Those 'legends' looked like a motor club...
 
Today, King Harald V and Queen Sonja of Norway are in attendance at the women's 3,000-meter long-distance race at the Milan Speed Skating Stadium in Italy.

 
King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima will attend the Winter Olympics in Milan from Thursday, February 5th, to Tuesday, February 10th. Princess Catharina-Amalia, the Princess of Orange will accompany the Royal Couple for part of the event. The King has been invited as an honorary member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

I knew that the House of Orange would definitely be there!!! :dutchstandard: :dutchflag:
 
What terrible sponsored outfits they put them in, by Denham. I am sure they suit the designers but nobody else looks good in them.
Do the royals wear the same outfits as the athletes?
If so, then the Dutch can count themselves lucky, because our team's outfits were rightly ridiculed.
 
:previous: Indeed terrible, you don't always have to reinvent the wheel...

King Willem-Alexander was asked about a potential boycott of the Football World Championships this summer in the USA (i.e., the royal family not attending). He refused to answer and instead kept stressing they were now at the Olympics in Milano.

King Carl XVI Gustaf flew with Scandinavian Airlines regular departure from Stockholm to Milan this morning to attend the Olympic Games over the coming days.

 
The Royal Court has updated its calendar, King Carl Gustaf attends the Olympic Games for five days alone, queen Silvia doesn't attend.

Johan Tegel, the Deputy Director of the Information Department at the Swedish Royal Court, confirmed to the press that the Queen has been forced to cancel her attendance at the Olympics due to illness.
“Due to a cold, Her Majesty the Queen will not be participating in the trip.”
On Tuesday, the King, who is a ski fan, will watch the sprint competitions in Val di Fiemme. Sportbladet met the King on Monday, and he was optimistic:
– It will be a success.
On Wednesday the King visits Antholz to watch the women's biathlon competition. Then he will return to Val di Fiemme to watch both the women's and men's 10 km freestyle.
And hockey? Prince Daniel will take that. He will, among other things, watch Sweden against Italy in hockey on Wednesday.

King Harald and Queen Sonja met the speed skaters, Olympic Champion Sander Eitrem and silver medalist Ragne Wiklund, other skaters and staff.
 
So, the Swedes have divided their attendance based on their personal preferences.

I imagine all of Norway wants to do the same :).
 
King Carl XVI Gustaf couldn’t have arrived to the Olympic Games at a better opportunity. He began the day by watching the swedish girls taking Gold, Silver and Bronze at the cross-country sprint today.

No, King Carl XVI Gustaf did not bring any luck with him from Tuesday's medal success in the women's sprint.
With the king in the stands, there was only one top ten finish in the biathlon distance race.
- Sometimes things don't go quite as planned. They deserve better, but they have many more chances, says the king on site in northern Italy.

The Swedish NHL stars met Prince Daniel before the game.
– It's great that he came and supported. Always great when royalty comes and supports, says Rasmus Dahlin.
They didn't have time to exchange too many words.
– We met him on the way down to the food, so it was just a quick "hey there, hello".
– I met him before, so it was fun. We just chatted about the game and that, says William Nylander.
