Most of the royals are travelling in the mini buses. Just seen Marie and Joadchim too.

And what looks snobby to me may look restrained to them.

British constitutional essayist Walter Bagehot once wrote, referring to the monarchy, "We must not let daylight in upon the magic"
And even 150 years later, and in the age of social media, it's a maxim The Queen still tries to adhere to.

Continuation of post 404: The prime minister is to speak now.
Best place to watch:
The NRK broadcast starts now - live streem:
https://www.nrk.no/nyheter/kongepare...ing-1.13508862
TV2 News Channel will have coverage with the eminent Kjell Arne Totland:
https://live.tv2.no/kong-harald-80-aar
Edit: The Prime Minister says that 5 million Norwegians feel that we own a bit of the King and Queen.
Edit: The cameras are thrown out - the King/Queen to speak later tonight.

Can do you tell us why 1998 was the couple's annus horibilis?

I remember that the guest list for previous Scandinavian royal weddings included ladies-in-waiting and/or adjutants of the royal guests. I don't know if they are also being accompanied by ladies-in-waiting or adjutants at this particular event, but I'd assume it is very likely that they are.

I wrote 3 long posts about the personal popularity of Norway's 3 monarchs and their impact on the popularity of the Norwegian monarchy and scandals who have threatened it in the Republic/monarchy thread - read them here:

A very happy birthday to the King and Queen of Norway  They seems like a nice down to earth couple.
*
It was quite lovely to watch the live-streaming and see how happy both Mary and Victoria are for their husbands. I noticed how both Mary and Victoria put their arms arounds their husbands several times while arriving. Lovely to see.
Or maybe Victoria and Mary just were grateful that their dotings husbands held the umbrella for them in this miserable rainfall...
