Haakon looks especially good in this uniform. What is the difference between this uniform Haakon wears and the unfirom he wore at his wedding? Does he wear this uniform when he acts as Regent only?
Im no specialist on uniforms, but I think it is the same without the belt, the medals, sash and the things on the shoulder, I suppose the one at his wedding was the gala vertion? The uniform is from the army, which is the one he wears almost all the time, at the funeral of count Flemming I think he wore the one from the navy, cant really remeber if I have ever seen him wearing the one from the air force.
Around the time of the wedding there was some marines in the papers saying that he should get married in his navy uniform, becuse that is where he did most of his military training. King Haralad also got married in the armys uiform and almost always wear it, so I suppose it was some kind of tradition.
The reciving of ambasadors always takes place in Uniform, as do the state council, even if Haakon just attends together with the King. Also when attending military related events he will be ein uniform even if he is not regent
Kronprins Haakon sendte søndag sine kondolanser til Vatikanet i anledning pave Johannes Paul IIs bortgang.
Publisert 03.04.2005 12:09.
I kondolansetelegrammet til kardinal Joseph Ratzinger skriver kronprinsregenten at han mottok budskapet om pavens bortgang med stor sorg.
– Jeg vil gjerne få overbringe Deres Eminense og alle katolikker min dyptfølte sympati og mine dypeste kondolanser, heter det.
I hope that the King is making a speedy recovery following his heart surgery a couple of weeks ago and the surgery he had on Sunday. Let's hope that he will be out of the hospital by the end of next week.

This Friday is very busy for Haakon, actually I almost dont understand how is going to have time to go from Oslo and out in nowhere in Lakselv in the very north of Norway and then to Luxembourg, but they have pushed the state council earlier in the morning, usually it is at 11. Haakon is regent which means The King is out of the country, I think he is in Valencia sailing.
