Annual Gala for Stortinget
 

From the Glittering Royals Message Board: King Harald and Queen Sonja hosted the annual gala banquet for the Members of the Norwegian Parliament this evening.

Crown Prince Haakon, Princess Märtha Louise, Princess Astrid Mrs Ferner and Ari Behn also attended.

The Crown Princess has the flu, and was unable to attend. the Crown Prince looked wonderful with his sister and aunt though :)

Polfoto 23-10-2003 23.10.2003. King Harald and Queen Sonja held a dinner for the members of the Norwegian Parliament Thursday evening. Princess Märtha Louise, Crown Prince Haakon and Princess Astrid arriving.

Any idea how come Prince Haakon is looking so somber ?

Nobody better be messing with Prince Haakon or someone might sic the tabloids onto them. I hope everything is ok for this best prince of all. :(

My sentiments exactly.

Thanks for the pictures Alexandria. I love that green colour on Sonja.

I like CP M-M's tiara & earings. The skirt is a nice colour, but IMO it is too long. Also, I really do not like the her top at all. It seems way to big for her. She has such a nice figure, and should have worn something that flatters her more.

I admire King Harald ..... the way he does his duty. Always there, serving.

I still love the tiara. The dress make her loo fat than she real is.

True, but I don't know what he and the queen did w/ their children or at least their daughter

What do you mean, Reina?? Please explain...

Ok what I meant was primarily about Martha. I am sorry, but she is a bit insane to me. and don't get me started on her husband. But I think that the king and queen are too lax and don't put enough restrictions/standards on their court.
