The suspect was allegedly in possession of two axes in early February with the words ‘Alexia’, ‘Mossad’, and ‘Sieg Heil’ carved into them.

A 33-year-old man accused of plotting a possible attack on members of the Dutch royal family is set to appear before a court in the Netherlands on Monday, May 4, according to prosecutors.

Authorities allege that the suspect had been planning to target Catharina-Amalia, the 22-year-old heir to the throne, and her younger sister Alexia of the Netherlands, who is 20. During the investigation, officials reportedly discovered axes in his possession.

Both princesses are daughters of Willem-Alexander and Máxima, and are among the most prominent members of the royal family.

Man Was Preparing An Attack In February

According to a court scheduling order published on the website of The Hague Public Prosecutor’s Office, the man is suspected of preparing an attack in February in The Hague targeting 22-year-old Amalia, Princess of Orange, and her 20-year-old sister, Princess Alexia.

“The suspect was allegedly in possession of two axes in early February with the words ‘Alexia’, ‘Mossad’, and ‘Sieg Heil’ carved into them, and he allegedly had a handwritten sheet with the words ‘Amalia’, ‘Alexia’, and ‘Bloodbath,’" the order cited by AP reads.

A spokesman for The Hague public prosecutor’s office declined to provide further details ahead of Monday’s procedural hearing. It remains unclear where or when the suspect was arrested. His name has not been released, in line with Dutch privacy regulations.

Princess Amalia has previously faced serious threats. In 2022, she was forced to abandon her student life in Amsterdam and return to live at her parents’ palace due to threats believed to have originated from the criminal underworld. At the time, Queen Maxima said her daughter “can’t leave home" and that the situation had “enormous consequences for her life."

Amalia later spent several months living in Madrid and subsequently paid tribute to the city and its residents for their hospitality by opening a tulip garden there.
