Princess Alexia of the Netherlands, Princess of Orange-Nassau (Alexia Juliana Marcela Laurentien; born 26 June 2005)[1] is the second daughter of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima. Princess Alexia is a member of the Dutch royal house and second in the line of succession to the Dutch throne.[2]
Princess Alexia was born on 26 June 2005 at HMC Bronovo in The Hague as the second child of Willem-Alexander, then Prince of Orange, and his wife, Máxima.[3] The infant's paternal uncle Prince Friso and maternal uncle Juan Zorreguieta, the then still Duchess of Brabant Queen Mathilde of Belgium, Jonkvrouw Alexandra Jankovich de Jeszenice, and Jonkheer Frans Ferdinand de Beaufort stood as godparents at baptism by Reverend Deodaat van der Boon on 19 November 2005 in the Dorpskerk in Wassenaar.[4]
Princess Alexia attended the public primary school Bloemcampschool in Wassenaar.[5] She attended secondary school at the Christelijk Gymnasium Sorghvliet in The Hague from 2017 to 2021.[4][6] Beginning in August 2021, she continued her secondary education at the United World College of the Atlantic in Wales, where her father was also a student.[7][8] She graduated, having passed the International Baccalaureat, in 2023.[9] Alexia speaks Dutch, English, and Spanish.[10]
In February 2016, while on a skiing holiday with her family in Austria, Princess Alexia broke her right femur. She was transported via helicopter to a local hospital and had surgery to repair the injury. After a few days in the hospital she was released and required the use of crutches while she healed.[11] Updates on Princess Alexia's condition were posted on the official website of the Dutch monarchy. The accident occurred in the same area as the avalanche which resulted in eventually fatal injuries to her paternal uncle and godfather, Prince Friso, in February 2012.
Alexia's full title and style is "Her Royal Highness Princess Alexia of the Netherlands, Princess of Orange-Nassau".
