It is British to use the king or queen's name as an adjective for a period or style only ? Do they never say : period Henry V or period Anne I or Elisabeth II? . (Queen Anne style is remarkable as maybe an exception, which is interesting)). We talk about Victorian furniture, paintings, sculptures. Edwardian style.
Continental periods are period + name: period Louis XIV , but also adjective before period : Habsburgian and Napoleontic period . So after the Beatrix period or period Beatrix we will have the Willem Alexander period or period W. A.
