Not exactly. The constitution says that the king/queen must be a lawful descendant of Willem I, the guy they put on the throne in 1814.

And lawful descendant isn't the same as biologicial descent. It usually amounts to the same thing, but doesn't have to. If a "father" knows a kid isn't his natural son but doesn't get the records changed to reflect that, they'll still be related in the eyes of the law.

I'm not surprised that Beatrix doesn't feel the need to take a DNA test. The controversy around Obama's birthplace comes to mind - he didn't show his birth certificate at first, because the birther theory was obviously bull from the outset (yes, I realize he did eventually show it)

Who was the last Orange descendant, according to you?

That is the difference I was hinting at Kraz, the law of the contitutional monrachy are not he same laws of the nation state. i don't know who was the last descendant he supposedly broke his neck when his horse aurevoired him 300 years ago, don't care either
