‘I am constantly aware of that and I would like to get rid of that feeling.’
Since the moment Eloise van Oranje made her Instagram account public, she has become a real count influencer. With no fewer than 432,000 followers, it is not surprising that the Orange scion is recognized everywhere and nowhere. And that is precisely the reason why Eloise will soon be leaving for New York for six months.
Well-known surname
Eloise now knows better than anyone how much attention you receive as a royal and an influencer. She longs for a bit of anonymity and will therefore soon fly to New York to do an internship there for six months. “I don’t want to make a big deal of it, but yes, I do have the feeling that there are a lot of eyes on me,” Eloise tells LINDA.meiden. According to Elo, there is an ‘irritating amount’ of what she does and people also think ‘all kinds of things’ about it.
In addition, Eloise often hears that she owes a lot to her famous surname. But according to the countess, that is not entirely true. “I’m not going to say that I did it all myself, but in the end you have to do it yourself,” she says. “If I was a bitch, no one would follow me.”
Feeling of being recognized
Although Eloise has chosen to share her life publicly, she admits that she sometimes finds it quite difficult to be recognized everywhere. For example, she goes out less because photos are constantly being taken of her when she goes out. “On the street it is logical for people to tap each other. If someone stares longer, I find it uncomfortable,” she says. “Then I think: do you recognize me? I am constantly aware of that and I would like to get rid of that feeling.” And to get rid of that feeling, the young royal goes to the Big Apple for six months.
In the footsteps of Máxima
It will happen in 2024: Eloise will do an internship abroad for six months. Moreover, Elo is following in the footsteps of her aunt Máxima. “I can not wait. Not that I see myself as someone important, more that no one knows me,” said the countess. She does not reveal at which company Eloise will do an internship. And we understand that all too well, because otherwise anonymity in New York would also be short-lived. Good luck, Elo!
