Polfoto 25-11-2003 Oslo - King Harald hospitalized Norwegians were waiting Wednesday for more information after the news that King Harald had been admitted to hospital, suffering from hematuria, blood in the urine. But official details were sparse, and physicians were quick to point out that hematuria can mean anything from an infection to cancer. The pictures showes Princess Märtha Louise and Crown Princess Mette-Marit on their way out of the hospital after visiting the King.

Since King Harald is ill,:cry: and on sick leave it seems like Crown Prince Haakon will be making his debut on New Year's Eve with the traditional speech. :eek:
 
www.vg.no

Haakon: –Skal gjøre så godt vi kan

– Vi skal gjøre så godt vi kan – det kommer sikkert til å gå fint. Jeg har vært regent tidligere, men aldri over så lang tid, sa kronprins Haakon mandag kveld.

Både kronprinsen og kronprinsesse Mette-Marit var gjester under NORADs hiv-aids-konsert på Eidsvolls plass, og frammøtt presse var naturlig nok svært interessert i kronprinsens kommentar etter dagens nyhet om kongens blærekreft.

-Det var ikke noe hyggelig budskap å få, men vi er glad for at legene melder om gode prognoser. Legene er optimistiske og kongen blir frisk, sa Haakon.

-Kongen har bedt meg fortelle at han setter pris på hilsener og all omtanke, sa kronprins Haakon.

Overtar program og TV-tale

I forbindelse med sin fars sykdom er det kronprins Haakon som i henhold til Grunnlovens paragraf 41 overtar kongens offisielle plikter. Blant annet er det kronprinsregenten som vil holde årets nyttårstale.

Tirsdag skulle kongeparet hatt middag på Slottet for landets fylkesmenn, men både denne middagen og middagen for medlemmene av Høyesterett dagen etter er avlyst på grunn av kongens sykdom.

Høytidelige audienser og andre planlagte audienser overtas av kronprinsregenten i den perioden kongen er syk.

Det er også kronprinsparet som sammen med dronning Sonja vil være til stede ved utdelingen av Nobels fredspris 10. desember. Kronprins Haakon og kronprinsesse Mette-Marit vil også være stede ved Nobelkonserten i Oslo Spektrum dagen etter.

Kronprinsregenten vil overvære H.M. Kongens Gardes årlige kirkeparade i Oslo domkirke den 16. desember.

Well, she will better... the baby can't stay inside forever :rolleyes: As for the King, well all reports say that they believe he'll be alright again. At least until they know if the cancer has spread.
 
You're right. I was being too melancholy.

Crown couple has hands full

Talk about everything happening at once. Norway's Crown Prince Haakon not only is acting regent while his father is sick, but it's a particularly busy season for the royals. And on top of that, he and Crown Princess Mette-Marit are moving.

The holiday season is a busy time for just about everybody, but for Norway's crown couple, it's turned downright hectic.

Crown Prince Haakon took over royal duties for King Harald last week, after the monarch was diagnosed with bladder cancer. He's thus presided over the weekly session with the government, stepped in for such official duties as accrediting new ambassadors and must prepare and tape the reigning monarch's annual nationally broadcast New Year's address to the Norwegian people.

This week, meanwhile, is dominated by all the ceremony tied to the annual awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize, the one time of the year when Oslo is guaranteed to attract international attention. Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit will greet prize winneer Shirin Ebadi of Iran Tuesday, preside over Wednesday's awards ceremony and banquet, and attend Thursday's annual Nobel Concert.

The crown prince's new duties as regent are expected to last at least through February, the earliest point at which King Harald is expected to be fully recovered.

Meanwhile, the crown couple is expecting their first child together next month, and also was keen to move into newly remodeled quarters at the official residence they're taking over at Skaugum, west of Oslo.

That means packing and all the chaos associated with any household move. A large van was parked outside their current flat at Ullevaalsveien 67 in Oslo on Monday, signalling that the move was underway.

And then there's Christmas to think about, one of the most socially active and important seasons in Norway. Doctors already have cautioned the crown princess to take it easy during the latter part of her pregnancy.

Maybe the couple will be able to take a break next spring.

It's some sort of meeting between some new ambassadors to Norway & CP Haakon. I was wondering the same thing, why isn't MM there?

Mette-Marit is on maternity leave until late spring/early summer. As the meeting of these ambassadors at which Haakon was presiding in his role as regeant, took place in mid-February, Mette-Marit would've only just delievered Ingrid Alexandra a month or so before. She was in all likelihood resting.
 
1. Mette-Marit won't be appearing much in public until August. Maternity-leave.
2. She wouldn't have appeared had she not been on maternity leave. Nor is Queen Sonja there. Since the duty Haakon is performing is original King Harald's, Queen Sonja would have been the one who would have been there, had it been custom.
3. It's not a tradition for spouses to been present when receiving the credentials of the new ambassadors. As far as I know that's also the case in Denmark, I'm not sure about the other countries. Handing over the credentials from the ambassador's own head of state does not count as a state-visit.

Any more explaining needed?

Haakon looks especially good in this uniform. What is the difference between this uniform Haakon wears and the unfirom he wore at his wedding? Does he wear this uniform when he acts as Regent only?
 
Im no specialist on uniforms, but I think it is the same without the belt, the medals, sash and the things on the shoulder, I suppose the one at his wedding was the gala vertion? The uniform is from the army, which is the one he wears almost all the time, at the funeral of count Flemming I think he wore the one from the navy, cant really remeber if I have ever seen him wearing the one from the air force.

Around the time of the wedding there was some marines in the papers saying that he should get married in his navy uniform, becuse that is where he did most of his military training. King Haralad also got married in the armys uiform and almost always wear it, so I suppose it was some kind of tradition.

The reciving of ambasadors always takes place in Uniform, as do the state council, even if Haakon just attends together with the King. Also when attending military related events he will be ein uniform even if he is not regent

Kronprinsen kondolerte Vatikanet

Kronprins Haakon sendte søndag sine kondolanser til Vatikanet i anledning pave Johannes Paul IIs bortgang.

Publisert 03.04.2005 12:09.
I kondolansetelegrammet til kardinal Joseph Ratzinger skriver kronprinsregenten at han mottok budskapet om pavens bortgang med stor sorg.

– Jeg vil gjerne få overbringe Deres Eminense og alle katolikker min dyptfølte sympati og mine dypeste kondolanser, heter det.

I hope that the King is making a speedy recovery following his heart surgery a couple of weeks ago and the surgery he had on Sunday. Let's hope that he will be out of the hospital by the end of next week.
 
After he and Mette-Marit opened the Norway-Sweden exhibition Haakon payed a visit to Inovation Norway for three hours. (no pics of that ) Tomorrow he and Mette-Marit will host a dinner for 25 business people in their home Skaugum VG.no reports although the event is not listed in their calendar. The goal is to strengthen the ties with Norwegain companies. On their trip to Poland Haakon and Mette-Marit will head the business delegation of about 30-40 that will focus on food safty, travel and tourism as well as sciense (Fashion note: Mette-Marit has to make a real effort not to be totally out glammed by the uberstylish Polish first lady which they will meet with, no boring brown suits, snakeskin shoes and dismatched purses please)
