The princess recently graduated high school and is taking a gap year before going to a university. She’s not yet sure what she will study but says she is interested in history, economics and law.
Amalia also reveals that she sometimes sees a mental health professional.
“I don’t think it is a taboo. And it’s not a problem to say that in public,” the princess is quoted as saying in the book.
