"Raising her glass for a toast at her first ever state banquet last night, Crown Princess Amalia of the Netherlands was the picture of poise and looked every inch the future Queen in her tiara and an elegant navy gown.
It was all the more remarkable coming just hours after the revelation that the 20-year old was previously forced to flee to Spain to escape safety threats by organised crime groups in the Netherlands, just weeks after she started at the University of Amsterdam.
She betrayed no hint of turoil as she joined family members and Spanish royals, King Felipe and Queen Letizia, for her first-ever state banquet where her father King Willem-Alexander referenced the security scare in his speech."
It's been going around that Amalia was under the watchful eyes of the King, Queen and Queen Sofia. I had read a story about Amalia living in Spain, but the story had not been published by either the Dutch or Spanish press until now. As sad as it was that she had to move to Spain, I think the silver lining is that it was good for Amalia to get away from home for a while.
