Dutch Princess Catharina-Amalia moved to palace from student housing. Here's why

Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange and the heir to the throne of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, was moved to the palace from the student housing, which spoiled her plans to attend college like a regular student. Addressing the press during her recent visit to Sweden, Queen Maxima said that the princess' staying at the student housing could have enormous consequences for her life, according to reports.

The queen further said that Catharina-Amalia could not live in Amsterdam and would have to confine herself to The Hague. The princess wanted to live a normal life and even gave up her yearly allowance of $1.9 million after she turned 18. She had written to the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte, that she found it uncomfortable to have the large purse when other students found it hard.



The princess's joining the University of Amsterdam was widely covered in the media. However, subsequent reports indicated that her security was threatened after her name emerged in conversations between criminal gangs. This gave rise to fears of kidnapping or an attack on the princess. As per the new arrangement, Catharina-Amalia will be attending the classes at the university but won’t be staying.

The queen said that she felt bad to see her child not live a normal life but was proud of how the princess kept it all going. The princess' father, King Willem-Alexander, said that he found the situation to be very difficult.
