How often do members of the Dutch Riyal Family make official visits to the former Antilles?

Every couple of years,or whenever there is an occasion that requires the attendance of the Royals.Officially.Unofficially Members of the RF are known to spend some of their holidays there.With Pieter van Vollenhoven in the family they have a fully qualified diving instructor in the Family too,so,so he has taken many members of the RF and their friends with him to give them lessons,even Maximá is a qualified diver due to him.Pieter and Princess Margriet also spend a large part of their honeymoon on Curacao in 1967.

Completely left alone,no-one bothering them,there were no paperazzi at that time,not as we know them today and the islanders just winked at them and nicked their head when they passed.There is a very strong mutual bond of love between the islands and the Royal Family,as you might have seen some xamples of during the past 10 days.
