Claudia de Breij had texted Amalia to congratulate her on her eighteenth birthday (“In the end you exchange numbers”), but the author of the bestseller Amalia had not received an answer from the birthday boy, she told in m. The televised celebration of the Crown Princess’s birthday also brought two portraits: Teen on the way to the throne on Net5 and it by Dionne Stax presented Amalia 18 years old on NPO1. It mainly led to knowledge of the kind that the princess used to be fond of pink cakes (NET5) and that her horse is called Mojito (NPO). According to some, the mojito is the pink cake among cocktails, so that’s right.
We also saw many similar fragments of press moments and King’s Days, we heard that our next queen speaks Chinese, Spanish and English, that she (nine years young!) helped design the dress she wore on her father’s accession to the throne, that she At the age of fourteen, she reconciled with her royal fate, that she was first claimed by a classmate in primary school, then dumped by the child and as a result she visited a child psychologist.
Coolness in the parade of trivialities was the recurring assurance that Amalia’s parents had presented themselves on several occasions as – yes – parents. Seriously commented on images of the first day of school: “Here you see two parents saying goodbye to their child on the first day of school.” NET5 had inside information about the musical at the end of group eight, where the king and queen had behaved like parents to a child at the musical at the end of group eight.
Typical mother and daughter
One of the experts reported that because of the busy jobs of the parents, breakfast is sacred in Huis ten Bosch. “They even set the alarm for that.” (Setting the alarm will never be the same.) Scenes between mother and daughter were interpreted: “So typical mother and daughter.” Words such as lice mother, square guard and bar service were spoken. “Isn’t it fantastic if you are served there by…” Dionne Stax daydreamed. “… Prince Pils!” added royalty expert Rick Evers.
Speaking of the birthday boy’s father: some of the wisest things in Amalia 18 years old (AvroTros) came from the interview Willem-Alexander gave on his fiftieth birthday. He hoped his daughter would resist her destiny, because only in that way could she make it her own. “If she only does it because she has to, you will never be happy in office.” You already got the impression that Willem-Alexander feels more comfortable as a father than as head of state.
In that regard, it was a pity that little attention was paid to Amalia’s most remarkable act: the temporary refusal of the state allowance to which she is entitled. The crown princess apparently likes to take matters into her own hands. In addition, her comment in De Breij’s book (graciously emptied by the TV makers) that if the monarchy were abolished, she would do something else. Don’t be surprised if Amalia starts to fulfill her constitutional role less procedurally-legal than her father – with Beatrix and Máxima there is enough assertiveness in the family.
At the end of Amalia 18 years old Stax wanted to know if the monarchy is still future-proof. Max Westerman had his doubts, but why was he actually asked that? Geert Mak thought it should be more sober and ‘Scandinavian’ – a bit Makkiger actually. Finally, the Amalic superlatives tumbled over each other, culminating in the mother of all tautologies: “Natural Born Queen.” Which was a fitting conclusion in many ways.
