Princess Amalia delivers confident debut speech to Raad van State

Dutch News  

A confident Princess Amalia has addressed the Raad van State for the first time in her capacity as the official heir to the throne. Addressing her father as ‘chairman, if I may call you this’, the princess said she hoped the moment when she would take over as chair would be ‘a long way into the future, although I realise it could be as soon as tomorrow’. Vice-chair and de facto leader of the Raad van State, Thom de Graaf, who has been known to support a purely ceremonial role for the head of state, and applauded the abolition in 2012 of royal involvement in the formation process, remarked on the changing nature of royalty. De Graaf said he hoped princess Amalia would have the opportunity to explore ‘other worlds’ like any 18-year-olds and would only take her place as chairwoman after ‘a very long time’.
