The royals have had a packed itinerary so far, meeting with Governor Alfonso Boekhoudt and cabinet employees at the Cas Ceremonial following the welcome ceremony.
King Willem-Alexander, 54, also attended the events with his family, which included a cultural tour of nearby town San Nicolas in the afternoon.
The monarch yesterday wore a smart navy blue suit to the welcome ceremony, which he paired with a light orange tie, the colour of his country and family, the House of Orange-Nassau.
Catharina-Amalia is the eldest of the King and his Argentine wife’s three daughters, and therefore his future heir.

As the popular royals began on the second leg of their Caribbean tour, onlookers waved Dutch flags and applauded them as they waved enthusiastically back at the crowds.
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 is a constitutional monarchy with 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.
