The designer and fashion colleagues talk about the crown princess in Justine Marcella’s new book about Amalia.
In a few days, Princess Amalia will turn 21 years old. Since she celebrated her eighteenth birthday during corona times, you would expect that she would receive a nice gala for this new milestone, to which the crown colleagues are also welcome, à la the festivities of Crown Prince Christian and Princess Ingrid Alexandra. It is still very quiet on that front, but there is commotion elsewhere.
Amalia in words and images
For example, royal expert Justine Marcella has written ‘the first biography’ about Amalia, with a lot of looking and reading about her life so far. Fashion experts also speak and shed light on the princess’s style. Like couturier Paul Schulten.
Paul Schulten about Amalia
“I have a soft spot for Amalia and I think she’s cool,” he says. ‘I’m annoyed by all the rubbish she has to deal with, but unfortunately that’s the time. She has been placed in this position and has to find her own way in it. That’s a struggle. Also in the field of fashion.

But I am very positive. Amalia’s style is evolving. I think it’s a good policy not to dress her too formally. So when I see her wearing a loose jacket, loose over the shoulders, I applaud it.

At the photo session in late 2023, she wore an oxblood red coat with sneakers underneath. What she does, she does very well! But it needs to be more fine-tuned. That coat becomes trendier when it is worn open and I think Amalia can put her hands in her pockets for a modern look. Tip: stand in front of the mirror and photograph yourself. Then you know how best to pose in the clothes you are wearing. For a princess with so many cameras focused on this, this is a must!’

He thinks she is “a beautiful thing to look at: ‘She also has everything: she has height, a beautiful face and beautiful hair. I kind of miss that classic with a youthful twist! Wear Chanel with tight jeans and pick up a beautiful Chanel bag from your mother’s closet with good pumps! Amalia would also look great in a beautiful tuxedo from Yves Saint Laurent if she combines it with a good pair of heels and earrings.’

The designer and fashion colleagues share their insights on Crown Princess Amalia in Justine Marcella’s newly released biography.
In just a few days, Princess Amalia will celebrate her momentous 21st birthday. Unlike her 18th birthday, which was overshadowed by the COVID-19 pandemic, many anticipated a grand gala to mark this significant occasion, reminiscent of the celebratory events for Crown Prince Christian and Princess Ingrid Alexandra. However, despite the expectations, there has been a surprising lack of announcements regarding such festivities, leaving fans speculating about possible plans.
A Glimpse into Amalia’s Life
In the fascinating biography titled ‘Amalia,’ royal expert Justine Marcella delves into the princess’s life so far, providing a comprehensive look at her journey. Fashionistas and experts are also weighing in, offering their perspectives on the evolving style of the young royal.
Insights from Couturier Paul Schulten
Renowned couturier Paul Schulten expressed, “I have a soft spot for Amalia and I think she’s incredibly cool.” He acknowledges the challenges she faces and adds, “I’m annoyed by all the rubbish she has to deal with, but unfortunately, that’s the time we live in. She has been placed in this position and has to find her own way in it; that’s a struggle that extends to her fashion choices as well.

Schulten remains optimistic about her fashion evolution, commenting that it’s wise not to overly formalize her attire. He appreciates her recent choice of a loosely styled jacket worn over her shoulders, stating, “I applaud it.”

During a captivating photo session in late 2023, Amalia showcased a stylish oxblood red coat paired with trendy sneakers. Schulten praised her fashion prowess, suggesting it could be improved with a few adjustments. “That coat becomes trendier when it’s worn open, and I think Amalia should consider casually putting her hands in her pockets for a more contemporary look,” he advised. “A tip for her would be to stand in front of the mirror and snap a few photos; that way, she can learn how to pose with the outfits she wears. Given the numerous cameras focused on her, this practice is essential!”
