My goodness, that is a very full degree! I did politics as a minor in my degree and that alone required hours of study.

I agree @Curryong. This is beyond what we'd refer to as a "double" major and more like a "quadruple" one.

I am impressed! Congratulations Amalia! The perfect combination of subjects for a future Queen.

I was thinking I wonder when we will get update on college and realize simply missed it.

@TLLK Its not quite a quadruple major. Its an interdisciplinary degree, so all 4 are treated almost as 1 major study wise. 3 year program.

Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics (PPLE) - University of Amsterdam

I was surprised with Amsterdam. I thought maybe Leiden like her father and Uncle,and Margriet.

But both her Uncle Friso's widow Mabel and her father's cousin Maria Carolina studied political science and economics there,so footsteps to follow.

I absolutely love this three generations photo! I don't recall seeing a previous one unless we were to count any group photos from W-A's ascension.

King W-A's tenth ascension anniversary will be marked by a special luncheon.

Short video of the luncheon promotion.

QuoteA festive lunch

On the occasion of his tenth anniversary as King, His Majesty the King, together with Her Majesty the Queen, will be hosting a festive lunch at Huis ten Bosch Palace on Wednesday, April 26, 2023. A 10 times! For this he is looking for a hundred guests who in the eyes of others deserve a ten. Do you immediately think of that one person, that helper in need, that beacon in the neighborhood, that problem solver, pacesetter, reconciler, inspirer or connector? Then nominate that person with a short personal motivation. You can do this until Monday 20 February. King Willem-Alexander and Queen M?xima are looking forward to receiving a hundred guests who make a difference with their commitment to others and to their environment. A hundred people who may consider themselves very ordinary, but of whom you say: they deserve a ten!

Wow, a great achievement and Alexia should be very proud of this milestone. What?s next for her, I wonder. More tertiary study in the Netherlands? Then perhaps a year or two at a US or UK University to get a Masters? Plenty to think about.

TLLK · May 20, 2023, 10:36:50 PM

I wonder if she will take a gap year like her sister Amalia?

Maybe. Gap years can be useful and handy for a breathing space father than nearly 20 years of continuous education. It is good I think to have a bit of a plan and maybe do some volunteering somewhere else in the world for a few months as well, as William and Harry did. Enjoying yourself, having fun, meeting new and different people, the world is wide open really at that age.
