Thank you Iceflower. A bit of a casual look for Prince Haakon but he still looks very handsome indeed. I am sure his attendance was much appreciated by all.

Thank you for this update Iceflower as well as the photographs. I have always had a great admiration for Cecelia Dinardi and her work which concentrates on showing young people how to turn unexpected challenges into opportunities for themselves. A truely wonderful cause. What a honour to be receiving this award from Prince Haakon. She is a good role model and really does deserve this.

 

[iceflower]

She is not much known here in Germany, but that's the advantage of such "royal" prizes: the media attention..


Today, November 16, Crown Prince Haakon attended a seminar with the Pøbelprosjektet in Stavanger.

CP Haakon spent the weekend in Rauland to go skiing most likely together with Marius. The article says that the Crown Prince has visited Rauland as a parent representative of the club where Marius is a member. The sports team was in Rauland in a training camp. The skiing trip was not part of any official visit but rather of a personal nature.
