Princess Ariane of the Netherlands was born on April 10, 2007, in The Hague, Netherlands.
Within a few weeks, however, the newborn’s health went south, generating a heart-wrenching crisis.
Things first started going wrong for Ariane around the time she turned 1 month old.
Instead, the tiny royal spent three full days in the hospital, as she fought for her life.
Thus far, Princess Ariane’s older sisters have already shown themselves to be fascinating figures.
After all, Alexia has demonstrated an interest in traveling to Patagonia for traditional Argentine horsemanship.
Compared to her older siblings, Ariane is known for her ability to think deeply.
Interestingly, though, a key part of Ariane’s more thoughtful personality is a sense of introversion.
This has apparently allowed her to bond with her grandmother, Queen Beatrix.
As a young child, Ariane focused primarily on the piano and ballet.
However, as she got older, her interests shifted to include horseback riding and drawing.
Of course, not all aspects of Ariane’s education have remained so traditional.
Of course, it is expected that Ariane will also venture to perfect her Italian while at the UWC.
As explained on theUWCwebsite, a whopping 80% of its attendees are on financial aid.
Because of this, the princess will come into contact with people from all different walks of life.
After all, the adorable young royal has long shown an interest in leading a more normal life.
Of course, longing for normalcy is very different than having it.
As a princess, Ariane cannot help but be in the public eye.
“The period of the princesses' school years is private.
Even as a teenager, the young princess has struggled with some infringements of her privacy.
The decision prompted fears of a kidnapping just more proof that normalcy and royalty do not always combine.
Then, finally, she’ll be allowed to dance the night away.
Maxima, in particular, has not been afraid to share her praise with the press.
During this conversation, Maxima revealed that Ariane is growing up to be extremely kind yet also surprisingly strong.
Maxima went on to applaud her daughter’s natural gifts, stating, “She has incredible talents.”
