The RVD does not explain why Amalia is not now a member. In the royal family, membership in the corps is tradition. Her father King Willem-Alexander was a member of the Minerva student corps during his studies in Leiden. Princess Beatrix and Princess Juliana were also members of the Leiden corps.

The eighteen-year-old princess, who is going to study in Amsterdam, previously stated in her biography of Claudia de Breij that she wants to join the corps anyway. “With a year club, all the trimmings.”
–
The princess’s decision comes shortly after a leaked video at the Amsterdamsch Studenten Corps and the Amsterdamsche Vrouwen Studenten Vereeniging (ASC/AVSV), as the corps is called in full. During a dinner for the lustrum of the association, women were called “whores” and “semen buckets” by several men in a speech.
–
One of the speakers was the vice president of the association, who subsequently resigned. The chairman also resigned, because she did not want to continue to bear responsibility for incidents that “exceed her personal boundaries”.
