BOAT CHRISTENING ACCIDENT:
Queen Sonja cut up by glass 26. jun 13:27 Norwegian Queen Sonja failed twice when trying to christen a new boat with a bottle of Champagne on Wednesday. On the third attempt, everything went wrong. The champagne bottle simply would not break the normal way and at the third attempt, the Queen entered a smaller boat to get close enough to make sure the bottle would break. A crowd of 450 cheering campers were watching the ceremony that sadly went all wrong. According to VG, a number of glass splinters came in return from the side of the ship and hit the Queen’s face. The splinters resulted in several cuts on the Queen’s forehead and above the left eye. The Queen also had a shower of Champagne hitting her clothes and her hair, according to the newspaper. The Queen reportedly handled the incident well and continued the planned programme after wiping the blood away with a handkerchief. According to VG the cuts were superficial and the Queen is said not to have needed medical assistance. www.english.nettavisen.no Photo: Bjørn Sigurdsøn/SCANPIX The splinters resulted in several cuts on the Queen’s forehead and above the left eye.

What a story! Glad to hear that the Queen wasn't hurt though and that the cuts were superficial. It reminded me of the Haakon/Mette-Marit sunburn story all over again.

Royal Week in Norway This week marks a string of royal celebrations, from a baptism to a memorial service to a birthday. Meanwhile, King Harald says he thinks his father, the late King Olav, would have embraced the royal family's controversial new members, especially Crown Princess Mette-Marit. Tuesday would have been King Olav's 100th birthday, and the royal family is using the occasion to baptize Princess Martha Louise's baby daughter, Maud Angelica. King Harald, in an interview with VG, is also seizing the opportunity to try to pass some of the late king's popularity on to the next generation. "If King Olav had the chance to get to know the crown princess, I'm sure he would have come to the same conclusion as I did," he told VG. "I've grown very fond of her." Crown Princess Mette-Marit still faces criticism from many Norwegians who haven't reconciled themselves to her admittedly wild past, her son born out of wedlock or her distinctly un-royal style. As one commentator put it recently, "people want glamour from their royalty. They're getting jeans and tennis shoes." A recent poll showed that the popularity of the monarchy, especially the crown couple, continues to slide and some predict it won't last another generation. King Harald says he won't make any predictions. "Society has changed and I hope we have the ability to change, too," he said. "We're trying, anyway. Others have to decide whether we succeed." Tuesday's morning baptismal in the Royal Palace's chapel will be followed by an afternoon memorial service for King Olav in the chapel at the Akershus castle and fortress. The royal family and assorted relatives will end the day with a gathering on board the royal yacht Norge. On Friday, Queen Sonja will celebrate her 66th birthday. By then, the royal couple will have moved to their summer home at Maageroe, south of Toensberg. Aftenposten English Web Desk Nina Berglund |

www.afterposten.no - Tomorrow (July 4) Queen Sonja turns 66. It will be a small and private affair as King Harald is Spain sailing. (Perhaps with King Juan Carlos and King Constantine? The three usually participate in some Copa del Rey or something like that event.)

 I loved the color of the attire she wore during the christening. I think Queen Sonja loves light colors though evident in what she wears and she loves pearls.
