The cyberbullying after kings day was mentioned in most press and happened mainly on twitter, where people spoke about 'prinses Obesia' and made other nasty comments.

Unless Amaila was being physically attacked, I doubt that her bodyguards could do much. It would be up to her teachers and the administration to stop any bullying while at school.
"Prinses Obesia"...that's so unnecessary.

No need to say it or twitter it but I am sure almost everyone looking to the Princess will think " hm... she has her daddy's genes...". She is the Princess of Orange, the future Queen of the Netherlands no one asked for but have to accept (and pay) and yes, then people feel they are entitled to have an opinion about her...

Well, the Oranjes were never small or dainty people physically, in that aspect they are like most dutch people  and Amalia takes after her dad and ancestors in that aspect.
I'm sure the girls learn to deal with social media from an early age, because let's face it, the things that are occassionally written even on TRF (which is monitored) are staggering, let alone open boards like twitter...

Now you mention it.
If I were to describe an archetypical Dutch girl it would be Alexia.
Blondish, freckles, fair-skinned and a glimpse in the eyes. - All she needs are wooden shoes and braids and she could appear in any tourist brochure about the Netherlands.

imo Alexia is the one who looks most like her mom 
(I don't think she'd put up with braids in her hair, i could just see her with a "i'm not amused" look )
But Maxima is tall too (maybe just a tad bid less "well filled", as it is called in my family, than the Oranjes), so all three of these girls are surely going to be among the tallest european royals when they are adults

I have the idea that Princess Amalia will become a beauty. I have seen so many Dutch teenage / adolescent girls changing in quite attractive young ladies. When you see class-albums from girls in the "brugklas" (the first year) and then see the same girls when they leave the Gymnasium 6 years later... the difference is often beyond belief.

It is, but she'll have to learn to live with it. As a public figure, let alone in the very privileged position the princesses are in, you cannot stop people from having an opinion about you. WA still has to live with the 'Prins Pilsje' from 30 years ago.
I can easily understand that the girls don't enjoy the photoshoot but again, they will have to deal with the press for the rest of their lives, some more, some less, for various reasons. Alexia seems to be the most exciting of the 3 meaning she resembles Maxima the most and will be most interesting for photographers, Amalia will be Queen, that's different.

That is true Duc, but I would hope that people would take into consideration that she's an adolescent so it will be a few years until she reaches her adult height/weight. I'm inclined to think that in the future she will have her parents' taller than average height.

Indeed she and her sisters have to learn to live with it. However, these early teenage years may not be the best years to be exposed to the open sewer system on social media and I certainly hope she won't see/read the worst. She did not choose to be born in this position.
When a co-student made a remark that princess Juliana's legs weren't exactly thin, the princess replied that they had a lot of weight to carry: 'the entire house of Orange is resting on them'. Let's hope that the crown princess will take after her great-grandmother in that respect and will take such comments lightly. The princess seems clever, cheerful, sociable and sensible, which IMHO is far more important for her future role. IMHO it is not thr role of a royal to be a beauty queen and wear Parisian haute couture all the time. This could actually degrade the monarchy.

Nasty remarks about anyone's shape, face, chin is really a reflection on the person making them, not the receiver. Unless they have the temperament of Princess Anne in her youth, who could tell reporters and anyone else off in the bat of an eye, young royals just must develop a thick skin. Awful to admit but true. People will always be nasty and use words that are unnecessary when proving a point. One can say arms are athletic and toned not mannish and unfeminine like they did to Michelle Obama, etc. It is the wording that makes the sender sound jealous and vindictive and would hurt the feeling of the receiver [if they gave a fig]. I personally think that the three Dutch Princesses will do just fine as they are loved by family and citizens alike. My young favorite of the three is the youngest as I love the sweet glint in her eyes and also she looks comfortable in herself at such a young age in that situation. I will personally follow her life in years to come and just feel she will come up aces and most levelheaded.

The corridor where they are posing (Spriet) is the worst part for a sailboat as it is narrow and usually not too much wind. It is located close to Huys te Warmont, which used to belong to the counts of Wassenaer and later to a branch of the Limburg-Stirum family. The castle is now divided in apartments. The former minister of Justice lives in one of them.
Nice that they found a different location than the usual beach/dunes or Horsten. But let's hope that next year's photographs can be taken at the new gardens of Huis ten Bosch.

I like the casual nature of the photo session - nothing seems forced or overdone.
The three girls are really growing up. They look lovely. Amalia seems like she's going to be a very tall girl.
