They are two young future queens who are on the list of 2,200 guests at the coronation reception of King Carlos III.

When there is very little left for Coronation of King Carlos IIIBuckingham Palace is preparing a reception for foreign guests, which will be attended by high-ranking guests and members of the monarchy.

The event will serve as a formal welcome to foreign royals who have come to London for the coronation at Westminster Abbey on Saturday May 6, Tatler said.

Among the distinguished guests at the reception that will take place before the ceremony will be two future queens of Europe: Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands and Princess Elisabeth of Belgium.

The young princesses are part of the guest list of King Carlos, which totals 2,200 attendees, in contrast to the 8,200 who attended the coronation of Isabella II in June 1953, 70 years ago.

This figure would mean that “only two invitations were sent to each foreign monarchy (although there may be some exceptions, for example, with the ancient Greek royal family),” notes Tatler.

Who are the future queens at the coronation of King Carlos III

Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange, is the eldest daughter of King Willem-Alexander and King Máximo. The heir to the throne is 19 years old, she was born on December 7, 2003.

She began studying politics, psychology, law and economics at the University of Amsterdam, but in 2022 she had to live in the royal residence for a while due to alleged threats of assassination attempts.

Earlier this year, Princess Amalia embarked on her parents’ first trip to the Netherlands Antilles in the Caribbean.

Catharina-Amalia will attend a meeting at Buckingham Palace with the former Queen, Princess Beatrix; while the Dutch kings will attend the coronation on Saturday.

On the other hand, Princess Elisabeth, Duchess of Brabant, is 21 years old. She is the eldest daughter of the Belgian kings Felipe and Matilda. He was born on October 21, 2001.

The Duchess of Brabant studies history and politics at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom and is fluent in several languages, Vanitatis reports.

Recently, the young heiress traveled with her mother on an official visit to Egypt, an experience that the Dutch royal house shared on its social networks.

Elisabeth of Belgium will accompany her father to the reception, but at the coronation ceremony of Charles III will be King Philip with Queen Matilda.

Both heirs to the European throne will debut at a royal reception and mingle with other future rulers, including Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and the Prince of Wales, Tatler adds.
