Queens in waiting
From Leonor to Amalia: These young princesses will rule in Europe
The future is female in Europe’s monarchies: with Amalia of the Netherlands, Ingrid Alexandra von Norway and other young women are waiting for queens in the next generation.
The school has ended, the future lies ahead of them – but in the case of Amalia of the Netherlands, Ingrid Alexandra von Norway, Elisabeth of Belgium and Leonor of Spain is not as open to them as with school friends. Your life is predetermined because one day you will follow your fathers on the throne. During her childhood and early youth, her royal parents slowly but steadily prepared them for the obligations associated with the service for the crown.
Big tasks await the crown princess. Even if you will no longer have any power, you have to represent your country internally and outside. The public judgment is also made about the royal offspring at a young age – Crown Princess Amalia has experienced this fairly. The family network that surrounds young women is all the more important. In the speeches that you have previously kept on the occasion of your legal age, thanks to the parents and grandparents comes up. Königshäuser are family businesses – the next generation gives their knowledge and experiences in the hope that the job will be easier.
