Not the first threat to Princess Amalia

When he was arrested, the suspect was said to be in possession of two axes and to have had a handwritten sheet of paper with the words “Amalia,” “Alexia” and “Bloodbath.” A first court date is scheduled for next week. According to the public prosecutor's office, the 33-year-old's findings indicate a possible plan to carry out an attack on the daughters of King Willem-Alexander (59) and Queen Máxima (54).

Apparently nothing is known about the man's motive. According to Dutch media reports, it is also unclear how specific the alleged plan for an attack was. Authorities believe the man wanted to attack the royals in The Hague in February.

It is not the first time that Princess Amalia has been threatened. She has been living under increased security precautions for a long time. As early as 2022, it was reported that the police and the public prosecutor's office were very concerned about the safety of the Crown Princess. At the time it was said that there had been threats from mafia circles.

However, the royal family has not recently shown any concern about the renewed threat. A few days ago, King Willem-Alexander celebrated Dutch King's Day in Dokkum, Frisia.
