Princess Catharina-Amalia's Horse Riding Mishap: A Setback for the Dutch Crown
Princess Amalia experiences a broken arm during equestrian activity. - Princess Amalia suffers a broken arm after horseback riding incident.
Hey there! Let's talk about our beloved Princess Amalia's recent misfortune. The 21-year-old Dutch Crown Princess suffered a fall from a horse, resulting in a fractured arm. She'll be undergoing surgery at the University Medical Center in Utrecht, as announced by the royal palace. We're still waiting to learn if this accident will affect her official duties and future appointments.
It seems like our brave princess has experienced her first significant injury, as her sisters have faced setbacks in the past. In 2016, Princess Alexia broke her right thigh during a ski holiday in Austria, and in 2018, Princess Ariane took a tumble while ice skating, resulting in a broken wrist.
A scheduled semi-annual photo session with King Willem-Alexander, Queen Máxima, and the three princesses Amalia (21), Alexia (19), and Ariane (18) was initially planned for Thursday. However, it's unclear at this time if the session will still take place as planned, given Amalia's injury.
What we do know is that this mishap has put a hold on Amalia's upcoming official engagements. For instance, the summer photo session at Paleis Huis ten Bosch, which was set for Thursday, has been rescheduled to June 30 to accommodate her recovery. As for her future plans, details are scarce, with the focus currently centered on her recovery from the arm fracture.
The Dutch royal family has stepped up to support Amalia during this difficult time. For example, Queen Máxima has canceled her appearance at the CGAP congress in Amsterdam, while King Willem-Alexander attended the opening of the Holland Festival on his own. Unfortunately, there's no word yet about any upcoming engagements for Princess Amalia beyond these schedule adjustments.
