‘No student life’: Dutch Crown Princess Amalia under heightened security
- Dutch Crown Princess Catharina-Amalia is under heightened security due to concern that she could be targeted by criminals
- The 18-year-old university student has moved from Amsterdam back to the Huis ten Bosch royal palace in The Hague
Dutch crown princess, 18-year-old Catharina-Amalia, has moved from her student digs in Amsterdam to the royal palace due to threats to her security, the royal family said.
The heir to the Dutch throne was only venturing out to attend classes at the University of Amsterdam, they said.
King Willem-Alexander spoke of a “very tough” situation during a state visit to Sweden.
“It has huge consequences for her life. It means she doesn’t live in Amsterdam and also that she can’t really go outside,” said Queen Maxima, according to the Dutch outlet AD.
The princess has moved back to the Huis ten Bosch royal palace in The Hague.
“The consequences are very difficult for her. No student life for her, like other students have … It’s not nice to see your child live like that. She can go to university, but that’s it,” Queen Maxima said.
Princess Amalia is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in politics, psychology, law and economics. She had been living in rented accommodation she shared with several other students in Amsterdam.
