Would Princess Amalia's knowing the military forces be compared to how Queens Wilhelmina, Juliana, and Beatrix knew the military forces?
How wonderful to read that she started getting to know the armed forces. I only wonder why she would wear her hair 'loose' even when visiting the navy and army. Only when visiting the air force, she wore a ponytail.
According to magazine 'Story' Pss Amalia has been spotted in an airplane to Vienna on November 25th. The magazine speculates that it was a romantic trip and that the princess has reconnected with Isebrand.

And who's Isebrand? Is a boy? A girl? Or a non-binary?

Bunte online, the German tabloid, has a "page filler" with the title: "Love or Throne - The Crown Princess has to make a Decision"
https://www.bunte.de/royals/niederl...e-muss-sich-entscheiden-liebe-oder-thron.html
It is a lot of hot air, blah what if she wants to marry a commoner and the Parliament does not approve and so on. What if she loses the drive to become Queen because of the Mafia misery and so on...
But then they cite RTL and there comes the interesting part: So, from a legal point of view there is alledgedly no way for her to step back, before she became Queen. There is simply no rule! A Crown Prince(ss) becomes Monarch in the Netherlands. Period!
That is interesting (at least I think so). Because no intriguer can stop a Crown Prince(ss) from getting onto the throne.
The way for her to 'step back' is to marry without the consent of Parliament. Her uncle did so - as did two of her great-aunts
Thank you for pointing that out! And for all the other mistakes you did find! It looks like Bunte is over the time becoming less trustworthy...

Fortunately Amalia is too young to consider marriage.
Bad enough that she cannot pursue her studies like all the other royal princesses who will be queen.
Look at Elisabeth of Belgium, Ingrid of Norway, Leonor of Spain. Somehow their parents have arranged for them to have privacy while they are getting their education.
And, really, no European country can be sure of not getting threats of some kind of crazy , radical people.
The parents should try to find a safe place for Amalia where she can study, make friends and can enjoy kind of a "normal" life, without those horrible threats.
What about going to their Carribean islands to study? Even if they don't have "prestigious" universities, it still would give her a break from all those insecurities.
Oh well, I am just musing about what I would consider if I was her parent.
Indeed. While Willem-Alexander pointed towards this specific Bachelor's program, it was Amalia herself who decided she would like to apply for this program at the University of Amsterdam. My understanding was that Amalia is able to attend classes at the university but cannot do anything else. Any place she visits needs to be screened intensively - but if she attends the same location for her studies most days, I assume that's much easier than an unpredictable student social life.The parents were exactly considering a study as normal as possible: not at the traditional (seen as posh) Leyden University but in Amsterdam and living in the very centre of the city. Princess Amalia has had two weeks of normal students' life. She still is a student anyway but arrangements have been made regarding her security. With lots of distance learning and personal sessions, we may assume.
My colleagues at the University of Curacao, the University of Aruba and the University of St Maarten (as well as other higher education institutions (mostly 'HBO'-level - but still part of higher education) on the Caribbean part of the kingdom) beg to differ! There definitely IS higher education on the islands. You might even recall the king, queen and princess of Orange attending a lecture at the University of Aruba a less than 3 weeks ago!There is no higher education on the Caribbean isles, simply because the population is not big enough to uphold an institution on real academic level, with research and development facilities, laboratories, test sites et al. The inhabitants of the Caribbean isles exactly go the other way: to the Netherlands, to pursue academic education.
That's indeed an option they might consider if the expectation would be that there is no 'relaxation' of the security situation is expected in the next few years (and if they can arrange appropriate security arrangements there - because I am pretty sure that they will be able to find her anywhere in the world); however, I doubt they'll offer this specific program elsewhere. If lucky, she might be able to transfer some of her credit points if she would decide to move to a different university (hopefully, that won't be needed).The Princess could continue her education in Argentina or so, but maybe that would be seen as a capitulation to the threats against her life.
According to the Spanish El Confidential/ Vanitas newspaper/magazine the Princess has been spotted in Madrid yet again. They are speculating if the princess may have a special friend in the Spanish capital.

I assume they speak Spanish at home anyway as it is Maximas first language? I would be surprised if the A team wasnt fluent in that language.
Maybe Maxima hired security with Argentine origin.
