Document about the orders.
The announcement is there on the Dutch Royal House site
Document about the orders.
The Palace today shared a video of Princess Alexia raising the flag at Huis ten Bosch Palace following her successful graduation.

The Academic year starts earlier than here in Ireland, which is normally runs from the second Monday in September to the second Friday in May.
Wishing the Princess the very best with her studies.
That's a really short year. Do students in secondary school have 4 months of summer holidays?
I know that the Netherlands (not applicable to UWI of course) has really short summer holidays (6 weeks) - but about 2 - 2 1/2 months seems quite common.
It doesn't say that it is her first day at school. The accompanying text states 'arrived in Italy'. So, I guess she will start next week but students were invited to arrive this weekend?!
Yes I thought so too and was the Student Induction ahead of the start of Semester one.This sounds like a "welcome weekend" for the incoming students. They can move in to their dormitories and have some time to get to know each other before classes begin.
Thanks for the clarification, so tertiary education does have a very long summer break (like several other countries) but not secondary education. I still wonder why they only use 7 months of the year... and include 5 months of breaks (1 month around Christmas and 4 months in summer). They could easily reduce the number of years by using more months of the year.No secondary schools here finish mid June and return 1st Monday in September.
Mid Term falls around Halloween as we have a late October public holiday.
Christmas 2-3 weeks
Spring Mid Term 1 week
Easter -2 weeks
3rd level finish in mid May (College/University) and return in.mid September.
No mid Term but 3-4 weeks at Christmas (Mid December to mid January)
2 weeks for Easter.
The Academic year flies,hopefully Princess Ariane won't feel it till the Christmas holidays!
I feel better.
Her first solo. That's always something to look forward to.
But the bad jokes are lining up! I really, really have to beat myself over the knuckles in order not to type them. ?
So basically, one could say that in terms of solo events, or debuts, this... sucks?
(Sorry, Alexia. I'm sure your presence will be enlivening.)
Often when royal women christen ships they receive a gift from the company that owns the ship. In the past some have even received tiaras. I wonder if Alexia will receive something of substance.
