Independent researchers have concluded that a limited number of colonial-era objects in the Royal Collections may have been obtained through unlawful or unjust means. The findings come from an investigation into roughly 1,000 items carried out by a committee established by the Foundation for the Historical Collections of the House of Orange-Nassau (SHVON). In most cases, the committee found no immediate signs of wrongdoing, although information about many of the objects was incomplete. The origins of around 200 items remain unclear.
