The Dutch princess Alexia, the middle daughter of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima, is currently studying at Atlantic College in Wales. In addition to learning, there is also time to party on the canal, according to a photo of a made-up royal. That image appeared on a Dutch site last weekend, but that is actually strictly forbidden…

Riot at our northern neighbors, because the media code has been violated there. This means that no private photos of members of the royal family may appear. Never. Nowhere. To protect their lives well from the outside world. The website This and that broke the rule and posted an unofficial photo online of a partying princess Alexia in Wales, where our crown princess also went to school. In the image, the 16-year-old royal is wearing a crimson lace body and a black mini skirt. “Amalia goes wild at new school”, reads the accompanying headline.
It is currently unknown what the consequences will be for the site. According to other Dutch media, it is likely that the Government Information Service (RVD), the government body that deals with information about the Royal House, will still reprimand the editors. A possible consequence of the publication could be that journalists who did not respect the media code are no longer welcome at (photo) occasions that are official.
It’s not the first time the media code has been broken. In 2015, a photo of King Willem-Alexander and his daughters Amalia and Alexia appeared during a dinner at McDonald’s. The image was taken by the Dutch journalist Kamran Ullah and disappeared shortly after. In the meantime, other foreign media had already distributed the snapshot. A little more recently – last year – became RTL Boulevard called to account by the RVD. After the broadcast, a photo of Princess Amalia was shown in a Christmas musical, which was taken from the Instagram account of the Koninklijke Schouwburg The Hague.
