Princess Beatrix is visiting Curaçao and Aruba in the next few days. During the visit, the protection of nature and biodiversity and socio-social initiatives are at the centre.

Reason for the visit is the Dutch Caribbean Nature Alliance congress on nature-friendly solutions for the restoration of ecosystems on islands in the Caribbean part of the Kingdom.

Beatrix in the Caribbean: hiking, nature and warawaras

Princess Beatrix flees the Dutch autumn and spends this week in the sunny Caribbean. Until Thursday she was in Curaçao and today the former queen flies to Aruba. These are the best photos from her work trip so far.




Princess Beatrix arrives at the Government Palace for a dinner with Governor Lucille George-Wout and Deputy Prime Minister Ruthmilda Larmonie-Cecilia. This concludes her two-day visit to Curaçao.

Beatrix may release a warawara on Wednesday during her visit to the Curaçao nature reserve Rif St. Marie-Hermanus. “Yippee,” the princess shouts as the bird of prey flies away.

During a visit to the Savonet estate, Beatrix looks at a bird of prey. “Who are you?”, the princess asks the animal in the cage. "He's not allowed out, is he?" Beatrix also has a bird herself: the parrot Lingo.

Beatrix braves the wild nature of Curaçao with walking sticks.

Princess Beatrix enjoys a performance by a primary school class with Tania Kross's choir on Tuesday. The princess finds the performance "cute", "beautiful" and "very nice", she says at the Savonet country house in the Christoffel Park.

Beatrix arrives in Curaçao on Monday afternoon. The former queen is greeted at the airport by Governor Lucille George-Wout, Deputy Prime Minister Ruthmilda Larmonie-Cecilia and Walter Hansen, the Commander of the Navy in the Caribbean.

Beatrix remains active despite retirement: 'But you notice that she is getting older'

Update: an hour ago

An awards ceremony here, an opening there and in between from here to here in the Caribbean: for an 85-year-old retiree, Princess Beatrix is by no means sitting still. What is the former queen's life like now?


Unfortunately I could not see more of this article, for this you must have a certain account with the relevant Dutch News website

She looks great for 85 so cheers!

I have such a hard time calling her "Princess" though, I know its how they do it in the Netherlands, Juliana did it, etc but still I wish they called her Queen Emerita or something.

I think the first few years after Friso's death were absolutely devastating to her. But it looks like she's got a second wind and more power to her!

Beatrix came and comes across very business like most often, but over time she also showed her soft side. Even at (official) events.

Perhaps she was also very lucky with her late husband Prince Claus. Who unfortunately was only recognized by the main public for what he was later in life and marriage.

She has her flaws, but indeed she did it better than her son and daughter in law.

I hope she's around for a long time for CA's sake, to help guide her and provide a solid example.

I know we said it before the trip but jeez I wish even more now she’d brought CA along with her. This would have been 100% better than the visit with her parents.

I agree about Oma Trixie's potential to be a positive influence, not only on CA but on all three of the royal daughters. I know that my own family life was very chaotic and it was my beloved grandmother who gave me some stability and a sense of direction and values. I think of her every single day, and know that what she taught me informs so many of my choices and even my simplest daily gestures.

I know that my own family life was very chaotic and it was my beloved grandmother who gave me some stability and a sense of direction and values. I think of her every single day, and know that what she taught me informs so many of my choices and even my simplest daily gestures.

Partly due to the large number of children and grandchildren, contact with my grandparents was limited. Also, three of my grandparents died when I was relatively small. Well, a grandfather actually died about 10 years before I was even born. What was nice was that my remaining grandmother (with the help of her son and daughter-in-law who lived next door) celebrated several birthdays and certain special days of her 26 grandchildren in person. For her own birthday, she held an annual party, as far as was still possible, attended by all the children, grandchildren and various in-laws (of both children and grandchildren).

Unfortunately, she spent the last years of her life in a nursing home due to dementia and physical decline. During that time I actually had more contact with her. Through a previously demented grandfather and having often visited him with my parents, I "learned" to deal with dementia. That is to say, it was not strange to me. Ultimately, I "sensed" the death of my grandmother (at that time I traveled and stayed far, within the Netherlands, for my studies, etc.) My parents, who are normally quite down-to-earth people, indicated that they did not find such a thing strange.


In the case of Beatrix, she has years of experience as a former queen regnant. In my opinion, Amalia would benefit greatly from the guidance and the like from her grandmother
