Princess Amalia of the Netherlands suffered an accident this Tuesday while practicing one of her greatest passions: horseback riding. During a riding session, the heir to the throne suffered a fall that had immediate physical consequences. According to sources close to the Royal House, Amalia fractured an arm and was quickly attended to by the medical team.
The accident occurred while Queen Máxima was participating in an official event related to young people's mental health. The event was taking place at a specialized center, and the queen was in the middle of her institutional intervention when she received an urgent call. The information she was given changed her expression, so everything took a U-turn.
Although the Dutch Royal House hasn't yet released a formal statement, several media outlets have confirmed that the princess is being cared for and her situation is under control. Amalia is expected to rest for several days, which could alter some of the commitments she was scheduled to attend soon. For now, those around her keep their usual discretion, but everything indicates that her recovery will be favorable and without long-term complications.
Amalia of the Netherlands's accident
The news has had a strong media impact in the Netherlands, where Amalia's figure has caused growing interest since she came of age. As heir to the throne, her presence at public events and her institutional role have gained importance, especially since she finished her studies. Although she usually keeps a relatively discreet profile, the Dutch closely follow every step of her preparation as future queen.
This setback comes at an especially significant moment for the princess, who had recently resumed some official activities after a period of greater reserve. Horseback riding is a hobby she has shared since childhood and has practiced at different stages, which makes the accident all the more surprising. Her family, very close and protective, reacted quickly and prioritized her well-being above any other responsibility.
For now, Amalia will remain at her residence while her recovery continues, and it isn't ruled out that a medical report may be issued in the coming days. Citizens hope to receive reassuring news about her condition soon, although the palace environment has been cautious when providing information. Meanwhile, Queen Máxima remains alert to her daughter, after having interrupted her institutional duties without confirming whether she'll immediately resume her schedule.
