Dutch State Visit to Norway: 9-11 November 2021

[SOS]

I saw the dress of Maxima and I thought 'interesting'. It's a good, maybe even great dress.

Last day today and King Willem Alexander with Queen Maxima visit Trondheim. With them the Crown Prince Couple ( and Haakon yes!)

Really? In this video from the concert she was nowhere seen in the audience. And there are no photos of the dutch royal couple greeting her. As the King´s daughter she would have sit in the 1st row.

My fault, I mistook the lady next to Máxima for Märtha Louise: https://www.kongehuset.no/aim/kongeh...c23bb78c30.jpg

Willem-Alexander must not get cold. Even Maxima is bundled up in a coat and scarf today but he seems all right in his suit jacket?

It was reported he had 'a cold'. So, I don't think he was that ill but didn't want to infect others with a cold; especially because that might require quarantining because the symptoms are somewhat similar to Covid.

We don't know the meaning of a State Visit in this thread.
But I read on newroyals that to day they visited Maritime Robotics to take a closer look at their maritime Research devices, including autonomous vehicles and maritime drones. They also spoke to Students and Researchers of the Norwegian University of Science and technologie about maritime developments. I am sure the King of the Netherlands had with him this day an important staff involved in Maritime.
It is certainly an interesting subject for the Crown Prince of Norway who was present on this cold and rainy day.

The day before they visited with the King and the Queen of Norway the Deichman Library where there was a Seminar on human rights and Freedom.

The King and Queen seemed to enjoy the visit to the very beautiful Nidarosdomen in Trondheim earlier.

In the press conference at the end of the State Visit the king answered several questions, including that he did apply for subsidy for the Crown Domain Het Loo about which the minister stated that part of the requirements was for the Crown Domain to be open to the public year round - but according to the king there are various categories and only one requires year-round opening.

He also talked about Covid. How they had hoped the situation would be much better this winter (today the Netherlands had the highest number of positive tests ever (16.364)). The royal couple stated that they think about the health care workers and stressed that 'together' the people need to get out of this crisis.

In the opening post of this thread you can find a detailed overview about the programme and topics of the state visit, also including the information you’ve found elsewhere. So it’s worth taking a look at that overview again

At the lunch in Stiftsgarden, the Crown Princess gave a speech, saying:
"On this third day of Your Majesties' state visit to Norway, we are proud to introduce you once again to this important city - both an historic place and a key hub for our common future"

Rick Evers has posted a video on youtube and has kindly provided subtitles in English.

The King reveals that there is a 'deep friendship' between the two families and that sometimes they go on vacation together:
