Princess Amalia is increasingly coming into the spotlight, but she is now 22 years old and Marijke Helwegen wants more value for her money. She believes that the heir to the throne should be on Instagram. “An insight!”
The royal family costs the taxpayer millions of euros every year and Princess Amalia also receives a nice allowance. Marijke Helwegen has no problem with that in principle, but she would like to see more of our heir to the throne. The society star suggests Amalia some more posts will post on Instagram.
Insight into Amalia
Marijke wants more value for her tax money. When asked whether she thinks Amalia and the other royals should appear more on social media, she answers Story: “Yes. As a royal family you must strive for accessibility.”
“Our people want to see what the princesses do. The royal family is also financed with our tax money, so we also want an insight into their lives.”
Learning from Eloise
Amalia and her sisters can learn enough from their niece Eloise, says royal family expert Johan Vlemmix. “Amalia, Alexia and Ariane are princesses of our time and you should take advantage of that. They really don’t have to share everything.”
He continues: “I think the princesses also enjoy being on social media. Their niece Eloise does that too and you can see how much she enjoys it.”
Unbelievable
Hans Kazàn is against Marijke’s proposal. “It will be too contrived. I don’t see the princesses posting that they were out for a night at the pub or shopping.”
He concludes: “It will be determined for them what can and cannot be included, and that does not make it credible.”
