I actually think the opposite, I think short hair suits her.

Just found some photos of collectors coins issued for the centenniary. They are in silver and gold, and are issued in a limited number. They have been issued from 2003 untill 2005, and have different engravings on them, that is the three kings are the same :)

1) 2003 - Different leaves - worth 1500 NOK
2) 2004 - Looks like oil drops - worth 1500 NOK
3) 2005 - Computer language - worth 1500 NOK
4) 2003 - A paved road and some trees - worth 100 NOK
5) 2004 - An oil platform - worth 100 NOK
6) 2005 - Something technical - worth 100 NOK

They can be used to pay with, and the sum behind each of them is how much you get in the usual money in Norway.

Every summer parts of the Royal Palace is opened to the public. There is also exhibitions there for the public to see. This year the exhibition is about the centenniary and the little family of three who arrived in Oslo in November 1905. The article is in Norwegian, but at the bottom of the page there are some photos which are very nice. Enjoy!

I don't know if these have already been posted (sorry if they have), they have some of the same pictures as the other news agencies, but some are different too, and the website is good for other royal houses too.

The King, the Queen and the Crown Prince to Denmark.

After an invitation from HM Queen Margrethe II and HRH the Prince Consort Henrik of Denmark, TM the King and the Queen, and HRH the Crown Prince an official visit to Denmark 7. and 8. November 2005. The visit is part of marking that it is 100 years since the dissolvement of the union and that Danish Prince Carl came to Norway as King Haakon VII.

I suppose it is too close to Mette-Marit's due date for her to take the trip.

8 of November

A visit to King Haakons church

*pouts* In the latest newsletter from King Haakons Church, it says that the arrangement will be invitation only, because of space and safety.

I get that, the Norwegian colony in Copenhagen is huge and the Church isn't *that* large. Doubt I'll get an invitation, hence the pouting.

Ah, will have to bring a camera over to catch them somehow.

And I've seen them before.

Further discussion on the visit to Denmark, will take place in this thread, created for the occasion.

Have fun, and behave.

HMQueenElizabethII · #53 10-05-2005, 06:34 PM

I dont know why but the visit to the UK is more nearer than the visit to Denmark but there has been no information of the visit yet.Has anyone seen any information yet?
