A Horse Accident Will Alter Plans for the Future Queen of the Netherlands as She Announces New Path

King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima's eldest daughter, Princess Catharina-Amalia, has a bright future ahead as the heir to the Dutch throne, but for the moment, the 21-year-old is carrying on with her studies. This week, the Dutch royal family announced the Princess of Orange will be taking on a bachelor's degree in Dutch law and will also train to become a military reservist—but the royal's recent horse accident will prevent her from taking part in some of these activities.

On Monday, June 30, Princess Catharina-Amalia—who had surgery for a broken arm on June 10 after falling off her horse—joined her parents along with sisters Princess Ariane, 18, and Princess Alexia, 20, for the family's annual summer photo call. The event was postponed from its original June date following the Princess of Orange's accident.
