Since 2003, every December 7 has been marked in red on the Dutch royal family’s calendar: it is the birthday of King William and Maxima’s eldest daughter, Princess Amalia. The celebration of the heir to the throne has always taken place in strict secrecy at Huis ten Bosch Palace, where he has gathered his loved ones and friends. But on this occasion the Princess of Orange may propose to change this arrangement and begin a new return to the Sun with a historic royal conference.
It is common in some European monarchies to celebrate the coming of age of their future monarchs with a big party, as Christian of Denmark and Ingrid of Norway did recently. However, Amalia in the Netherlands could not organize an event of this magnitude at the age of 18 because in 2021 we are in the midst of a health crisis, with many restrictions preventing such gatherings. Now that normality has once again characterized the health situation, according to Point de VueOrange is considering the possibility of hosting a big dance.
Without official confirmation at this point, it seems clear that such an important occasion will bring together numerous royal houses united by family ties and friendship with the Dutch. Thus, the historical image of the five future emperors posing together that occurred on Ingrid of Norway’s birthday may be repeated. The host posed with Elisabeth from Belgium, Amalia from the Netherlands, Charles from Luxembourg and Estelle from Sweden. A very similar snapshot also occurred in Christian from Denmark’s birthday.
When this great party finally takes place, it won’t be out of the ordinary for members of the Spanish royal family to attend. It should be noted that the Princess of Orange is not only of the same generation as Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia, but she is very close to our country, which was her home for a year, and she remembers it as “a wonderful time”. To always remember his time in Madrid, where he arrived after being forced to leave Amsterdam due to threats, he gave the city some tulips that have already been planted in the Plaza de Oriente, steps away from the Royal Palace.
Princess Amalia’s most personal side
When he turned 18, he didn’t have a huge party to celebrate being first in line to the Dutch throne, but he did take important steps like joining the Council of State. Also, we got to know his most personal side to reveal his biography. In the book, written by Claudia de Bridge, he said: “I am in the service of my country, I gave my life for Holland.” Throughout the 112 pages she confesses that she has never been a rebel, that she is academically ambitious, and that as a child she loved watching princess movies, especially those of Empress Sissy.
Through the publication she sought to voice the importance of mental health, revealing that she had been to a child psychologist as a child and was about to see a therapist. “If I feel the need, I make an appointment. I figure everything out and I’m ready for a month.” ” It should be noted that in 2018 the Queen’s sister Ines Zorreguieta committed suicide and in 2013 the King’s brother Prince Friso died due to an avalanche in which he was trapped.
As for her family, the Princess of Orange admits to having a very close relationship with her parents and her two sisters. He defines Queen Maxima as “my friend and my colleague” and he highlights their complicity with King William, although the king is more serious. Speaking about Princess Alexia, he said that she is “more rational” while Princess Ariane is a dreamer and always wants to keep the peace. The middle one just changed careers, now studying civil engineering, and the youngest is doing graduate studies at UWC Atlantico College Adriatico in Italy.
