More details about Amalia’s military training
© @koninklijkhuisEarlier this year, Amalia began her military training, a tradition that’s a part of many European royal families. Young royals usually complete their military training, offering a part-time job for them as they complete their studies, while also reinforcing the connection between the armed forces and civilians.
The royal house has been sharing photos of the Princess’ progress, with her following the necessary protocol, including wearing her hair held back and sporting little makeup. Earlier this year, Amalia was accompanied by her mother, Queen Maxima, who attended her graduation from military school. Through the event, Maxima looked excited and on the verge of tears, proud of her daughter’s achievement.
At 22, Princess Amalia is the heir to the Dutch throne. She’s also the first woman in the Dutch royal family to train as a military reservist, combining her duties in the armed forces with the bachelor’s degree she’s pursuing at the University of Amsterdam, where she’s studying law.
