Categories: Order of Orange-Nassau

The Order of Orange-Nassau (Dutch: Orde van Oranje-Nassau, Dutch pronunciation: [oːˈrɑnjə ˈnɑsʌu̯]) is a civil and military Dutch order of chivalry founded on 4 April 1892 by the Queen regent Emma, acting on behalf of her under-age daughter Queen Wilhelmina.

The Order is a chivalric order open to "everyone who has earned special merits for society". These are people who deserve appreciation and recognition from society for the special way in which they have carried out their activities. The lower grades of the order are comparable with the ranks of the Order of the British Empire in the UK, but titles, prefixes or post-nominals (other than academic ones) are not used in the Netherlands (the only exception being for members of the Military William Order).

Commander is the 3rd of 6 grades of the order.
