THE HAGUE, Netherlands — A 33-year-old individual is scheduled for a court appearance next week following his detention for allegedly planning an assault on two members of the Dutch royal family, according to prosecutors who announced the case on Friday.
Court documents released by The Hague Public Prosecutor’s Office reveal that the individual is accused of planning an assault targeting Princess Amalia, the 22-year-old future queen of the Netherlands, along with her younger sister, 20-year-old Princess Alexia, during February in The Hague.
The court filing detailed disturbing evidence allegedly found in the suspect’s possession. “The suspect was allegedly in possession of two axes in early February with the words ‘Alexia’, ‘Mossad’, and ‘Sieg Heil’ carved into them, and he allegedly had a handwritten sheet with the words ‘Amalia’, ‘Alexia’, and ‘Bloodbath,’” the scheduling order said.
A representative from The Hague prosecutor’s office refused to provide additional information about the investigation before Monday’s procedural hearing. Authorities have not disclosed the location or timing of the man’s arrest. Following Dutch privacy laws, the suspect’s identity remains confidential.
The Royal House has not yet responded to requests for comment regarding the incident.
This is not the first time Princess Amalia has been targeted with threats. In 2022, the crown princess was compelled to abandon her university studies in Amsterdam and return to her family’s royal residence due to security concerns linked to criminal organizations. During that period, Queen Maxima revealed that Amalia “can’t leave home” and that the situation has “enormous consequences for her life.”
Following those threats, Amalia relocated to Madrid for several months. She later expressed gratitude to the Spanish capital by inaugurating a tulip garden there to thank residents for their warm welcome.
This case follows a previous incident in 2020 when another individual was found guilty of making threats against the princess, including sending menacing messages through Instagram to the then-16-year-old royal and one of her companions.
