These days, it oftentimes seems that the royal scandals of the past continue to haunt the present.
From what we can tell, the princess is already planning to modernize the monarchy.
This has been evident since Catharina-Amalia was just a child.
A decade or so later, it seems that the queen’s parenting efforts have paid off.
After all, she has an obligation to promote local culture above all else.
One can only imagine that Catharina-Amalia grew up with these things, too.
At one point, she even talks about going to therapy.
“I don’t think it is a taboo.
She compared psychological wellness to physical fitness, stating, “Everyone talks about healthy food and sports.
And that’s also important.
But mental health is equally important” (via Express).
Growing up, she was not even expected to attend many royal engagements.
Her environment right now should only include her parents, her sisters, and her friends.”
This has been true since 2005 when the couple struck a deal with the Dutch press.
As of publication, the princess has chosen not to react to any specific article.
However, tabloids have already come under fire for their coverage of her weight.
The magazine’s cover story read, “Maxima’s oldest daughter proudly wearing her plus-size look.”
… A princess who goes through puberty without taboos and defends her figure of ‘real woman.'"
Shortly after this iteration of Caras was released, the Internet blew up in response.
While some royal fans body-shamed the teenage princess, others defended her gorgeous look.
The heir to the Dutch throne has also experienced security threats as a result of her high-ranking position.
This was especially true in 2022 when Catharina-Amalia was living in a student apartment in the center of Amsterdam.
Unfortunately, however, any semblance of freedom that Catharina-Amalia experienced was short-lived.
As reported byThe Guardian, the royals’ reaction was swift.
Catharina-Amalia was removed from her student apartments and relocated to the palace.
She was only allowed to leave the palace to attend her classes at the University of Amsterdam.
According to Queen Maxima, this was absolutely devastating for the young princess.
Per The Guardian, the protective mother told the ANP, “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.
There is no student life for her like others have."
I miss the normal life, the life of a student.
Of course, even when Catharina-Amalia did have this freedom, she was never seen as normal.
This has made Catharina-Amalia feel deeply uncomfortable over the years.
The Dutch royal family is no stranger to anti-monarchical sentiments.
In 2021, King Willem-Alexander was even sued based on the alleged illegality of some of his powers.
If the Republicans do eventually triumph, Catharina-Amalia seemed to think that she would be okay.
In the past, she has demonstrated her ability to work hard, even serving at a beachside cafe.
And, she has made this abundantly clear.
The princess felt that she contributed “little in return.”
She went on to add, “Other students have it so much more difficult.”
This decision has many royal fans believing that Catharina-Amalia plans on being a totally different punch in of queen.
