I think she was expecting Haakon back then.

I love this tiara!
It's small, but lovely. MM should wear it as a tiara, too.:rolleyes:

An older article from seher.no that has been published when the Royal Couple went on a StateVisit to Switzerland:

You can see some pictures of young Sonja Haraldsen and we get to know about the fact that her weight changed from 49 kg to 67 kg when she lived in the alps as a young girl :lol:

Does anyone have the source picture of this Avatar?

(Avatar from the Norwegian Gallery)

It must have been taken before/or right after her engagement, right??

Hairstyle-wise, I'd say it's from around that time, yes.
 
Yesterday I was reading a magazine where I found a comparison between the reigning Queens and the next generation.
There was a comparison between Mette-Marit and Queen sonja , too.
It was written that Sonja had problems to get into the Royal Family after the wedding (in the 60s?), that she wasn't able to become a mother and that she ran away from the Castel.
Is that true or just gossip?:ohmy:
 
They were an extremely good looking couple
 
Some more pictures of the young couple:

I guess the picture was taken around 1969 or 1970.
I love the earrings Sonja wears in that picture. Mette-Marit often wears them now.

Wow! Nice pics and informations...In some of Queen Sonja's earlier photographies, I can see how similar she was to Princess Martha Louise. I think that when the Princess gets older, she will be as her mother is now. And both are face-makers! :D:)

A bigger and better-quality version of his beautiful portrait can be found in this month's Official Portrait Poll.

Actually this was Sonja's first official galaportrait as a Princess wearing full regalia.
She surely looked wonderful!
The portraits taken back then were so full of glam and style... I wish they would today more portraits like this nowadays too!

Those are so sweet! I've never seen either of them before. :wub:
 
Thank you Her Majesty. Sonja was very beautiful.
 
 
Great pictures, Her Majesty. She's always been such a beautiful woman. Is the little girl in the first picture a relative or anyone significant?
 
Sonja does look incredible beautiful in those pictures. She reminds me of the late Duchess Of Windsor.
