Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands has been snapped looking sophisticated as she joined her parents Queen Máxima and King Willem-Alexander for an evening out during their official visit of the Dutch Caribbean Islands.

During day two of the two-week visit to the various countries and municipalities of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the royals attended an evening out at the Taste of Bonaire festival.      

The Princess opted for a glamorous look during for her appearance, donning a yellow maxi dress with a tiered skirt and three quarter length sleeves, topped with a fresh white blazer slung over her shoulders.

She wore her blonde locks loose, with soft waves cascading down her back. Meanwhile, she opted for a sophisticated evening make-up look, pairing dewy skin with a bold brown smoky eye.

Her accessories finished the ensemble, with the princess opting for nude heels and a white clutch envelope bag, and a pair of dangling statement earrings.

Meanwhile, Queen Máxima opted for an all-white look, wearing a white sleeveless blazer with a coordinating sleeveless top and trousers.

In her typically glamorous style, she accessorised the classic outfit with statement jewellery, donning gold hoop earrings and a necklace with a large pendant. On her wrist, she wore a chunky gold statement bangle.  

And the King was equally smart, donning a crisp pale pink shirt, which he paired with slacks.

Although the Netherlands is the largest and wealthiest part, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is actually comprised of four constituent countries – all of which have equal status.

Along with the Netherlands itself, the members are Aruba, Curaçao and St Maarten, each of which has King Willem-Alexander as its head of state and its own parliament.  

Three further Caribbean islands, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, are administered as municipalities of the Netherlands and as such, inhabitants are Dutch citizens with the same rights and responsibilities.

Until 2010, all the Caribbean islands, with the exception of Aruba, were part of the Dutch Antilles – an entity that was dissolved and its residents given the choice of independence or integration.

The arrangement is similar to that between the Commonwealth Realms, all of which have Britain’s monarch as head of state but have separate directly elected parliaments.

Earlier in the day, the trio were snapped as they enjoyed touring Bonaire, visiting a number of locations including the Bonaire Mangrove reserve in Lac Bay National Park.

Photographs from the official visits show Catharina-Amalia looking sophisticated in a blue and white floral dress, teamed with cream heels and a dainty handbag.

She left her hair loose and opted for a smattering of glamorous makeup, completing her smart but polished look.

Meanwhile, Queen Máxima opted for a colourful pink frock, cinched at the waist with a fashionable belt and featuring elegant button detailing down the front.

Finishing the outfit, she opted for a coffee-coloured headband to sweep back her locks, and a matching handbag and pair of heels.

And King Willem-Alexander made sure to appear just as smart as his family, sporting a pair of royal blue trousers and a crisp white shirt.

The family’s trip will last for two-weeks. They are expected to embark on their third day of engagements today.
