Dutch Palace Gives Update on Princess Catharina-Amalia's Surgery After Future Queen's Horseback Riding Incident
The future queen broke her arm in the accident
The hospitalization resulted in a few changes in the Dutch royal family's schedule
Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands is continuing her hospital stay after a horseback riding accident and undergoing surgery for a broken arm.
The Dutch palace issued an update about the future queen on Wednesday, June 11, stating that the 21-year-old daughter of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima underwent surgery the previous day for a "fracture in her upper arm."
"The surgery went well," the palace said in the statement. "She will remain in the UMC Utrecht for monitoring until tomorrow."
The Princess of Orange's injury also caused a few changes in the royal schedule, according to the new update. A summer photo session that was set for June 12 at the Paleis Huis ten Bosch was postponed until June 30 due to Princess Catharina-Amalia's hospitalization.
In addition, Queen Maxima will miss her scheduled appearance at the CGAP congress in Amsterdam on June 11. King Willem-Alexander will carry on his outing at the opening of the Holland Festival, but he will appear without his wife.
On June 10, the palace revealed that the heir to the Dutch throne had fallen from her horse, resulting in a broken arm that required surgery. Princess Amalia's equestrian hobby is a longtime passion, with the palace's official website featuring photos of her riding her horse, Mojito.
The U.K.'s Princess Anne was also involved in a horse-related injury just last year. In June 2024, King Charles' sister, 74, was hospitalized with a concussion believed to be caused by an impact with a horse at her home on the Gatcombe Park estate.
One month later, Princess Anne — who competed in equestrian events at the Olympics in 1976 — said she could not remember "a single thing" about the incident.

Recalling the incident during a visit to South Africa in January, the Princess Royal said that the experience taught her that "every day is a bonus," according to the BBC.
'It just reminds you, shows you — you never quite know, something [happens] and you might not recover,' she said. 'You're jolly lucky...if you can continue to be more or less compos mentis [of sound mind], and last summer I was very close to not being. Take each day as it comes, they say."
Princess Anne is expected to join her family at Trooping the Colour on Saturday, June 14,and is expected to ride on horseback alongside Prince William and Prince Edward.

‘Christian Girl Autumn' influencer says she needs a break from making content — but then shocks fans with a ‘plot twist'
She said, 'See ya, fall.' Caitlin Covington — the influencer hailed as the face of 'Christian Girl Autumn' — shocked fans with a tearful TikTok last night announcing she'd be skipping this year's leaf-peeping content due to the immense pressure she feels. The 34-year-old dramatically declared through tears, 'I'm not going to be able to post fall videos this year.' Advertisement 'It's just a lot of pressure to make each video better than the last — to make each fall better. And I just really need a break this year.' @cmcoving This is the hardest post I've ever had to make 💔 will post another update soon… ♬ original sound – @cmcoving Fans of hers were shocked to learn this because Covington has become their go-to inspo for all things fall — outfits, activities and where to get the best pumpkin spice latte. Advertisement Covington first began chronicling her fall obsession as a college student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, but she skyrocketed to viral fame in 2019 after the X (formerly Twitter) account Blizzy McGuire posted a photo of her and a friend in fall foliage with the caption: 'Hot Girl Summer is coming to an end, get ready for Christian Girl Autumn,' as explained by People. Now, people look to the content creator as the unofficial face of the fall season. But less than 24 hours after she posted her confessional video, Covington flipped the script and posted another video of herself — this time, there weren't any tears in sight as she was joyfully tossing leaves in the air with text overlay on the video that read, 'Plot twist: I would NEVER cancel fall.' @cmcoving Plot twist: I would NEVER cancel fall 🍁🍂 Thank you for all your support, I was truly not expecting that response – your kindness honestly blew me away. Love y'all. 🥹 P.S. Consider this the official fall launch ♬ ladies and gentlemen HER – ♱ gracie ♱ Advertisement After her original, tear-filled clip racked up millions of views and thousands of comments, Covington thanked her fans in the caption of the happy video: 'Thank you for all your support, I was truly not expecting that response – your kindness honestly blew me away. Love y'all. P.S. Consider this the official fall launch.' Covington confessed to People that the seasonal spotlight can be overwhelming. 'I do feel pressure, especially during fall, because I feel like everyone looks to me for fall content,' she told the outlet last year, noting that she begins planning her fall content months in advance, from scouting bookstores and coffee shops to curating perfectly coordinated family outfits. After her tearful August 19 clip blew up with millions of views and thousands of comments, Covington took to TikTok the next day to thank fans. Caitlin Covington / Instagram Advertisement The fall guru's following seemed to understand where she was coming from in her sob-filled post — as they showered Covington with love and reassurance. 'We love you in all seasons! You deserve to rest, girl autumn,' one wrote. Another chimed in, 'Your previous content is TIMELESS. We don't need anything new from you! … We just want to see you in joy. I hope you find peace during this break.' Covington's teased hiatus didn't just affect her fans — it was also expected to shake up the fall influencer scene that's already been wreaking havoc in New England. As The Post previously reported, the foliage-filled wilderness of Lincoln, New Hampshire, has been overrun with tourists and 'Christian Girl Autumn' copycats to the point of creating rush hour–like gridlock on mountain trails. What began as a college hobby at UNC turned full-blown obsession in 2019, when X user Blizzy McGuire immortalized Covington and a friend amid a sea of autumn leaves. Caitlin Covington / Instagram Last October, seasoned hiker Tamara Breau described the Artists Bluff Trail in New Hampshire as both 'dangerous' and disgusting, documenting the nightmare on social media. Like Midtown during rush hour, she said the trail's summit was jammed with 'bottlenecking.' Advertisement Local officials told WMUR that several rescues had to be carried out that same weekend on nearby Cannon Mountain. Conservation officers also complained that out-of-towners ignored higher-elevation climate shifts, putting themselves — and first responders — at risk. And New Hampshire isn't alone. As The Post reported in 2023, fed-up residents of Pomfret, Vermont, actually shut down Cloudland Road during peak foliage season to keep out the swarm of influencers clogging up the town. Locals say wannabe autumn stars have spent years trespassing, flying drones, parking cars in ditches, and blocking narrow dirt roads so badly that even ambulances couldn't get through.

