Princess Amalia of the Netherlands has revealed her thoughts on university life after she was forced to move back home due to threats against her last autumn.
The Princess of Orange, who was on a tour of the Dutch Caribbean islands with her parents, said that she misses “the normal life of a student” the most and being able just to enter a shop.
Amalia also thanked everyone for the support they’ve shown her as she’s dealt with the threats: “I really want to express my gratitude for all the support from both friends and family, but also from all parts of the Netherlands and therefore also the Caribbean.”
The heir to the Dutch throne enrolled at the University of Amsterdam in the autumn of 2022 and moved into student housing. However, those accommodations did not last long due to threats against her.
The Royal House of the Netherlands said after the move that the teenage royal was only leaving Huis ten Bosch Palace for classes.
During a state visit to Sweden, Amalia’s mother, Queen MĂ¡xima, told reporters, “It has huge consequences for her life. It means she doesn’t live in Amsterdam and also that she can’t really go outside.”
“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,” she added.
Princess Amalia is studying politics, psychology, law and economics.
