The princess Amalie of Orange, since last year the official heiress to the throne of the Netherlands, debuted in royal functions. The occasion, the act of Prinsjesdag (“Prince’s Day”), date on which the parliamentary year begins and the general budgets of the State are presented. There, the princess – daughter of the Queen Maxima – participated in the traditional tour of the royal carriage through The Hague, along with his mother and father, the king william alexander. And, for this special day, Amalia chose a long green dress with transparent sleeves and a turban Fabiana Delvigne (from her mother’s collection) with diamond stars.
The young princess is preparing to play her role as monarch. In June 2021 she was received with honors from the Sorghvliet Christian School in The Haguewhere his father also studied. She is fluent in Dutch, Spanish, English and Chinese, and this month she began her studies in Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics at the University of Amsterdam. The young woman, last year, during her assumption as her official heir, she renounced her salary that she is entitled to as her heir until she finished her university studies.
This great debut is not the only thing that shows his interest in politics. Last week she attended the gala dinner of the Council of State, an organization in which he has a place since he came of age, although he still does not have the right to vote. And they don’t expect him to attend meetings regularly either, at least until he finishes his studies. Something that seems in the Netherlands is divided, since according to a survey by the Ipsos agency, 4 out of 10 Dutch people believe that it would be prudent for Amalia not to act in public frequently since she is still young and she needs to focus on her studies. her. And, contrary to that, the same study indicates that an identical percentage want to see it more often.
But not all Dutch people are happy with this news. During the float parade, whistles were also heard and upside-down flags could be seen, a sign of protest from the kingdom’s livestock sector over plans to close farms to reduce nitrogen emissions. Even the Dutch newspaper “De Telegraf” reported on the alleged existence of an “organized crime plan” to attack the royal family, which led to tightening the princess’s security.
At the end of next January, Amalia will visit the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlandsand will accompany his parents on a trip through Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba.
