Future Queen attends first day of college
It’s the start of a new chapter for Queen Maxima’s daughter Princess Amalia
Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands is a college student! Queen Maxima and King Willem-Alexander’s eldest daughter attended her first day of school at the University of Amsterdam on Monday, Sept. 5.
The future Queen, who wore a trench coat over a blouse teamed with white jeans and sneakers, posed for photos after arriving at the school. Amalia, 18, is enrolled in the Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics Bachelor’s program at the University of Amsterdam.
The Dutch Royal House announced earlier this year that Queen Maxima’s firstborn will be living in Amsterdam. “Accommodation will be rented that the Princess will share with some fellow students,” the Royal House previously shared. “The Princess’s study time is considered private.”

The Princess, who is first in line to the Dutch throne, began her studies at the University of Amsterdam on Sept. 5.
Amalia took a gap year after graduating from Christelijk Gymnasium Sorghvliet in 2021.
Queen Maxima’s eldest child is enrolled in the Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics (PPLE) Bachelor’s program at the University of Amsterdam.
According to the Dutch Royal House, Amalia is “currently focusing on her university studies. When her academic commitments permit, the Princess will participate in Prinsjesdag and in visits and receptions in preparation for her future role as head of state. The same applies to her involvement in King’s Day and photo sessions with the royal family.”
