Princess Amalia opens Aachen FEI Championships

Entities: Zara Tindall · Aachen, Germany · Princess Amalia of the Netherlands · Aachen · Princess Catharina‑Amalia of the Netherlands

Overview

Princess Catharina‑Amalia of the Netherlands will officially open the FEI World Riding Championships in Aachen on 11 August 2026, giving the start signal in a ceremony that blends sport, tradition and culture. The opening features a parade of nations, live music, an elaborate audiovisual production and more than 250 horses. Historic 19th‑century carriages—including the Dutch “Crème Calèche” and others from Denmark and the United Kingdom—will be displayed, echoing Amalia’s earlier appearance on horseback with her horse Mojito. Zara Tindall of the United Kingdom and Spain’s Infanta Elena will also have prominent roles, highlighting the event’s cultural‑diplomatic dimension.

The ceremony, held at Allianz Park, will see Princess Amalia signal the start alongside British Olympic equestrian Zara Tindall and Infanta Elena. Historic royal carriages from the Netherlands, Denmark, the United Kingdom and Spain, drawn by warm‑blood horses, will underscore the shared equine heritage of the three dynasties. The championships will showcase show‑jumping and eventing, bringing together elite athletes and high‑profile royals, and continue to be viewed as a multi‑layered experience ecosystem that supports regional economic growth and cross‑industry collaboration.
