Hospitalization of Crown Princess Amalia follows equestrian accident
Get the latest scoop on the Dutch royal family! Crown Princess Amalia, the eldest child of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima, recently endured a setback during a horseback ride that necessitated surgery. It's a blow to the family, especially considering they were all prepared to attend an important event.
Our beloved Princess Amalia, just 21 years old, suffered a broken arm after a fall from her horse. The royal household reported the unfortunate incident on their official website yesterday. The University Medical Center in Utrecht is where she's undergoing treatment as we speak. Further updates regarding the impact on her official engagements will be shared when more information becomes available.
Dutch media outlets have speculated that Princess Amalia has a critical event scheduled for Thursday: a semi-annual family photo session with her father, King Willem-Alexander, her mother, Queen Máxima, and her sisters, Princess Alexia and Princess Ariane. However, it remains uncertain whether Princess Amalia will be able to join in due to her injury.
This seems to be the first time Princess Amalia has experienced a bone fracture. Her sisters have dealt with such injuries before: Princess Alexia fractured her right thigh during a ski trip in Austria in 2016, while Princess Ariane broke her wrist while ice-skating in 2018.
Since Queen Beatrix's abdication and King Willem-Alexander's ascension to the throne in April 2013, Princess Amalia stands as the heir to the Dutch throne.
