"Crown Prince Haakon have cancelled his holiday and returned to Norway today
He is regent, as the King is abroad, the decision was made after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, so that the Crown Prince can take care of the royal house's duties in the event of an escalation"

On February 18 the Palace announced that the King would celebrate his birthday with some winter holidays abroad, see here. So maybe he still is on that holiday.

The King has been on a holiday abroad with his wife, children & grandchildren to celebrate his 85th birthday. Only the return of Haakon and Mette-Marit has been announced, so most likely the rest of the family are still on their holiday.

How was Prince Haakon serving as regent if he, too, was out of the country with the King and family?

He wasn't, he returned to Norway so that he could act as regent. Someone needed to return in order to act as head of state in the event that the situation escalated - either the King or the Crown Prince as regent. (Or, theoretically, Ingrid Alexandra, who can now also act as regent, but of course that remains an unlikely option for now.)

Got it. I was under the impression that there always needed to be an acting regent if the King was out of country.

That's Denmark. If the monarch is out of the country, the crown prince takes over as regent. If he is outside of Denmark as well either Mary, Joachim or Benedikte is appointed as Rigsforstander.

The Constitution permits the Council of State to conduct the government if both the King and the Crown Prince are out of the country:
Article 41
If the King is absent from the realm unless commanding in the field, or if he is so ill that he cannot attend to the Government, the person next entitled to succeed to the throne shall, provided that he has attained the age stipulated for the King’s majority, conduct the Government as the temporary executor of the Royal Powers. If this is not the case, the Council of State will conduct the administration of the realm.

Now I'm confused.
I always thought Haakon's eyes were brown, especially given his mother's and how dark Ingrid Alexandra's are. But... he's got central heterochromia (green with brown in the middle? hazel like Catherine Cambridge?)? What color are his eyes, really?

Why do they need to build anything with all the residences they have and have access to?

Will they build a new one, or another one?

Refugees from Ukraine have been given a place to stay at property owned by Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway.
The Norwegian palace confirmed the situation on Tuesday [June 7], news wire NTB reported.
“The refugees will be followed up with the usual procedures used by authorities and municipalities. The refugees have been in Norway for a while,” the palace’s head of communications Guri Ofstad Varpe told newspaper Klassekampen.
While the refugees are staying in property owned by Crown Prince Haakon, the heir to the Norwegian throne, and Crown Princess Mette-Marit, the Crown Prince and Princess are not staying with the refugees.
Three Ukrainian nationals and their children have been provided accommodation under the arrangement.
