And what did Ariane’s older sisters actually look like at that age? An overview of the princesses as fifteen-year-olds.
Princess Ariane
Starting with the birthday princess herself. Above, Ariane shines during the summer photo session 2021 at Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague. Where the eyes are often focused on the outfits of Máxima and Amalia and on the eyes of Alexia, Ariane, as an exemplary princess, is almost always with a smile in the photo.
Princess Amalia
The future Queen of the Netherlands puts her best foot forward with every photo session. Above during the summer photo session in 2018 at the Eikenhorst in Wassenaar, when she was almost 15 years old. One thing never changes about Amalia until now: her long blond hair.
Princess Alexia
Oh, a photo session to remember. In 2020, fabulous portraits were made of the three A’s. Above, Alexia, one month old at the time, shines in front of Martijn Beekman’s lens in Noordeinde Palace. A picture.
Princess Beatrix
And go ahead, because we don’t miss the opportunity to dive into the archives… Above Princess Beatrix as a fifteen-year-old. At the time, there was also a crisis in our country. Here you see the princess with children who were evacuated from Schouwen-Duiveland and Goeree-Overvlakkee after the flood disaster. They are guests at Soestdijk Palace, where they saw a puppet show and were treated to a snack by Queen Juliana and Princess Beatrix during the intermission.
Princess Juliana
For the last image, we go back to the year 1924 or 1925. In the snapshot, Princess Juliana poses with Queen Mother Emma, about the same age as Princess Ariane is now. The photo was found in an album that contains 89 photos of the former queen.
They have remained so ordinary, the three A’s. In addition to Instagramming and TikTokken, the girls have regular hobbies.
