Haakon today at Barents Rescue, Pictures by Lars-Erik Hauge
Hmm, there's that beard again... Please Haakon, shave it off - he looks so much better without it (in my personal opinion of course)! I must say it feels a bit strange and unusual to see Haakon dressed in the military attire (which could also be better designed, but I guess they have more important things to consider in the defence than design ;)), but nice to see him in it anyway.

It's a bit strange, because I look at him with the beard now and the pictures of him at the wedding... and somehow the beard makes him seem older than he was (Well, of course he's older... but still) A more mature face, if you will. Normally, I'm not a fan of beard on men (and judging by comments made by Ari Behn in regards to his beard, it doesn't sound like Haakon's sister and niece are fans of beards either.) but in Haakon's case it somewhat works.

To me, at least. Maybe not quite as much as this, though.
 
Haakon in Minneapolis '05

Press release from Kongehuset.no:
8.9.2005

HRH the Crown Prince to Minneapolis.

His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon will visit Minneapolis from October 18 to October 20.

The visit is a part of marking 100 years of diplomatic connections with USA. Crown Prince Haakon will attend the showing of a concert version of Peer Gynt, by the Norwegian Opera. The programme will also encompass a visit to Mindekirken, Hubert Humphrey Institute and the College of Biological Sciences, who recently started a research collaboration project with the University of Environment and Bio-Science at Ås. The visit will end with a visit to St. Olaf's College and Minnesota National Guard who collaborate with the Norwegian National Guard.



Looks like the visit won't be postponed after all.

That's what happens when you travel without a female target for the photographers. I think something similar happened to Prince Charles on his visit to Australia earlier this year. (In addition to being overshadowed by Frederik and Mary) It's so much easier to tempt the press when they can have photographs of women in different dresses...

Haakon's visit was covered by the local press a bit. His visit was announced but with no agenda printed. His visit was a very quick one. Not much time for public interaction. The Norwegian royal family comes here a bit as there is a very large Norwegian population here. I wish I would have know a bit a head of time. I would have tired to take off work, but who knows work is always so overwhelming. But it is nice that he came.
 
Haakon in Aalborg on Nov 6 2005

Does anyone know the exact time for when Haakon will arrive in Ålborg on November 6th? I've looked in the thread "calender of official engagements...." and the official website for the royal family, but nothing is mentioned about it. If anyone finds out about the time could you please post it?:) Ålborg is the city I live in, so it would be great if I got a chance to see him.:)

Here is some information about his visit, its in Norwegian but I assume you can read it, there is no time, so either look out for more details on www.kongehuset.no or contact the embassy. Hope it helps

According to the post with the royal family's events calender, there is a gala dinner for Parliament on the third. Do you think Mette-Marit will attend?
They said in UK that she would most likely not have any more engagements before the birth, but they did not rule it out completely, I guess it depends on how she is feeling that day.

Thank you very much for this Larzen.:) Yes, you were right in assuming I could understand it.;) I read a few weeks ago in an issue of the Danish magazine Billed-Bladet that Haakon would be visiting Ålborghallen, but it's nice to know now that he's actually going there. Magazines are not always the most reliable source.:D Some friends of mine told me yesterday that I should try and look for Ålborghallen at google, and see if they had anything about his visit. I haven't tried that yet, but I will, and will also check the royal family's official website. Maybe the time for his visit will also be in this week's issue of Billed-Bladet. Hopefully I'll find out one way or another, since there's no point in me standing outside Ålborghallen from early in the morning.:D Thanks again for your help.:)

Thank you for this Norwegianne.:) I actually read this today in one of Ålborg's local papers. It also said that Haakon will re-open/inaugurate the street Boulevarden, because parts of the street has been renovated. He'll start his walk with the mayor from the John F. Kennedy Square (near the train station and also where Boulevarden starts), and then walk to City Hall, where they'll have lunch. They'll start the walk around 12.30. It's not that long a walk. If you walk it yourself it shouldn't take more than a few minutes. But it might take a bit longer for them if they'll be talking to the people and seeing the buildings along the way. Because of this celebration the shops on Boulevarden will be open. According to the paper 500 Norwegian and 500 Danish flags will be handed out to hopefully the many people who'll show up and join in the celebration, and who might get a chance to meet Haakon. I'll definitely be there.;) Not even bad weather can keep me away.:D It's not every day Ålborg has a visit from a foreign royal. It should really happen more often.:D In the evening Haakon will be hosting a dinner at Hotel Hvide Hus (Hotel White House).
 
Crown Prince Haakon attended today a seminar on violence against women in Oslo, he stayed for two hours before he hurried out in the heavy rain and wished them good luck on the seminar that will last three days
