Sorry this to say, but I hate it, that the behaviors of IA is so impolite. I know that she is little for such occassions and sure it was boring for her and she didn't understand anything, but she has two hands to hide her yawn... :((

i agree, yawning without trying to hide it is rather poor of IA, she should have been taught better.
 
I agree with you both, and it's not the first time she has done this. Or was it Sverre who did it once too?
 
Ingrid Alexandra is just 10 years old, and she did a very good job yesterday. There is a special atmosphere here today, looking forward till tomorrow.
 
I do think that Ingrid Alexandra was being a little impolite, perhaps it would've looked better if she covered her hand over her mouth whilst she was yawning. Having said that, she's still quite young at ten, and ceremonies such as these can be very tedious for a ten year old. So it's not surprising that she was a little tired. Perhaps she also forgot to cover her mouth, I've done this a number of times.

Moving on, I did like Ingrid Alexandra's dress. It looked smart but comfortable at the same time, and I like her black pumps. I wonder why Marius wasn't there? Maybe it's because he isn't technically royal, despite being MM's son and welcomed into the NRF.
 
Marius and Ari are members of the royal family, but not the royal house and are not present at state ceremonies. Princess Astrid, Princess Martha Louise and Prince Sverre Magnus are not members of the royal house, but have royal titles. We will only see The King and Queen, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess and Ingrid Alexandra on the balcony tomorrow.
