Well, in fact she IS very short (only 1,60m or 1.62m I think). Walking next to Harald makes her look extremely small.

A similar question as in the Beatrix&Claus thread:
(Crown Princess Beatrix & Prince Claus 1966)
I was reading in a Royaltybook that there didn't come many Royal guests to the wedding in Norway. It was spoken of a true Boykott of the wedding. Is that true?
What was their reason for the boykott of the wedding?
It was also written that there was death-case. Does anyone know what happened???

I don't know if there was a real boykott , but maybe some people were not content because Sonja was the first commoner to become a Crownprincess and then a Queen...

Ahout the deathcase: On the special weddingpage of Angelfire it is written:

The death of HRH the Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, a friend of King Olav V and above all the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet forces would sadly reduce the celebrations even if the happiness of the Crown Prince and Miss Haraldsen or indeed the one of the Norwegian people were not affected.

When you go on reading it is written that the morning before the wedding the death of Duchess Mariana was announced and the press asked King Olav if the wedding will be canceled, since he and the Duchess were very close (HRH Princess Marina had been whispered as a possible second wife of King Olav, after the deaths of both their consorts).

I loved her veil... I've always favored longer veils over shorter ones. I think longer ones are more dramatic.

Just a questions:
Why didn't they exchange weddingrings like it's done during a traditional wedding??

I really love "Trumpet Tune and Air"! It's a great song for coming inside the church! It's so dramatical!

I just found out that they did. from the angelfire special "After pledging love and fidelity to each other, kneeling to receive the blessing and exchanging the rings, the new Crown Princess of Norway curtseyed profoundly to her father-in-law, the King of Norway, and returned with her husband to their seats. "

Does anyone know what the circumstances were mentioned here that caused the guest list to be smaller than comparable events?

As mentioned above by Her_Majesty, as well as in the book about Crown Prince Harald by Christian Borch, the events in Czechoslovakia a few days prior to the wedding, where Soviet forces invaded the country, led to the celebration being downsized. Furthermore, the death of Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, second cousin to King Olav, on August 27, also put a damper on the festivities.

Default 40th Wedding Anniversary

The Royal Couple will celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary in 2008.

I don't think there'll be as big celebrations as for the silver wedding in 1993 (because of the big birthday parties of the King and Queen in 2007)...
but maybe there'll be a small celebration or at least some beautiful family pictures at the engagement and wedding day.

I inherited some old newspapers and magazines from my great-aunt (probably the only one in my family who fueled my interest in royalty) and I thought that it might be interesting to share some of the details from them.

Some points of King Olav's speech (translated):
Dear bridal couple, dear Sonja, dear Harald.
As you're sitting here today, as a couple, as man and wife, I would like to congratulate you with all my heart, and express the wish that you'll get many and light years together. We have been witnesses at your wedding in Oslo Cathedral, we have heard y ou make the promise to live together as man and wife and I am certain we all congratulate you from the bottom of our hearts.

In 1905, when my parents and I came to this country, Prime Minister Christian Michelsen allegedly welcomed them, or us, to Norway with the wish that as the years went, the new royal family should grow together with the Norwegian people and share its sorrows and be the centre focus of the thought of Norway as a realm. I think that some might think that we've gone a bit too far fulfilling the part about being anchored to and grown together with the Norwegian people, nevertheless I am sure that most understand and have expected the development that has led to the two of you being the Crown Princely Couple of Norway.

--

It is not an easy task to belong to the monarchy in a country. It comes with large duties and the monarchy has to follow the modern development. It demands that the heir to the throne gets the same upbringing and education as the rest of the youths in the country; this to give him the advantage in getting to know and be in touch with the youths and the rest of the citizens of the country.

Only on one point the opinions of the demands on how much the monarchy shall be unified with the modern times diverge: on the choice of bride for the heir to the throne

---
I have wanted to say these words to you all day, because I know you will do your outmost to fulfill the duties that are yours by virtue of who you married. I am personally convinced that you [Sonja] will succeed in this task and you and your husband on many occasions will know how to represent Norway in a wise and dignified manner, so you together will be unified with the Norwegian people as my and Harald’s parents have been given the experience of being. If I had doubted this, my resolution to invite you to join this family would have been different.
