John William Friso (Dutch: Johan Willem Friso; 14 August 1687 – 14 July 1711) became the (titular) Prince of Orange in 1702. He was the Stadtholder of Friesland and Groningen in the Dutch Republic until his death by accidental drowning in the Hollands Diep in 1711.[1] From the end of World War II in 1945 until 2022, Friso and his wife, Marie Louise of Hesse-Kassel, were the most recent common ancestors of all reigning hereditary European monarchs.[citation needed]