Denise Richards Files to Vacate Aaron Phypers and Family from Home, Claims They're Being Evicted After He Failed to Pay Rent
The Aug. 19 filing comes after police responded to an incident at the Calabasas home earlier this month NEED TO KNOW Denise Richards filed new court documents on Tuesday, Aug. 19, asking a judge to order her ex Aaron Phypers and his family to vacate her Calabasas home She claims that they are being evicted after Phypers stopped paying rent and she needs to retrieve her property and her dogs Richards previously accused Phypers, who filed for divorce in July, of physical abuse and obtained a temporary restraining order against him Denise Richards is making another attempt to access the home she shared with her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, amid their messy divorce. According to documents obtained by PEOPLE, the actress, 54, is requesting that the court order Phypers, 52, and his family to vacate her Calabasas property, which he currently resides in with his parents and brother, so she can retrieve her dogs and belongings without violating the temporary restraining order they have in place. Richards claims that, although she and Phypers are both named on the lease, she moved out two years ago under the guise that his family would only be living there temporarily. The Wild Things star further claims that she told Phypers he would be solely responsible for the rent in January when they were still occupying the house, and that she was allegedly told 'several times' they would be leaving. PEOPLE has reached out to Phypers' rep for comment. Richards claims she was notified on July 24 that eviction proceedings would begin on Aug. 23. Per the filing, the landlord informed Richards that he has made several attempts to contact Phypers due to unpaid rent but has been unable to reach him, resulting in an eviction. 'I left many of my personal items and my late mother's items at the house based on Aaron telling me that his family would be moving back to Canada and we would be moving back into the [property],' she alleges in the complaint. 'If I am not able to [retrieve] my dogs and belongings, I believe my dogs will be harmed and my property destroyed or discarded during the eviction process.' The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum further alleges that 'Aaron and his parents and brother have severely damaged' the home, leaving it 'in a state of disarray.' Images attached as evidence reveal patches of removed flooring, as well as several boxes, articles of clothing and papers scattered throughout the rooms. 'I was shocked at the condition of the home, having not lived there for over two years,' Richards wrote in the docs. Richards, who has a restraining order against Phypers amid allegations of domestic violence, also referred to the Aug. 3 incident in which the police were called to the Calabasas property. PEOPLE previously reported that Richards went to the house — allegedly under the impression that Phypers was not there — so she could 'retrieve her dogs after learning that Mr. Phypers had put down one of her other dogs without her knowledge or permission,' her attorney said at the time. A source close to Phypers previously told PEOPLE this is '100 percent, absolutely false,' and went on to allege that Richards was screaming and banging on the door of the home to get inside. When Phypers heard her, he left through a side door, the source said. Phypers told PEOPLE that he put the dog down because she had cancer and alleged that 'Denise hasn't interacted with the animals in two years.' However, she claims in the recent filing that she only temporarily left the dogs there in May when she was getting surgery. The Lost Hills Sheriff's Department stated at the time that they 'did not have any evidence that a crime occurred," but PEOPLE confirmed that Phypers was on the property when Richards stopped by. In her latest request, Richards offers an explanation for the incident. 'While I was attempting to leave the [property], Aaron's brother blocked me from leaving and placed blocks under the tire[s] of my vehicle so that I could not move my car,' she alleges in the papers. 'Aaron's mother let me in the house and then Aaron's parents interfered with me trying to leave the [property]. Aaron's mother called Aaron and told him to come back to the [property] while I was there, which would have been a violation of the TRO.' She also claims she has made multiple attempts to resolve the matter without court intervention. Richards states that she "will have no way of retrieving my dogs and belongings in a safe manner that ensures Aaron and his family do not come near me or harm me' without a court order. Additionally, Richards asks that there be 'no recording or listening devices in or around' the property when she is there.

