HRH The Crown Prince only joined the military in 1992, when he entered the Royal Norwegian Navy’s naval recruit training school on board the
KNM Harald Hårfagre at Madlamoen.

The Enthronement took place in June 1991, before any military activity by the Crown Prince.
So the Crown Prince was a civilian and had no any uniform to wear...

I think Stefan's response was directed towards the lack of orders on Haakon at the time. As he hadn't turned 18, the St. Olav order hadn't been awarded him.

The lack of uniform, is a very good point, though, Henri. :flowers:
 
Haakon is wearing glasses.
I guess that since then he has been wearing lenses.

I absolutely love Sonja's dress. It is very much inspired by late medieval dresses. It's wonderful!
 
Are there any video's of The King's Enthronement ?
 
I Like Crown Prince Haakon without the beard better
 
I'm late to the answer, but yes, me too. I never liked bearded men so awfully much. :D

Vanesa.
 
Is this how the Storting Chamber is normally arranged or was it rearranged for the occasion?

SO they planned the whole thing in just 4 days? Wasn't there a mourning period? NO wonder they all look sad in the pictures..:ermm:
 
i am not sure about the events and dates, need some help there

but i can tell you that Princes Ingrid Alexandra is born january 21th i did not know these dates were the same

the church blessing, the first photos in this thread were from 23rd of june
 
Harald succeeded his father as King of Norway on January 17th 1991.
I think on January 21st he was officially inaugurated as Norway's King in the Parliament.
He was consecrated in Nidaros Cathedral on June 23rd 1991.
 
is the king 20 years as king reported in norway at all?

NRK has published many old clips in connection with the the royal couple's 25 years on the throne.
