Hmm, there's that beard again... Please Haakon, shave it off - he looks so much better without it (in my personal opinion of course)! I must say it feels a bit strange and unusual to see Haakon dressed in the military attire (which could also be better designed, but I guess they have more important things to consider in the defence than design ), but nice to see him in it anyway.

It's a bit strange, because I look at him with the beard now and the pictures of him at the wedding... and somehow the beard makes him seem older than he was (Well, of course he's older... but still) A more mature face, if you will. Normally, I'm not a fan of beard on men (and judging by comments made by Ari Behn in regards to his beard, it doesn't sound like Haakon's sister and niece are fans of beards either.) but in Haakon's case it somewhat works.
To me, at least. Maybe not quite as much as this, though.
His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon will visit Minneapolis from October 18 to October 20.
The visit is a part of marking 100 years of diplomatic connections with USA. Crown Prince Haakon will attend the showing of a concert version of Peer Gynt, by the Norwegian Opera. The programme will also encompass a visit to Mindekirken, Hubert Humphrey Institute and the College of Biological Sciences, who recently started a research collaboration project with the University of Environment and Bio-Science at Ås. The visit will end with a visit to St. Olaf's College and Minnesota National Guard who collaborate with the Norwegian National Guard.
Looks like the visit won't be postponed after all.

That's what happens when you travel without a female target for the photographers. I think something similar happened to Prince Charles on his visit to Australia earlier this year. (In addition to being overshadowed by Frederik and Mary) It's so much easier to tempt the press when they can have photographs of women in different dresses...

Haakon's visit was covered by the local press a bit. His visit was announced but with no agenda printed. His visit was a very quick one. Not much time for public interaction. The Norwegian royal family comes here a bit as there is a very large Norwegian population here. I wish I would have know a bit a head of time. I would have tired to take off work, but who knows work is always so overwhelming. But it is nice that he came.
Does anyone know the exact time for when Haakon will arrive in Ålborg on November 6th? I've looked in the thread "calender of official engagements...." and the official website for the royal family, but nothing is mentioned about it. If anyone finds out about the time could you please post it?:) Ålborg is the city I live in, so it would be great if I got a chance to see him.:)
), but nice to see him in it anyway.
