Will Harald and Sonja attend Olympics Games?

It seems that the only Norwegian Royal in Athens at the moment is Crown Prince Haakon. Neither of his parents are scheduled to go there.

Princess Märtha Louise will most likely be attending the paralympics down there in September.

The Duchess of Gloucester has blonde to sandy blonde hair.

Queen Sonja has chestnut coloured hair with occasional blonde or mahogany highlights. (I think the sun must lighten her hair during the summer, hence an appearance of blonde highlights during the summer months.)

And since the lady in question is well past sixty years old, it is unsure how much of it is her real colour right now... But it has lightened a lot during the years.

It is now certain that King Harald and Queen Sonja will pay a state visit to Vietnam and Singapore this autumn. No dates have been announced, but it is likely to be late Oct/early Nov.

An incomming state visit is also expected, though I have heard no rumours of who have been invited.

Oh,ys,Mandy.I will try to find pics of them.I'm not sure because when a Head of State visits my country,they usually stay in the North of Vietnam.And i'm living in the South of Vietnam.But i hope that they will visit The South of Vietnam because in the south there is a strongest economic city in Vietnam.Last Feb,when HM King Carl Gustav and Queen Silvia of Sweden visited Vietnam,they also stay in Ho Chi Minh City for 2-3 days,i remembered.So,i hope Harald and Sonja too.

Dronningen skrøt av «Ikke naken»

-Praktfull

HAUGESUND (VG) - En praktfull film! Det var en glede, svarte dronning Sonja på vei ut fra kongelig première på «Ikke naken» i Haugesund i går.

Av ELLEN MARGRETHE SAND og NILS BJÅLAND (foto)

Der hadde hun og kong Harald delt benkerad også med filmens 13-årige skuespillere, Julia Krohn og Bernhard Naglestad - som også så filmen for aller første gang. Og var like spent på filmen som de var på sitt ytterst kongelige publikum.

Kongeparet er i Haugesund for å feire byens 150-årsjubileum, som falt sammen med filmfestival og lansering av Torun Lians film. Og de kom til Edda kino rett fra Udland omsorgssenter. Med store smil i vestlandsregnet, som Dronningen lyste betraktelig opp med sin gule sydvest.

Etter forestillingen berømmet hun så vel regissør Torun Lian som filmens 13-årige hovedrolleinnehavere Julia Krohn og Bernhard Naglestad.

SUMMARY IN ENGLISH:
The King and Queen attended the film festival in Haugesund, where they were on the premiere for the young adult film: Not Naked. The queen told the press she enjoyed the film.

Their Majesties at Investiture Ceremony...

[norwegianne]

It's most definitely not called the Rikstag. That is for certain. It's called Stortinget, or The Storting.

A magazine in Viet Nam announces that King Harald and Queen Sonja will pay their State Visit to Viet Nam on 20 October this year.And this is the first time that Vietnamese actors and actresses will perform Norway's famous play of Herich Ibsen.

I read on another forum that the King and the Queen do have some marital problems and that they seem to lead kind of separate lives ... Does someone know more about these rumours ?
