Photoshoot of Haakon's 33rd birthday

[Larzen]

Haakon is 33 years old today, according to Aftenposten he is celebrating at the summerhouse Maagrø with friends and family. The press reports, Queen Sonja, Mette-Marit, Ingrid Alexandra, Sverre Magnus and Marius are there with him. Its a private celebration but the press is always in boats outside that day so some papparazzi pictures might come

EDIT to ADD
Not so private, as it seems they have posed for pictures, two local papers and Scanpix was invited, according to the article they have been relaxing in Norway by the sea the last two weeks. Queen Sonja is arranging a party for her son by the pool tonight.

What a lovely family.
The kids are turning into beautiful kids. Ingrid looks just adorable now especially with her hair curling up and longer.

Sverre looks like he is 'filling' up into the cute baby fat. In the earlier pictures of when he was born, he looked too skinny.

Thank you everyone for sharing pictures of the Norwegian Family.

Her hair is too long it doesn't look good on her!

I do like Mette-Marit's hair a little shorter, it has just gotten too long now and does her not justice. I like it best when it is just brushing her shoulders, but she looks well all the same.

The children are so sweet looking, and Queen Sonja looks really lovely in her dress, the colour is beautiful.

Ingrid y Sverre is sooooooo cuteee :)

[Larzen]

Sverre really wants that Pearl Necklace badly, also I think Mette-Marit should borrow one of Marys many beach hats, her face does not need more sun:p

So nice of them to pose for local newspapers...

Great Landscape, Gorgeous Children and Happy Parents and Grandparents (wow what happened to these grandparents?! they are looking great and younger everytime we see them ).

A perfect Picture to celebrate Haakon's birthday and his way of Life!

Congratulations on everything Handsome Prince!

Such a sweet family! :)
I'm so in love with Sverre, he's so cute!

[kwanfan]

What precious pictures! The whole family looks so happy. Happy birthday to Haakon!

[Alexandria]

Great pictures! :) The Queen looks great. Absolutely the epitome of summer!

There is definitely some of Mette-Marit in Ingrid Alexandra now, whereas before I think she resembled Haakon so much.

I agree that Mette-Marit needs a hat, too. As well as Ingrid Alexandra. They are both so fair that they need as much protection from the sun's rays as possible. I suppose they refrained from wearing hats so that they wouldn't cover their eyes or faces during the photo shoot. I do hope that on their own time while enjoying the holidays they don hats and wear proper sun protection.

Great Pictures Larzen- Thanks for posting.
I think with lighter hair IA is really starting to look like her momma. She has always been my favorite royal child, but as she gets older she just gets prettier. I think she will a fantastic queen one day.
I love the picture with HM arm around Marius. It seems to me that they go a long way to make him feel like he is one of the family. God Bless them, they are a great role model.

Thanks. Nice pics, but I wish MM would get a haircut, I remember when she was studying in London, her hair was a lovely length, a lot nicer than this.

Happy Birthday to Haakon!