Phypers filed for divorce from Richards in July following six years of marriage. The following week, she claimed that he 'repeatedly abused" her throughout their relationship, which he has denied. "Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom towel rack, threaten to kill me, hold me down with his knee on my back to the point where I would have to plead with him to get off me so that he would not kill me and hack into my laptop and phone and download all of my text messages," Richards alleged in court documents obtained by PEOPLE. 'Aaron regularly threatened to 'break my jaw' and would cry, beg me to stay, and promise to get help — none of which ever happened,' she continued, adding that Phypers allegedly 'has caused me at least three concussions.' For his part, Phypers said of the claims: "Let me be unequivocally clear: I have never physically or emotionally abused Denise — or anyone. These accusations are completely false and deeply hurtful. Denise and I, like many couples, have faced our share of challenges, but any suggestion of abuse is categorically untrue." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Nickelodeon Star Reveals Alleged Maternal Abuse
True Jackson V.P. actor Ashley Argota Torres is opening up about the alleged "physical, emotional, and financial abuse" she faced from her mother while filming the show, and shortly after. During a recent interview with People, the former Nickelodeon child star spoke candidly about struggling behind the scenes, detailing the way her mother allegedly tried to control her every move. "I'm a mom now, so I feel like I have a new perspective and a new outlook on everything," said Ashley, who shares 13-month-old son Michael with husband Mick Torres. "I would never do to my son what my mom did to me." Ashley said her mom's abuse took a new turn when she started filming the popular 2008 teen series, especially when she began to make friends with cast members and others in the industry. "I was starting to make friends and getting close to my cast, so I think she felt her control and her manipulation starting to slip." If she got invited to birthday parties or to hang out with friends, she claims her mother would insist on going with her or waiting in the car. Ashley claims her mother would also frequently criticize her physical appearance: "I would have to sit there and pinch the bridge of my nose all the time because she was like, 'Your nose is too flat, so you need to pinch your nose to make sure it's not flat.'" Ashley recalled earning "a lot of money" from True Jackson V.P., but she claims she never knew how much money she actually made because her mother had full and total control of her finances, including her Coogan account (an account specifically created to protect child performers' earnings). "No matter how much was put away in my Coogan account, she would've spent it. I don't know where that Coogan money went. I was 15, so I totally trusted her with all of the finances. She would say, 'All right, this is the bill, and this is how much you're going to input into the computer, and this is what we're going to pay,' but I never knew how much was on my accounts." As her time on the show came to an end, Ashley got accepted into NYU. She remembered having to sign up for a dorm assignment in secret because her mother told her she could only live at home or with family. Her time at college was the "greatest thing ever" for her because even though her mother would constantly check in, she felt relieved knowing her mom wasn't physically around. But while she was at NYU, Ashley claims her mother decided to buy a new home in LA using Ashley's money. "I just got this video of her with the key to the new house," she said. Then when she returned home during break after her first year in school, she received a letter from her mom saying they couldn't afford to send her back for her sophomore year. "She wrote me a letter that she left in my room that said, 'We don't have enough money. You're not going back to school. You're going to stay home.' We never spoke about it again." But it didn't stop there. There was also an alleged incident that involved Ashley's mom going through her text messages while Ashley was in the shower. Her mom read texts she'd been sending to a co-star she went on a date with from the Romeo & Juliet: Love Is A Battlefield cast. Ashley claims her mother then made her strip, so she could examine her body. "When I got home, she told me to come to her room, and I did, and she asked me to take off the cardigan I was wearing," Ashley added. "I said, 'Why?' She said, 'Because I need to see what he did to you.' I was like, 'Whoa, what? I just went to the movies with him.'" "Then she kept telling me to take off the tank top," she claims. "I was like, 'I'm not going to do that.' She was like, 'You have to quit the show.' I said, 'I'm not going to quit the show. It's not going to happen.' "Out of nowhere, she lunged for me," she continued. "She choked me, she attacked me. It gave me a vocal node, because she had come at me so aggressively. I'd never had a vocal problem in my life until that happened. In that moment I was like, 'I don't know if having a relationship with her is the right thing anymore.'" Ashley left her family home at age 22 and never looked back. Although she revealed she's heard from her mom several times, "usually when something is going well in my life," her mom has not met her son or husband, and she plans to continue "no contact" moving forward. "In addition to blocking my mom, I've had to block my brother's number as well, because she takes his phone," Ashley added. "It's difficult, and I wish things were different there. I hope one day we can have a relationship. I feel like he was caught in the crossfire, and he doesn't deserve that." "My life is so enriched by all of my chosen family. I have so many people around me who really do show us unconditional love. Motherhood has been so healing for me. I mean, down to the features that Michael has of mine, like my nose, I'm like, 'Man, you're so cute. Why did she ever tell me to pinch my nose?'"
