Dutch authorities arrested a 33-year-old man suspected of plotting to kill Princesses Catharina-Amalia and Alexia, with evidence including axes engraved with Nazi and Mossad references and a note mentioning a "bloodbath." The suspect is linked to far-right extremist ideology, and investigations suggest a broader neo-Nazi plot targeting the royal family.
