About this product

Our first real conversation takes place in her mother's study. She on the dark blue couch, me in a ditto armchair, awkwardly scribbling in the notebook on my lap.

;It's a new Leuchtturm, a chic one with lines and page numbers, bought by this stationery fetishist especially for this purpose.

The pages empty, the cover yellow.

Not until I look at her do I see her mocking look."

With Amalia Claudia de Breij continues the tradition that started with Hella Haasse who wrote a portrait of Beatrix (1955) and Renate Rubinstein who portrayed Willem-Alexander in 1985 on the occasion of their eighteenth birthday.

These two portraits were made by the Dutch royal family

The Princess took Claudia de Breij to places that are important to her, including the Royal Stables, the beach and her school. They talked about her motivation to give up her allowance, about singing for yourself, making cocktails, how horse riding helps clear your head and about the pros and cons of social media. She also discussed what being king and her future role currently mean to her. The book shows who Amalia is now - through the eyes of Claudia de Breij
