Nadia (10) wrote a letter to the King - now she is invited to a reception on the royal yacht

Nadia from Syria has experienced more than most 10-year-olds. Just two years ago, she and her mother Fatima fled in a crowded rubber boat between Turkey and Greece. On Thursday she was invited to a reception by the Crown Prince couple.

The reception is arranged aboard the royal yacth in Flatanger on Thursday evening, as part of the Crown Prince couple's official county trip in Nord-Trøndelag.

"I'm very excited to meet the Crown Prince couple. There comes a small boat to take my mom and me and then we go to the big boat,'' says Nadia.

She has long planned what to say and what to do when she meets Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette Marit.

"I wrote a letter to the King after we received a residence permit. We vanted to give our thanks for that,'' says Nadia, who has lived with her mother Fatima in Flatanger for almost a year. In fact, they were Flatanger's very first refugees. Now there are about 20 refugees in the Municipality.

This has been a wonderful trip, and it has reminded me of why I like Haakon and Mette Marit (something I needed to be reminded about.

I will make a post on this thread later this evening or tomorrow with many facebook videos (from Norwegian media) of the entire trip.

I will also make a post in the ''republic or monarchy'' thread about what commentators have said in resent weeks about the CP couple and all the so-called scandals/problems surrounding them.

Yes, Tautra Mariakloster (monastery in english). The foundation stone was actually laid by Queen Sonja in May 2003.

The CP family attended the UCI Road World Championships in Bergen today:

Kronprinsen: - Gøy å se sykkel-VM på hjemmebane - Sykkel - VG

Quote:

"It has been amazing. Very nice to see the UCI Road World Championships in Bergen today in Norway and the amazing pictures that have gone out to the world. It has been fun to keep up with the good mood and all the people who have been along the track,'' Crown Prince Haakon said in an interview with TV 2's Cycling expert Dag Otto Lauritzen.

"It was fun to lie behind the field (in a car) to see how they cycled. It's a pretty tough track, so I'm glad I'm not having to cycling through all that,'' he added.

"I hope everyone goes all in. Whom of them, is not so important to me'', he said.

Agree! As I wrote in the post below, they have really given a good impression lately, and it may have something to do with the new PR advisors who have been hired to help them:

You're very welcome!

In other news: As eya wrote, The CP couple visited Rønningen college today:

A long article from Nordre Aker Budstikke - some quotes translated by me:
Kronprinsparet: - Det gjøres fantastisk arbeid på folkehøgskolene

Quote:

''The work they do at colleges around the country, and here at Rønningen is amazing,'' says the Crown Princess.

"It is good that the colleges takes care of the academic, that people they learn something, but also that they are particularly concerned with the entirety. Being a good person is an important part of the year (at the college), I understand, says Crown Prince Haakon.

Quote:

The Crown Prince couple is quickly engaged and asks a lot of questions. They are familiar with much of what the students tell about through their work with the Crown Prince Couple's Fund and other social engagementsin the city.

"I think the key to getting good people's meetings is to give of yourself. You have to dare to give of yourself while being open and listening, "says Crown Princess Mette Marit as an advice for the students.

"I think it's nice to support the idea that there are no people who are just good or just bad. Good human meetings are about bringing forward the good in others, and in themselves'', says Crown Prince Haakon.

Mette-Marit is such a beautiful woman.

In the video she is a stand-out. Hardly matters what she wears.

ROYAL NORWAY · #**180** 10-07-2017, 05:48 PM

Eya posted a royal house article with 3 photos in the General News thread, but it was (according to the palace calendar) an official engagement, so I put it here.

The CP family visited the arena and attended the opening of Eurosurf 2017 in Stavanger today:

Article from NRK with some quotes translated by me:
https://www.nrk.no/rogaland/kronprin...-em-1.13723684

Quote:

'' Very fun that it's EM (European Championships) in surfing in Norway. It's Tore (Organizer Tore Kramer) who has made it happen, and all those who help here. Very fun that it has started, and great with such a big event at Jæren, at Klepp," says Crown Prince Haakon.

The Crown Prince himself is a surfer, and recently took the family to Stadt for surfing.

''I'm very fond of it myself too, going out into the waves, but on a completely different level than those standing over there. It's a great way to be out in the nature. This is the competitive part of the sport, but most of this sport are self-organized, that we just go out and have fun. This is another piece of the same part, now that they are out and will try out the waves on Jæren. It will be exciting to follow it, "says the Crown Prince.
