Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands, Princess of Orange-Nassau (Catharina-Amalia Beatrix Carmen Victoria prinses der Nederlanden, prinses van Oranje-Nassau) (born December 7 2003, at the Bronovo Hospital in The Hague), called Amalia, is the first child of Prince Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, the Prince of Orange, the heir apparent to the throne of the Netherlands and Princess Máxima of the Netherlands, his spouse.
By Royal Decree of 25 January 2002, nr. 41 is determined that all children of Prince Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands will bear the title of Prince (Princess) of the Netherlands and Prince (Princess) of Orange-Nassau. Following the tradition, Princess Catharina-Amalia can be styled as De Erfprinses (The Hereditary Princess): she will become the Princess of Orange when her father assumes the kingship.
She is second in line to the Dutch throne, and because the Netherlands is under full lineal primogeniture she will not be replaced in the line of succession by any future children of her parents. So, providing her father and grandmother the Queen predecease her or abdicate correspondingly, she will become Queen of the Netherlands.
Princess Catharina-Amalia lives with her parents and her younger sister Princess Alexia of the Netherlands at Villa 'De Eikenhorst' on the royal estate 'De Horsten' in Wassenaar. She was baptised on June 12, 2004 by Reverend Carel ter Linden in de Grote of St Jacobskerk in The Hague. Her godparents are Prince Constantijn of the Netherlands, Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden, Marc ter Haar, Herman Tjeenk Willink, Samantha van Welderen Baroness Rengers-Deane and Martín Zorreguieta.
