Life
Princess Alexia was born in the Bronovo Hospital in The Hague. Her baptism took place on 19 November 2005 in Wassenaar. Alexia's godparents are: her paternal uncle, the late Prince Friso of Orange-Nassau; her maternal uncle, Juan Zorreguieta; Queen Mathilde of Belgium (then Duchess of Brabant); Jonkvrouwe Alexandra Jankovich de Jeszenice; and Jonkheer Frans Ferdinand de Beaufort.
Alexia has an elder sister, Catharina-Amalia, The Princess of Orange, and a younger sister, Ariane.
She speaks Dutch, English and some Spanish.[3]
In February 2016, while on a skiing holiday with her family in Austria, Princess Alexia broke her right femur (thigh bone). She was transported via helicopter to a local hospital and had surgery to repair the injury. After a few days in hospital she was released and will require the use of crutches while she heals. Updates on Princess Alexia's condition have been posted on the official website of the Dutch monarchy. The accident occurred in the same area as the avalanche which injured her godfather & paternal uncle, Prince Friso, in February 2012. The prince suffered severe brain damage as a result and died in August 2013.
