Looks very comfortable and warm and since the Sami people traditionally move around a lot, not at all constricting.

The Crown Prince Haakon meets today digital representatives of District Fathers Norway

"- I am honored to work in a project that promotes the importance of father's participation in children and young people's lives, says Thomas Haile in the newly started organization Bydelsfedre Norge.
In 2016, the organization Bydelsmødre was established in Oslo - and has since worked to build a bridge between vulnerable minority women and the public sector.

Now District Fathers is following suit. In August last year, the project started. District fathers are established in the Østensjø district in Oslo - and soon in Alna and Stovner."

Can you please explain?

Of course you are wrong. I am old enough to remember Harald´s last years as Crown Prince before his succession. He was neither more determined nor more dutiful nor did he do more frequent royal engagements than his son - in fact he was known as a pretty "reluctant" character and many doubted he could ever fit in his father´s footsteps.
The current Crown Prince focuses on certain subjects very important to his heart, like the global operating "Dignity" project, equality, climate change and the environment - causes that didn´t exist on that scale back in the 1970s and 80s when most royal families acted, except from official visits abroad, on a more national scale. Haakon seems to be very active on all these matters, having built up a global network. Of course he has been slowed down a bit, like everyone else, by the pandemic. In that regard, he does not only fulfill his "duties" as a norwegian Crown Prince, but also as a person of the public towards our planet and the people dwelling on it!

Both King Harald and CP Haakon love their country and always did everything in their capacity to do all they can for it.

So, Haakon was regent for about 2 1/2 months (late January to Mid-April). Was that his longest stint as regent to date?

Not quite. In 2004 the Crownprince Regent even hosted two incoming state visits (Portugal and Japan). I´m not sure when exactly the King´s sick leave started, but he was definitely ill - if not even still hospitalised - in the beginning of February and returned to office for the National Day in mid May. So it must have been at least about 3,5 months.

In 2004 the King returned back to office for the christening of Princess Ingrid Alexandra in April. And he then attended the Wedding of Prince Friso on 24.04.2004 But i think he was in hospital at the time of the birth of Princess Ingrid Alexandra in January so it would be 3 months he was on sick leave.

You are right. I mixed things up with another sick leave when I think he came back for the National Day.
