Following her accident, the Dutch Royal Palace confirmed that Catherina-Amalia underwent surgery at the UMC Utrecht.
'The surgery went well,' the palace said in a statement. 'She will remain in the UMC Utrecht for monitoring until tomorrow.'
As a result, the royals were forced to hit the brakes on their busy schedule with several engagements being postponed to a later date.
Among the postponed events is a summer photo session that was scheduled for Thursday at Paleis Huis ten Bosch, the official residence of the Dutch royal family.
The photo session has been rescheduled for June 30 to allow time for the princess's recovery.

Can Finals MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander make the squeak squeak squeak of Converse a force again on the court?
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder celebrates with the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player trophy and his new Converse signature basketball shoe, the SHAI 001, after defeating the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the Finals. (Matthew Stockman / Getty Images) Shai Gilgeous-Alexander puzzled people when he debuted his signature Converse shoe during All-Star weekend. Converse? Where Chuck Taylor retros reside? Sure, Gilgeous-Alexander — known simply as SGA — was a rapidly improving player on a rapidly improving Oklahoma City Thunder team. But him as the face of a fading performance sneaker outfit didn't compute. Advertisement Fast forward to the NBA Finals. Moments after the Thunder's 103-91 Game 7 victory over the Indiana Pacers, SGA ascended the stage to accept his most valuable player trophy with a golden colorway of his signature shoe hanging from his neck. Then on Tuesday, SGA doubled down, enjoying the championship parade with 'Trophy Gold' Converse SHAI 001s on his feet. Who would have thought Oklahoma City would become a flash point of foot fashion. And during Paris Fashion Week no less, when big brands from Nike and New Balance to Adidas and Asics introduce new product lines. Read more: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads OKC to NBA title, and the Clippers must be cringing Advertisement Nothing enhances marketing like winning, and SGA is the undisputed NBA victor of the season. He's the anointed MVP of the regular season as well as the Finals, leading the league in scoring and doing it all with an impish grin and requisite humility. As creative director of Converse, the shoe fits. 'I'm able to essentially do whatever I want to do with the shoe. How it's going to play out, the ball is really in my court,' SGA told Boardroom TV in December. 'It's something that I could imagine every athlete would want to ask for, to try and tell their story and show themselves to the world how they want to do it. To have complete control, it's a blessing.' But can SGA elevate Converse from the bargain rack? His SHAI 001s aren't grandpa's Chuck Taylor All-Stars, those classic shoes of timeless design consisting of a white toe cap over cotton canvas adorned with a distinctive All-Star logo. Advertisement They made a comeback last year when presidential candidate Kamala Harris wore them but Converse recorded year-over-year sales declines of 15% or more in each of the last three fiscal quarters. Chuck Taylor was a semi-pro basketball player and traveling salesman for the Converse Rubber Shoe Company in the early 1920s when he designed the shoe. By the 1950s nearly everyone on a basketball court wore them, but they declined in popularity by the end of the 1970s before enjoying a comeback as nostalgic casual footwear. A few years after going through bankruptcy, Converse was swallowed up by Nike in 2003 for $305 million. So, technically, SGA is just another massively paid shill for Nike, standing in line behind Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Tiger Woods, Selena Williams, Cristiano Ronaldo and Rory McIlroy. But by aligning himself with an all-but-forgotten underdog of a brand, SGA has an opportunity to author a chapter in the signature shoe wars that could rival his already substantial accomplishments on the court. Advertisement There is one problem. The Shai 001 won't be available for sale until the fall. Converse can't capitalize on OKC and SGA fans wanting to rock the golden "butter" footwear of their new hero, and wanting them NOW. Read more: Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton latest to succumb to torn Achilles during NBA playoffs A limited release, at least, did take place in downtown Oklahoma City for two hours Tuesday before the parade. Aligning with a current player always involves an element of risk for a shoe company. Converse learned this firsthand in 1997 when it dropped Latrell Sprewell as an endorser and spokesman after the NBA star choked coach P.J. Carlesimo during a Golden State Warriors practice. Advertisement And the risk isn't always about misbehavior. Puma unveiled the Hali 1, its first shoe in collaboration with the Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton on the day this year's NBA Finals began. Haliburton tore an Achilles tendon in Game 7 and will miss most, if not all, of next season. So Converse must continue to be quick on its feet to capitalize on its so far fortunate choice of SGA to represent the brand. He's only 26 and displays leadership and other qualities of a role model in addition to otherworldly hoop skills. Can Converse become relevant again in the performance space? Can SGA become as linked to the brand as Chuck Taylor? First the shoes must hit the market. One step at a time. "I wanted to create something new," SGA told Boardroom TV. "I wanted to bring Converse into my world and have Converse through my lens.'
