Albrecht Willem "Pim" Lier (July 22, 1918 – April 9, 2015) was a Dutch lawyer and jurist. He became well known in 1979 when he was revealed to be the illegitimate son of Duke Henry of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, the prince consort and husband of Queen Wilhelmina. That made him a half-brother of Queen Juliana and the half-uncle of Queen Beatrix.
He became a member of the Centre Party in 1984 and served as chairman until 1986.
On 18 December 1986 he shot his wife due to her terminal illness. He served four and a half years in prison for murder.[2]
