Dutch Crown Princess Amalia, 18, is forced to live with her parents instead of her student accommodation in Amsterdam due to threats, and only goes out to attend university, the royal family said on Thursday .
Security measures around the princess have recently been considerably reinforced because the authorities fear an attempted kidnapping or attack.
The consequences are very difficult for her
The situation is “really very difficult“, said King Willem-Alexander during a press conference on a state visit to Sweden. According to Queen Maxima, the threats surrounding the princess – who is in the first year of a bachelor’s degree in politics, psychology, law and economy (PPLE) – have “enormous consequences“about his life.
“She did not leave the house. That means she doesn’t live in Amsterdam, she can’t really go out. The consequences are very difficult for her“, said the queen, visibly moved. “It’s not a student life for her“, added the royal couple, who live in The Hague.
