Future Netherlands Queen Refuses To Accept $2 Million Annual Allowance
#Socialites check this out. The next in line to be the Queen of Netherlands, Princess Amalia, is turning down a whopping $2 million allowance that she is entitled to receive every year, once she turns 18.
According to Vanity Fair, the Princess will turn 18 in December where she will be given the allowance until she officially becomes Queen.
She wrote a letter to Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte about her decision and wanting to give back to her country,
“On 7 December 2021 I will be 18 and, according to the law, receive an allowance. I find tha\t uncomfortable as long as I do not do anything for it in return, and while other students have a much tougher time of it, particularly in this period of coronavirus.”
“I still want to learn, but just not at school, although I have enjoyed it for the past fourteen years,” she told Netherland News Live. “I want to travel a little, discover the world, do things that I may not be able to do in twenty years’ time.”
