Man Held Over Suspected Plot Against Dutch Princesses to Face Court After Axes, Note Found

A court filing describes engraved axes plus a “bloodbath” note, signaling a shift into open court.

Overview

  • The 33-year-old suspect, detained in The Hague in February, is due in court for a procedural hearing on Monday, May 4.
  • Prosecutors say investigators recovered two axes engraved with “Alexia,” “Mossad,” and “Sieg Heil,” plus a handwritten sheet with “Amalia,” “Alexia,” and “bloodbath.”
  • Officials have not released the suspect’s name or a motive, with Dutch privacy rules limiting public details before the hearing.
  • The alleged targets were Princess Catharina-Amalia, 22, the heir to the throne, and her sister Princess Alexia, 20, according to the scheduling order.
  • The case follows years of threats that forced Amalia to leave student housing in 2022 and spend months in Madrid, curbing normal daily life and tightening royal security at public events.
