Princess Catharina Amalia of the Netherlands hit a major milestone as she officially graduated from the University of Amsterdam.
Princess Amalia was joined by her parents, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima, her sisters, Princess Alexia and Princess Ariane, and her grandmother, Princess Beatrix, for her graduation ceremony at the Royal Concert Hall in Amsterdam.
The Princess of Orange is graduating with her Bachelor of Science in Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics from the University of Amsterdam, a three year degree.
Amalia will not be going far, though, as she is continuing on at UvA for another bachelor’s degree, this time in law. And in addition to her second degree, she will be completing her military reservist training over the next two years at Defensity College.
Her route to graduation hasn’t been easy as her security came under threat at one point and she had to spend some time in Spain.
It has been a busy few months for the Dutch heir as she completed her degree and carried out royal duties. There has been some useful crossover, as she was able to chat with Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, about her thesis topic (AI law in Europe).
Princess Amalia is not the only Dutch royal celebrating this month, though- her youngest sister, Princess Ariane, just graduated from United World College Adriatic.
