King Heinrich I of the Netherlands

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Heinrich_XXXII_Reuss_of_Köstritz

Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands was childless until the birth of Juliana in April 1909 but before this she suffered at least two miscarriages. Supposing one of them proved fatal and Heinrich (XXXII Reuss of Kostritz), what happens to the Netherlands if the crown passes to a *very* pro-German King? If he can inherit and the country overwhelmingly rejects him who might come into possession of the crown next?
 
I actually see a succession conflict arising, maybe even war. The Dutch were very afraid of Heinrich getting the crown. They tried to get a bill passed that would change the line of succession in favor of Duke William Ernest or any other candidate. If Wilhelmina dies from her first miscarriage then the ascension of the throne will probably go to Princess Marie of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. She was considderd too sickly and old to have the throne, but they might try to persuade her not to give the crown to Heinrich too soon, but in favor of someone else or delay her long enough to have the bill pass to change the line of succession. And pray she stays capable of ruling at least well enough to fake it. If Wilhelmina dies during her second miscarriage or Juliana is a miscarriage as well then conflict is sure to arise because everything will be done to prevent Heinrich from gaining the throne and endanger the sovereignity of the Netherlands. The bills will be passed quickly to legally keep Heinrich from the throne. This will go as far as taking up arms i think. Whoever will stand up in favor of the Dutch against Heinrich is beyond me though.
