Can't the Norwegian Broadcasting Authorities give the King a reader rather than him reading from the paper? Also, why is he standing? it would be better if he sat like other monarchs do.

Does anyone know if King Harald is on a visit to Washington, D.C. this week (February 7)? I was just watching the Washington Capitals hockey game and the man sitting next to the Caps' owner (and AOL founder) Ted Leonsis is a dead ringer for Harald.

Celebrities and dignitaries, especially when they're here on non-official visits, often attend sports events, so it's not totally implausible, I guess.

Thanks, Iceflower -- I hadn't seen the report of him at the speed-skating event. Too bad he's not here in Washington -- he missed a great hockey game!

Norwegian Queen Sonja studies part of the original manuscript of Knut Hamsun's novel 'Sult' - Hunger -, published in 1890 as she attended the inauguration of the 'Hamsun-year' at the National Library in Oslo, Norway, 19 February 2009. The actors portrayed scenes from Norwegian author Knut Hamsun's novel 'Sult' - Hunger -, published in 1890. 2009 marks the 150th anniversary for the birth of the Norwegian Nobel Prize Laureate. In Norway the National Library will be responsible for the official anniversary celebration, and Hamsun related events will take place from February throughout September this year.
