The teenage heir to the Dutch throne has been forced to give up on Amsterdam’s student life and live instead at her parents’ palace, the latest indication of just how much of a threat organised crime poses to Dutch society.

Queen Maxima said her eldest daughter, Amalia, “can’t leave home” and that this has “enormous consequences for her life”.
