Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands, 19, releases sea turtle back into the wild

Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands was a picture of joy as she assisted in the release of a sea turtle during her two-week tour of the Dutch Caribbean Islands.

Joined by her parents King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima, the princess has been embarking on a tour of the scenic islands over the past week.

After visiting Bonaire and Aruba, the Dutch royals are now in Curaçao until Monday, before heading to St Maarten, St Eustatius and Saba next week. 

On Friday, Amalia, 19, was photographed releasing a sea turtle back into the wild during a visit to Sea Turtle Conservation Curaçao as Maxima watched on.

The family later embarked on a tour of the Hofi Mango planta area, and visited the Jump-In Tumba Festival on day seven of their tropical adventure.

Máxima, 51, has become known for her vibrant looks – and did not disappoint today in a bright blue V-neck sun dress, wide-brimmed hat, nude heels and colourful blue, black and white earrings.

At one point in the day, the Dutch Royal Family posed together for a photograph in front of a stunning backdrop of rolling Caribbean hills covered in lush greenery.

 

The family’s vibrant outfits all complimented each other, with Princess Amalia opting for a deep blue, patterned dress. She also opted for a sun hat to shield her eyes from the gorgeous weather.

Meanwhile, King Willem-Alexander donned a light purple dress shirt and smart trousers – of course, accompanied by a pair of stylish sunglasses.

It comes after Maxima and Willem-Alexander celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary in Curaçao on Thursday with a day of royal visits.   

Thursday was the sixth day of the family’s tour of the Dutch Caribbean, which has been organised to introduce the young Princess of Orange to the islands.

The royal party toured the Otrobanda district, talking to residents and artists and watching musical performances.

In the afternoon the royal party visited the Punda and Scharloo districts, for the King to strike a coin marking the 25th anniversary of Willemstad becoming a UNESCO World Heritage site.    

They then went on a walking tour, culminating at the Princess Amalia Bridge, where the party listened to the Amalia Waltz, a piece composed for the Princess. 

They enjoyed a lunch with representatives of the Curaçaoan authorities in the Governor’s Palace, before a dinner in the evening at Van Doornen Cathedral.

The dinner was organised with 21 residents who make a valuable contribution to their community attending. The number of guests was chosen to reflect the royal couple’s 21st wedding anniversary on that day.

The family will enjoy some down-time at the weekend, before they head to Saint Marteen.
