I'm not sure that a Prussian CB is the best way to handle it. After all the Duke of Brunswick had been the Dutch premier under William V.
From the EUII event file:
Code:
[COLOR=skyblue]
#The Revolution in Holland#
event = {
id = 3515
random = no
country = HOL
name = "EVENTNAME3515"
desc = "EVENTHIST3515"

offset = 30
deathdate = { day = 1 month = january year = 1791 }
action_a ={ #React against Revolutionary Tendencies!#
name = "ACTIONNAME3515A"
command = { type = domestic which = ARISTOCRACY value = 3 }
command = { type = domestic which = SERFDOM value = 3 }
command = { type = domestic which = INNOVATIVE value = -3 }
command = { type = relation which = PRU value = 150 }
command = { type = relation which = FRA value = -150 }
command = { type = stability value = -1 }
command = { type = INF which = -2 value = 15000 }
command = { type = CAV which = -2 value = 3000 }
command = { type = ART which = -2 value = 30 }
}

command = { type = domestic which = INNOVATIVE value = 1 }
command = { type = relation which = PRU value = -150 }
command = { type = relation which = FRA value = 150 }
command = { type = revoltrisk which = 156 value = 3 }
command = { type = stability value = 1 }
}
}

So there is an event about this, and cetainly the Prussians shouldn't be allowed to invade if the Dutch chose not to have the revolution.
You might also want to look
here for other ideas for the revolution and alternative outcomes.
I suspect that the arrest of Wilhelmina was incidental to Prussian intervention. She had always been encouraging her husband to take a hard line against the Patriots, and it was pretty much inevitable that they would have to break with her in a serious way in order to get rid of the Orange dynasty.
Other comments - I would not mess with badboy that much. As is your sequence will have Prussia get 4 BB points, one from the event, and three for the declaration of war without a casus belli. In addition they will lose 4 stability, 3 for the DOW without a CB, and 1 from the event. That seems a bit harsh to me. .
As an aside, the Patriots were really counting on Louis XVI to prevent foreign interference in the Netherlands (their foreign policy was basically pro-French, while the Orangists were basically pro-British). Perhaps the French should get the chance to stop Prussia. In the end French finances couldn't support any action, which cost Louis a lot of credibility with the army.
