On January 23, 2026, Princess Amalia completed the General Military Training (AMO) and was promoted to the rank of corporal. The training is part of the education programme the Princess is undertaking at Defensity College. Now that she has completed the AMO, the Princess will wear a military uniform when working with the Ministry of Defence.
Queen Máxima attended the completion ceremony at the Ministry of Defence in Ermelo. Previously, King Willem-Alexander appointed Princess Amalia to the reserve personnel of the Armed Forces. Princess Amalia performs her duties on an unpaid basis, and her study time is regarded as private. Defensity College aims to offer students a meaningful part-time job alongside their studies, while increasing visibility and strengthening the connection between the Armed Forces and society.
War een bikkel!

ReplyDeleteWow I am very impressed, not an easy undertaking.She looks very comfortable in her environment. She is having a wonderful opportunity to meet people from other walks of life. Momma is so proud.
ReplyDeleteKudos to Amalia. I am impressed with how the current generation of crown princesses (or equivalent) across European royal families are undertaking military training. Well done to them for their commitment to their countries.

ReplyDeleteKudos on earning a reward, did she ever finish her educational pursuits? I know at the time she 'graduated', but had not completed the course work.
ReplyDeleteBrava CP Amalia. It’s so good to see future monarchs taking part in military training. Maxima looks like a super proud Mom.

ReplyDeleteAnon 1710 does it matter if she finished her degree. Sometimes learning by other means is just as important
