Came across this podcast with Eloise on YouTube.

The discussed the topic 'status'. Among other things she told that while her siblings cried when they heard that they were moving from Brussels to The Hague, Eloise was fine as she looked forward to the adventure of 'new things'. She also said that the day after she publicly expressed that she was 'somewhat' involved with someone, she ended that 'not-yet-relationship'. In addition, when asked about her experiences as a student in Corona-times' she told that she is enjoying her time as her student, went into self-isolation 3 times and tested positive once.

"Countess Eloise believes that without her more than 250,000 followers on Instagram, it would not have been possible to write her first book."

That is interesting, I hope making money from her social media pays out. So many choose this way why not her, in the Netherlands the mood seems very different from other european monarchies.
Though I must smile a little bit and hope that being 18 only, "learning by doing" will not stop for her and maybe there are more books to be expected once she grows older.
all the best. guess the book will only be available in dutch?

She has to make a living anyway as in the Netherlands only the King, the future King and the former King (+ spouses) receive an allowance.

Not really needed yet when only 18 years old; but it is a nice side-gig for her next to her studies at the Hotel school.

yes, but do you know another royal in europe who does a similar thing from instagram?
as she said in this interview without her sm-followers this book had not been written.
maybe she is a trendsetter :)

Whilst it's not based on her Instagram Martha-Louise of Norway has written books based on her somewhat controversial interests.

It probably wouldn't fly in some other monarchies but they're all different.

From what I've seen of her SM whilst interest in her started because of her family she's maintained a following based on her own personality and as long as she doesn't spill gossip or trade on her family in the book I don't *necessarily* think it's a problem.

A lot of Influencers who have a big following try to turn that into a fluffy lifestyle book and make money so she's not doing anything particularly unusual except her uncle is the King.

Princess Michael of Kent is also the author of several books, both fictional and non-fictional.

I said exactly this and wished her all the best, she is one of so many who try to make money by their followers.

Does she not stand to receive an inheritance from her grandmother?

SLV · #**352** 04-21-2021, 01:05 AM

I don't think that will be enough to live on.
Princess Beatrix has three sons (though one has passed away) and there are eight grandchildren.

The bulk of the Orange-Nassau fortune has been placed into the ownership of legal entities (foundations and trusts), to prevent it from fragmentation due to inheritances and taxes. That means that the Bearer of the Crown has the usufruct of fantastic and valuable properties and the collection remains intact (or is enlarged by additions).

The daughters of Queen Juliana are all well-off. None of them has had a paid job and all of them could lead a fine lifestyle, with several properties in- and outside the Netherlands.

Countess Eloïse and her siblings will eventually receive a nice inheritance but for an example her cousins Luana and Zaria will probably be multi-millionaires once because their late father Prince Friso made very succesful investments.

The same counts for Countess Eloïse's cousins Isabella, Samuel and Benjamin van Vollenhoven: their father Bernhard Jr. is a wealthy businessman which owns lots of property, from a Formula One race track in Zandvoort to the sprawling Media Park in Hilversum, which houses vast media studios and offices. From software developing companies to a real estate portfolio with some 590 properties (of which 350 in Amsterdam).

So the real wealth will be with Princess Beatrix, Princess Irene, Princess Margriet ( "old money" ) and with the widow of Prince Friso and with Bernhard Jr. ( "new money" ). But having said that, Prince Constantijn purchased his current big house in densely populated overpriced The Hague without inscription in the mortgage registers, so he could pay it "cash". No worries about him. ;-)

That sounds interesting. Can someone with access to instagram tell us more about their own business?

Incredible how he has grown, and how much he looks like his mother !

AD article (in Dutch but feel free to use Google Translage about the new book including a reference to her always wearing a ring given by her grandmother for her 10th birthday and a necklace given to her by her godfather and late uncle prince Friso that she always wears.

**Somebody** · #**359** 06-18-2021, 07:27 PM

Interview with Eloise (video, so if you don't speak Dutch it won't help - other than hearing her rather dark voice). Apparently her younger sister is called 'Leo' in the family (we already know that her brother Claus-Casimir goes by Claus).

Exposition Eloise of Orange in Paradiso postponed
https://www.nu.nl/cultuur-overig/614...itgesteld.html

"Due to the growing number of corona infections and the tightened measures, the exhibition of Eloise van Oranje in the Amsterdam pop temple Paradiso has been postponed.

The opening of the exhibition - titled LAYERED*- would take place next Thursday. With the exhibition, the eldest daughter of Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien wants to propagate the message "be yourself unlimited and celebrate your individuality".
