A royal yacht is so very useful, not least in Norway.
Yes, and both the King and Queen have actually said that they are totally dependent on Royal Yacht to perform their roles, especially in a country like Norway.A royal yacht is so very useful, not least in Norway.

His Majesty King Harald and Her Majesty Queen Sonja watched Thursday afternoon His Majesty the King’s Guard perform in the Palace Square from the Palace Balcony at Royal Palace in Oslo. Over a thousand people had met up to see the show lasting for 30 minutes.
His Majesty the King’s Guard is the Norwegian King’s lifeguard and the largest department in the Royal Norwegian Army. The Royal Guard is also a part of the city defence of Oslo and is prepared to support the police in crises. After the bombing of the government quarter in 2011, more than 700 guards were in armed action to support the police in the protections of the Government Quarter and other important buildings in Oslo.

Today, September 4, King Harald handed out the Kavli Prizes 2018 at Oslo's Concert Hall and will later also attend the Government's banquet in honour of this year's Kavli laureates:

The Queen welcomed the guests to the opening this afternoon. “It is a great pleasure to welcome you into the universe of an artist whom I, along with so many others, deeply appreciate,” Queen Sonja said in her remarks to the guests, who included established goldsmiths and jewellery artists as well as young people studying to become artisans themselves.
After being closed for a few weeks, Queen Sonja’s Art Stable in Oslo is now open again with a brand new exhibition. It was Her Majesty The Queen who opened the brand new show on Thursday evening. During the summer, visitors could see the Norwegian national costumes which are privately owned by the members of the Royal Family. Now a new and more modern exhibition has taken over the old stable buildings. The new exhibition is named “Tone Vigeland, Jewelery and Sculpture”.
Tone Vigeland is an internationally recognised pioneer in jewellery design, which in the 90’s moved on to create sculptures. Metal is her favourite material, and the works combine the hard material with soft shapes and different textures. The exhibition shows jewellery from the period 1956 to 1998 and sculptures from 1998 to today.
Which marks the end of this year's season for the Royal Yacht.
During Friday’s ceremony, the King inspected this year’s crew. He also examined the ship and made sure everything was as it should before having a short chat with the captain and another military commander on board the boat. The King then announced with his official approval that everything was as it should be and that the royal ship is officially ready to spend the winter at the dock before next season which will begin mid-May 2019.
King Harald attends today 23 September at the ceremony of Jan Otto Myrseth to bishop in Tunsberg. The ceremony take place in Tonsberg Cathedral.

The first Norwegian pupils arrived at the Lycée Pierre Corneille upper secondary school in the heart of Rouen, Normandy, in 1918. Today Her Majesty The Queen took part in the celebration of a century of learning.
Educational cooperation and the establishment of a Norwegian section at the school were part of a peace-building measure at the end of World War I. The idea was for young people to meet and get to know each other in a congenial environment.
