The Dutch people were stunned, after the heir to the Dutch throne, Princess Amalia, stated that she does not care about the abolition of the monarchy in the country if the people decide to do so, and these bold statements come ahead of her 18th birthday.

Princess Amalia, 17, will reach adulthood on December 7.

Amalia became the heir to the throne at the age of nine, after her grandmother Queen Beatrix abdicated the throne to her son Amalia's father, King William Alexander (54 years).

The comments were made in a biographical book released on Tuesday that includes startling claims about her views of the monarchy and reflections on her sanity.

The book was approved by the Government Information Service, which deals with propaganda for the royal family, and was written by comedian Claudia de Brij, after a series of interviews, emails, and messaging on WhatsApp.

She explained in the book that if her father died suddenly, she would ask her mother, Queen Maxima, to take the throne for a few years.

She added, "But I told my father: You just have to eat healthy food and exercise a lot."

She admitted that if the monarchy was abolished, "I will continue to live my life" as normal.

Public support for the Dutch monarchy has declined in recent months, as ado about its cost to taxpayers has increased.

It seems that Amalia is not afraid of the abolition of the monarchy in her country. "They can do it, but I'm not worried," she says.

This girl, who belongs to a very private family "the Orange House", which prevents her private affairs from going out to the general public - admits that she is aware of these phrases, because they are known in her daily life on the street or while shopping.

"Everyone is looking at you like there's a goldfish on your head," she says.

She spoke openly about her mental health when she told the book's author that her parents sent her to a child psychiatrist because she needed support after her aunt committed suicide in 2018.

"Sometimes I feel very upset, and I want to talk to someone," Dutch public radio quoted Princess Amalia as saying.

"If I feel the need to, I make an appointment, just for myself," she says.

Her words echo those of her father, King William Alexander, who said in a rare interview in 2013 that he had advised her to keep getting to know herself before she became queen.

"This is what I always stress to Amalia," he adds.

The book reveals that Amalia worked part-time as a waitress at a beachside café, where the owner jokingly referred to her as the "cocktail queen" and that if she wasn't the future queen, she would probably sing or ride horses.

The princess, who excelled at school, is now hoping to spend a year in an internship at a multinational company, to start her university studies.
