Thanks iceflower for the annual report. I don't understand norwegian. 😔
Here’s another article about the extra expensive on the gardens and other stuff.

The Royal Court has translated its press release about its annual report into English.

Annual report for 2021
Just as in society at large, the restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have continued to affect the activities of the Royal House of Norway and the Royal Court in 2021. Nonetheless, a high level of activity has been maintained. The Royal Family visited 8 counties and 31 municipalities in person and paid digital visits to 3 counties and 13 municipalities. There were 50 meetings of the King in Council of State held at the Royal Palace, and 27 formal audiences were given to receive ambassadors from other countries. In November, Their Majesties The King and Queen were the hosts for a State Visit by the King and Queen of the Netherlands, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince paid an official visit to the US.
The security project
Activities under the project to enhance security at the Royal Palace and the other Royal residences were extensive in 2021, and major portions of the project were completed during the course of the year.
[...]
The security project has a budget framework of NOK 623.8 million. As the project has progressed, a number of factors have proven to be more complicated than in the original specifications set out in the preliminary project As a result the project has been somewhat delayed and has required greater outlay than planned. [...]
[...]
As anticipated by the Royal Court in its statement on the annual accounts submitted for 2020, there was a calculated deficit in the accounts for 2021. This deficit amounts to NOK 4 704 497. Due to the restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of measures could not be carried out during 2020, and these were completed in 2021. More than NOK 8 million have been used for renovation and maintenance projects in connection with the Royal residences and parks in 2021.

Norwegian royal expert Dag Trygsland Hoelseth also wrote an article in English on his blog, with summaries of the information about

The Lord Chamberlain, Gry Mølleskog, who will leave her position later this year, opens the report with a few words about the main events of 2021.
[...]
In addition to the details given above, I should mention that the royal family had 635 engagements («oppdrag») in 2021. The similar number in 2019 was 723, while in 2020 the number naturally was much lower (381). I am not sure if the number contains the same in 2021 as in 2019, though. In the report for 2019 the expression «offisielle arrangementer» («official arrangements») is used, not «oppdrag».

Ironically, it was expected to be the other way around. In Princess Ragnhild and Princess Astrid's youth it was thought that they would follow the then tradition and marry into foreign royal families, but owing to their controversial marriages to commoners and the premature death of their mother, Princess Ragnhild's temporary exile extended into spending the rest of her life in anonymity in Brazil, and Princess Astrid's position as interim first lady lingered into a lifetime of service to the monarchy.
In the next generation, Princess Märtha Louise had been expected to eventually take up an official role after completing her education and show jumping career, but instead she decided to establish herself as a businesswoman.
Prince Sverre Magnus will most likely be the first "spare" of the Norwegian Glücksburgs who will follow the course assigned to him at birth. However, he could also defy expectations and become a senior working royal if King Haakon or Queen Ingrid Alexandra choose to reverse the slimming down of the royal house, if something happens to Princess Ingrid Alexandra, or if Ingrid Alexandra never gives birth to a child from an approved marriage. Or he could marry into a foreign royal family, which would complete the circle.

My guess is that she is abroad (are the schools already done for the school year?) otherwise I would expect her to have attended with her parents and brother.

CP Haakon has Covid, with mild symptoms. Wishing him well and all those he came in contact with, after the appalling tragedy and his visit to Oslo, meeting so many grieving people. May they all be safe.
I always worry about Mette Marit and her lung issues when someone in the family is affected.

No, Haakon didn't have COVID before this. For the Dutch state visit the palace has clarified that it was just cold at that time (which he also had joined the later engagement with W-A & M once he's better.) In March it's Harald who tested positive for COVID.
