Norwegian Centenary Celebration 2005

[agisele]

btw. I love love love what Princesses Mette-Marit and Martha Louise wore. Though, I'm not too sure if I would've gone with the red shoes, I like how they look, but probably wouldn't have chosen a pair in that color.

Thank you for all the pictures of the concert Larzen! :)

I love Ari's pyschedelic tie!

And Mette-Marit was very elegantly turned out, as were all the royal ladies!

[Amira]

It seems that all members of the norwegian family choose Golden shades for their clothes , very beautiful and very good choice ...they look elegant :)

I loved MM's look: very elegant, well-fitting, lovely color dress and coat, and I like the shoes! A nice bold color to spark up the outfit. Though maybe it would have been better with a red purse to match?
I like the makeup, really like her hair, jewellry.

Martha Lousie looks matronly - the outfit is too big and ill-fitting, and the cut is not flattering. I know she's post-pregnancy, but then maybe she should choose an outfit with a more flattering cut. I do like the Spring-y yellow color. She usually brings a lot of style and elan to the royal scene but this outfit was not one of her better choices IMO.

Märtha is beautiful but I think she would be much prettier with long hair ...

I think mette-marit looked so elegant. The coat, the dress and those shoes just made the outfit. It's a shame there was not a picture of the dress withouth the coat because that looked so beautiful!

I actually think the opposite, I think short hair suits her.

Just found some photos of collectors coins issued for the centenniary. They are in silver and gold, and are issued in a limited number. They have been issued from 2003 untill 2005, and have different engravings on them, that is the three kings are the same :)

1) 2003 - Different leaves - worth 1500 NOK
2) 2004 - Looks like oil drops - worth 1500 NOK
3) 2005 - Computer language - worth 1500 NOK
4) 2003 - A paved road and some trees - worth 100 NOK
5) 2004 - An oil platform - worth 100 NOK
6) 2005 - Something technical - worth 100 NOK

They can be used to pay with, and the sum behind each of them is how much you get in the usual money in Norway.

Every summer parts of the Royal Palace is opened to the public. There is also exhibitions there for the public to see. This year the exhibition is about the centenniary and the little family of three who arrived in Oslo in November 1905. The article is in Norwegian, but at the bottom of the page there are some photos which are very nice. Enjoy!

I don't know if these have already been posted (sorry if they have), they have some of the same pictures as the other news agencies, but some are different too, and the website is good for other royal houses too.

The King, the Queen and the Crown Prince to Denmark.

After an invitation from HM Queen Margrethe II and HRH the Prince Consort Henrik of Denmark, TM the King and the Queen, and HRH the Crown Prince an official visit to Denmark 7. and 8. November 2005. The visit is part of marking that it is 100 years since the dissolvement of the union and that Danish Prince Carl came to Norway as King Haakon VII.

I suppose it is too close to Mette-Marit's due date for her to take the trip.

8 of November

A visit to King Haakons church

*pouts* In the latest newsletter from King Haakons Church, it says that the arrangement will be invitation only, because of space and safety.

I get that, the Norwegian colony in Copenhagen is huge and the Church isn't *that* large. Doubt I'll get an invitation, hence the pouting.

Ah, will have to bring a camera over to catch them somehow. And I've seen them before.

[norwegianne]

Further discussion on the visit to Denmark, will take place in this thread, created for the occasion.

Have fun, and behave.

[HMQueenElizabethII]

I dont know why but the visit to the UK is more nearer than the visit to Denmark but there has been no information of the visit yet.Has anyone seen any information yet?
