They will be handed over personally during the visit.
Ah ok so it is customary to award the orders several weeks in advance via a public announcement. I had no idea. Will the orders be couriered over in advance or handed over personally during the presentation of gifts?
There is a state visit to the Netherlands in April
Any idea why the King choose to do it now?

It has been published that King W-A would be created a Knight of the Golden Fleece, but that will only happen when he pays his return visit.
