A 33-year-old man has been arrested in the Netherlands for allegedly plotting to murder Princess Catharina-Amalia, heir to the throne, and her sister, Princess Alexia. The suspect, connected to far-right extremist groups, was detained in February while being found with two axes inscribed with
Sieg Heil, a Nazi salute, and
Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. Authorities also discovered a handwritten note that mentioned the princesses' names along with the word
bloodbath.
Security concerns surrounding Princess Amalia have escalated in recent years. She was previously forced into hiding after receiving menacing messages in 2020 and had to vacate her student accommodation in Amsterdam over safety issues, relocating to the royal palace.
According to Queen Maxima, these security measures heavily impact her daughter's life, noting,
“It has enormous consequences for her life.” Meanwhile, Princess Amalia expressed a desire for normalcy, yearning for experiences typical for students like simply
“walking the streets, going to a store.”Despite the threats, the royal family planned to continue public engagements. The suspect faces court proceedings on Monday, reinforcing ongoing concerns about the safety of the Dutch royal family amidst threats from extremist groups and organized crime.
