The 16-year-old Princess is pursing her International Baccalaureate at the school in Wales, while her older sister Princess Catharina-Amalia is taking a gap year.
“We are confident that they will do well,” Maxima said of her daughters during the royal family’s annual summer photocall in July (via RTL Boulevard ). “They still have a mother and father at home. If there is a problem, we are always available.“
