Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange, is the heir to the Dutch throne. The royal, whose parents are King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of The Netherlands, is currently in hospital following a "horror horse accident" necessitated surgery, per the Express. The future queen of the Netherlands will hopefully make a full recovery, but she is being "monitored" carefully.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess of Orange underwent surgery on Tuesday evening, June 10, for a fracture in her upper arm," a statement on the Dutch Royal Family's website explained. "The surgery went well. She will remain in the UMC Utrecht for monitoring until tomorrow. "

"She will not be present at the CGAP congress in Amsterdam," the statement explained. "In addition, His Majesty The King will be present at the opening of the Holland Festival without Queen Máxima."
Princess Catharina-Amalia was involved in a horseback riding accident.
