherlands.
As such, the role and position of the monarch are defined and limited by the Constitution of the Netherlands.
Consequently, a large portion of it is devoted to the monarch; roughly a third of the document describes the succession, mechanisms of accession and abdication to the throne, the roles and responsibilities of the monarch and the formalities of communication between the States General and the role of the monarch in the creation of laws. The Kingdom of the Netherlands has been an independent monarchy since 16 March 1815, but its one-time sovereign provinces have intermittently been "governed" by members of the House of Orange-Nassau and the House of Nassau from 1559 to 1747, since Philip II of Spain appointed William of Orange as stadtholder.
William became the leader of the Dutch Revolt and the independent Dutch Republic.
As stadtholder, he was followed by several of his descendants.
In 1747, the function of stadtholder became a hereditary position in all Provinces of the thus "crowned" Dutch Republic.
The last stadtholder was William V.
His son became the first king as William I. The cycle of monarchs is described in the first section of Chapter 2 of the Constitution of the Netherlands, which is dedicated to the cabinet.
Willem-Alexander has been King of the Netherlands since 30 April 2013.
