After about two weeks of acquaintance with the Caribbean part of the kingdom, Princess Amalia fell a little in love with the islands, she later told the media. She praised people’s warmth, warmth, she. Amalia was very open and looked confident during the press interview. She was very different from the first time she spoke to the press, nervous and timid, over a year ago.
At the beginning of this journey, the princess seemed a little shy, especially compared to her family. Máxima, who has repeatedly demonstrated her dancing skills, is Willem-Alexander who chats with everyone. Then, as a 19-year-old high school student, you may seem a little calm. Most importantly, she realized that her parents were her mentors on this journey. And there’s nothing like a one-hour photo session for the press or a tour of the city on King’s Day. It’s been on the agenda for two weeks now.
And this is what it looked like:
Any doubts about whether he really enjoyed the trip were dispelled by Amalia. “I really had fun, but it was a very busy schedule. I looked enviously at my parents, who walked around greeting everyone and immediately knew what was going on. (…) I really needed to put this somewhere But I am so grateful for how I was accepted here and how everyone took me to their heart.
The main themes of the visit were culture, nature and slavery. In Curaçao, the princess spoke with the descendants of enslaved people. This left an impression: “Hearing these stories touched me deeply and personally. It was very concrete and real at the same time. I get a lot of life lessons from him.”
Mr. Monte is one of the grandchildren speaking to the royal family. He saw this as a good experience. Antony Reid, who met the princess during an agricultural project on Sint Eustatius, was also very excited. “He was very humble, very committed to us, very nice.”
Alwin Hylkema met Amalia at the sea urchin project in Saba. He showed how sea urchins can help threatened coral reefs. “The princess was very interested. He asked good questions. This is very good after two weeks of travel.”
Amalia liked that she had some freedom when traveling with her family. She is threatened by criminals and has been living at home with her family since September. The student life he’s been looking forward to does not exist for the moment. He is under strict surveillance, and this does not leave him indifferent: “To be honest, I will say that I still had a very difficult time. I miss normal life, student life. Walking the streets.” , go to a Go store.”

Willem Alexander did not worry about his daughter’s safety during this trip. “I’ll leave that to the people who know and say it’s safe for us to walk around here.” She was full of praise to Princess Amalia: “The way she plays with us here, I shine with pride.”
