AMSTERDAM, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Dutch Crown Princess
Catharina-Amalia is under heightened security due to concern
that she could be targeted by criminals, ANP News reported on
Thursday, citing her parents.
King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima are visiting Sweden.
Amalia, 18 and heir to the throne, began studying at the
University of Amsterdam this year.
The Dutch press agency cited Maxima as saying at a press
briefing that concerns for Amalia's safety had prevented her
from living in Amsterdam as she had originally planned.
"The consequences are very difficult for her," ANP quoted
Maxima as saying. "There is no student life for her like others
have."
Dutch police and the country's secret service have declined
to discuss security arrangements around the Royal House.
