Where would the Norwegian Royal family stay during this weekend, a hotel, their boat?

They did stay at Buckingham Palace

Thanks lots everybody for your wonderful pictures of this special visit.This has been a really special and lovely visit in this year with lots of engagements, Royals take part in, glittering royal tiaras, and fashion outfits and dresses....
Queen Elizabeth II looks most regal and elegant at The State Banquet on Tuesday night. I also like The Queen's lime yellow outfit as she welcomed the Norwegian Royals but it's a pity as i thought she would wear an outfdit with hat though. The Queen looks elegant as usual at the unveiling of Queen Maud Statue.
The most interesting thing from this special visit that The Duchess of Cornwall wear a Tiara for the first time, though she has never worn a Tiara before but it absolutely did amazing that it had changed how much from a woman Camilla who did not care about what she wear mcuh but now looked really elegant in Tiara.
Queen Sonja looks really elegant most at the unveiling of Queen Maud's Statue, i like her new outfit. But it seems she always wear the dress at the State Banquet lots.
MM has been a best one dressed on this visit, from a stylish outfit with a purple hat on the first morning to a green dress at the State Banquet, she has made lots of beautiful fashions on this visit, even on the last day she wore a purple outfit, but she still did looked really lovely.
There's a pity that we did not see much pics of other British Royals during this visit, especially The earl and Countess of Wessex.

You know it is a reliable article when they refer to Haakon's parents as King Harald and Queen Beatrix. /sarcasm.

I read elsewhere that femalefirst referred to Kaiser Wilhelm II as "Queen Victoria's uncle." He was, of course, her grandson. How hard is it to check? And they call themselves journalists? If I recall correctly, femalefirst also brought us the news that Kate Middleton was about to move into Clarence House. Whatever became of that one?

The Earl and Countess of Wessex did attend the Sate Banquet but there don't seem to be any photos of them. :) The Earl and Countess of Wessex attended a Lunch given by The King and Queen of Norway on board the Royal Yacht NORGE, on Friday.

I have my doubts about femalefirst. It's one of the few websites that's blocked by my company at work. We don't block a lot of websites. I wonder what they're hosting over there.

THE EARL AND COUNTESS WERE AT THE GALA DINNER BUT YOU COULD NOT SEE THEM THAT WELL IN THE PICTURES. THE EARL WAS WALKING WITH THE PRIMEMINISTER WIFE, I DON'T KNOW WHO THE COUNTESS WAS WALKING WITH BUT SHE HAD ON A WHITE GAIL THAT YOU COULD NOT SEE THAT WELL. FROM WHAT I SAW OF HER AND THE GAIL SHE LOOKED WONDERFUL!!!:(

Thanks for the information, Sophie. There's no need to shout, though.

[florawindsor]

oh my god is femalefirst so untrustworthy? I know they had a lot of gossipy sort of news on their site, but I never really read them...
i'll blacklist it from now on

I came across it by accident Susan_Alicia. It's quite good. You can do a 'Soek' on the word 'Beatrix' and see tons of clips of Queen Beatrix, and every now and then a clip of the Danish, Spanish Royal Families comes up as well. They don't show the British RF so much but if something big happens then they do.

I love the carriage of Princess Alexandra. She just sits bolt upright, totally attentive and even though she could be bored to death - you'd never know it.

Stratching at the Table - not good.
