RoyaltyThe Dutch Princess Amalia (20) will stop reimbursing her expenses from next year. This is evident from a letter from the princess to Prime Minister Rutte. As long as Amalia studies, she will repay the income part of her compensation. She is now completing the second year of her studies at the University of Amsterdam.
“On June 11, 2021, I wrote to you that I would refund the income part of the benefit constitutionally granted to me during my studies,” Amalia starts in her letter to Rutte. “I also wrote to you that I would refund the B component (the expense allowance) as long as I did not have to incur high costs in my position as Princess of Orange.”
“With the passage of time and after surprising circumstances, it is now foreseeable that I will have to take into account personnel and material expenses with a view to an independent and independent fulfillment of my position, including a secretariat and reservations for a living and working accommodation. For this reason, I will no longer refund the constitutional expense allowance (B component) from January 1, 2025. I will of course continue to pay back the income until the end of my studies. Once again I hope you understand this.”

Payment
Since her 18th birthday at the end of 2021, Princess Amalia has been entitled to a statutory benefit, a total of more than 1.8 million euros for this year. In a letter to Prime Minister Rutte, she announced that she would refund this benefit before her 18th birthday. “I find that uncomfortable as long as I have little to offer in return and other students are having a much more difficult time, especially in these Corona times.”
Now that she has to incur more and more costs in her position as Princess of Orange, she writes to the Prime Minister that she will no longer refund the part that she can use for expenses (1.5 million) as of January 1, 2025. However, she will continue to do so with the income portion (322,000 euros) until the end of her studies.
