In the press conference at the end of the State Visit the king answered several questions, including that he did apply for subsidy for the Crown Domain Het Loo about which the minister stated that part of the requirements was for the Crown Domain to be open to the public year round - but according to the king there are various categories and only one requires year-round opening.

He also talked about Covid. How they had hoped the situation would be much better this winter (today the Netherlands had the highest number of positive tests ever (16.364)). The royal couple stated that they think about the health care workers and stressed that 'together' the people need to get out of this crisis.

We don't know the meaning of a State Visit in this thread.

In the opening post of this thread you can find a detailed overview about the programme and topics of the state visit, also including the information you’ve found elsewhere. So it’s worth taking a look at that overview again

"On this third day of Your Majesties' state visit to Norway, we are proud to introduce you once again to this important city - both an historic place and a key hub for our common future"
