Norwegian Royals Celebrate National Day

It was a beautiful sunny day for Norway as its royal family marked National Day.

There were three events for the royal family to celebrate. The first one involved the Crown Princely family in Skaugum, outside of Oslo.

Crown Prince Haakon, Crown Princess Mette-Marit and their children stood outside their residence as they waved and cheered for a youth parade marching by. Some children walked up to give Haakon and Mette-Marit flowers.

The entire Crown Princely family was dressed in traditional Norwegian clothes.

This year was different for the family, as they usually stand on the steps of their Skaugum Palace. But since the palace is being renovated, they simply stood at it’s gate.

Later in the morning, Haakon, Mette-Marit and two of their children – Ingrid Alexandra and Sverre Magnus – joined King Harald V and Queen Sonja on the balcony of the royal palace in Oslo.

At 3pm local time, the King and Queen will visit Grünerløkka, a borough of Oslo.

Norway has much to celebrate this year. Not only for their annual National Day, which marks the signing of the country’s constitution, but also for entertainment purposes. Norway won the Euro Vision Song Contest over the weekend.
