They will be going on winterholidays but just i the school holidays, as Amalia has to go to school. Last year they went on vacation when it wasn't a school holiday.
Considering that Princess Alexia will be starting school in the near future, it will be best that the girls are not missing school.They will be going on winterholidays but just i the school holidays, as Amalia has to go to school. Last year they went on vacation when it wasn't a school holiday.
I believe they call it the crocus-holiday, it usually is half february, though there are 3 different dates for it as the north, middle and south of the country have their holidays in (apart from the christmas holiday) different weeks. Apart from the Crocus holiday they usually have the tulip holiday (2 weeks , usually the beginning of May), the summer holiday (6 weeks), autumn holiday (1 week half october) and christmas holiday (last week of december/first week of january). These are official holidays, so everybody is free. If you want to have extra days of holidays that is VERY dificult to arrange with the school inspection. They even have checks at the airport a day before a holiday starts and fine people who took their child a day before the official holiday starts.
The RF arrived in Lech,Austria for their annual ski holiday.A photo shoot is scheduled for early next week,and yes,all
the grandchildren are along.HM,Alexander & Máxima and Constantijn & Laurentien and all the children will participate
in the "photo event".
Something to look forward too I'd say.
Wow! That is very interesting that they give fines to families who take their children out of school before the holidays. I have taught in the elementary levels before, and I always became quite frustrated with parents who took their children out of school unnecessarily. Is this a school holiday for Amalia? I'm sure that the RF isn't going to break the rules; after all, they seem like they try to set an example for others to follow. Since this seems to be a tradition, then are the children excused in the event that this isn't a holiday?
It is a school holiday for Amalia, according to the website of her school: Vakantierooster

To Stefan:
It hasn't been announced that Friso and family will be there. They weren't at the photoshoot last year and I have no idea if they visit Lech that week either, I don't think they did so last year.

Also Friso and Mabel and their children ??
I've been in the same situation and typically it seems that the children who really need to be at school are the ones who are being pulled out.Wow!
