Princess Catharina-Amalia appeared with her arm in a sling as she was seen for the first time since her horse riding accident.
The Dutch royal, 21, joined her father, King Willem-Alexander, 58, at the presentation of a new standard to the Princess Catharina-Amalia Hussar Regiment at the Prince Bernhard Barracks in Amersfoort on Wednesday.
Her appearance comes just eight days after she underwent surgery at UMC Utrecht after suffering a fracture in her upper arm.
Catharina-Amalia was discharged two days after being admitted to hospital.
