Annemarie took her final exam in French at the Université de Strasbourg (France) and studied Law at the University of Utrecht. Then followed the Postgraduate Education in Radio and Television Journalism at the University of Groninguen.

Anne-Marie Gualthérie van Weezel is a daughter of J.S.L. Gualthérie van Weezel, former member of the Dutch Parliament, former Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of the Netherlands at the Council of Europe and Her Majesty's former Ambassador in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The father, a member of the CDA (Christian-Democrats) has a conservative profile and is known as a staunch monarchist.

However of a certain standing in society, and despite the well-sounding surname, the family Gualthérie van Weezel is neither noble nor patrician.
