Crown Prince Haakon's Current Events Part 3: February 2019 -


If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
How come Mette-Marit is not there with CP Haakon?
 
:previous:

In 2018 Crown Princess Mette-Marit has announced that she suffers from a rare chronic lung disease (pulmonary fibrosis) and that she will have to reduce her public engagements. She has done so since then. Traveling to other countries during the current Corona situation while being ill surely also is problematic, as well as Mette-Marit’s general fear of flying.
 
Today, December 9, Crown Prince Haakon laid a wreath at the "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier" at the honorary burial grove in Arlington.
The gallery also includes two more photos of an honour ceremony in New York City where former war sailor Karl Shaft Andresen was awarded the participant medal 1940 -1945 for his efforts during World War II:

Yes, it's very common to see the Norwegian royals in connection with military exercises. This time there is an added touch, due to the situation along the Ukrainian-Russian border.
Most NATO countries are now deploying something to either the Baltic countries, Eastern Europe, the Baltic or the Back Sea.

I don't know what Norway is deploying. I imagine they are reinforcing their forces in Finnmark to the far north.
 
Today, February 10, Crown Prince Haakon inaugurated the "The King's Cars. Vehicles Through Four Generations" exhibition at Queen Sonja Art Stables:

If Mr. Aanmoen's translation ("Norway has condemned the invasion and supports Ukraine in several ways.") is faithful to the Norwegian, the Crown Prince's statement seems to be not so much condemning the Russian government's attack in his personal capacity as noting the Norwegian government's condemnation of it (which I think is fine in a ceremonial monarchy).

H.K.H. Kronprins Haakon visited today air departments at Evenes and in Bodø in connection with the exercise Cold Response 22.
The Crown Prince first got a meeting with the QRA readiness at Evenes, before he got a closer look at the newest aircraft in the Air Force, P-8 Poseidon.
The trip continued to Bodø in an American C-130 transport plane. At the base in Bodø, which houses around 2000 Americans, he visited the US Marine Corps, where he greeted several of our allied soldiers and gained a good insight into allied air operations and cooperation.
