During King’s Day, the princess released something for the first time about the threats and the year in the Spanish capital, Madrid. “I was able to find my freedom a little more there than was possible here,” said Princess Amalia last Saturday in Emmen. She also said that she had a fantastic time in Spain, even though it was not entirely voluntary. Still, she is very happy to be back.
Going into hiding because of threats
Princess Amalia had to say goodbye to the city just after starting her studies in Amsterdam. This is because there were threats surrounding the princess. She went into hiding. For a long time it was not clear where the princess was, but last month it became clear that she had lived in Madrid for a year.
Maxima worried
Queen Máxima also talked about this difficult period. “Amalia is an independent girl and very smart, so she can handle it very well.” Yet the queen granted her daughter the freedom and wings that you had to give a child to develop itself. That is why she and her husband, King Willem-Alexander, decided that the princess was better off in Madrid after the threat.
