Lindy Klim was referred to as a “Balinese Princess” multiple times throughout The Amazing Race Australia 2025 — but is she actually royal?
Turns out Lindy is, in fact, a real princess by blood, and she explained her royal heritage in a post-elimination interview with Chattr.
“So my family come from a royal family in Denpasar,” she said. “So there are eight kingdoms in Bali, and we’re part of one of the royal families.”
“It’s my great, great uncle, who was the king, and then he passed away. So then they had to find another king. So the current king of Denpasar isn’t actually a blood relative of ours anymore, but that’s the lineage of the family”
Lindy competed on the popular reality show with her daughter Stella, who fell ill during the seventh leg of the race and was later diagnosed with epilepsy. With Lindy’s royal heritage, it begs the question — does that make Stella a princess too?
“I don’t know. I don’t think so. I wouldn’t say so,” Stella told Chattr. However, her mum confirmed that Stella is, technically, a princess, too.
“It does. We have a family name, which is Agron, which means children of the king. So all the kids have that same name.”
Lindy added that while she is royal, she doesn’t like to advertise the fact.
“I grew up in Australia. My father passed away, you know, many years ago, so I don’t really have that much of a connection with it. I still see my family here [in Bali] quite a bit, but I don’t consider myself sort of part of that [royal] family, you know, I don’t really understand what goes on. There is a big ceremony I have to go to, but I don’t really understand a lot of it. So that’s why I kind of don’t really call myself Princess, by choice.”
Stella was diagnosed with epilepsy after she and Lindy Klim left The Amazing Race
During the seventh leg of The Amazing Race Australia 2025, Stella fell ill and began to black out while doing a challenge, which involved digging through brine-filled barrels and laying fish out to dry. The mother-daughter pair were removed from the race, and Stella was diagnosed with epilepsy weeks later.
“I actually ended up getting diagnosed three weeks later with epilepsy,” Stella told Chattr. “I’ve had five seizures since, so we reckon it could be somewhat connected to that. And I think the change of temperatures, going from super cold to super hot, affected that and the lack of sleep and everything.”
Stella explained that she’s been working with doctors to find the right medication for her.
“It’s actually been quite tricky. Just since I have been having seizures, I’ve been on medication, but it just gets worse,” she said.
“I just had a seizure two weeks ago, actually, and I was in the back of an Uber with my manager, and I ended up having to go to the hospital, and my doctor came in and just goes, ‘That’s it, like we’re going to have to double your dose and just see if that helps’. So we’re just waiting to watch and see what happens, and hopefully I’m all good,” she explained.
The Amazing Race Australia airs on Sundays at 7pm and Mondays at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.
