Queen Sonja paid a four-day official visit to the US state, Minnesota. The Queen began her official visit on Thursday with a meeting with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in the state capitol building in St. Paul. On October 15, Queen Sonja attended the opening of a new special collections vault at St. Olaf College containing documentary materials related to Norwegian immigration to the US.
On October 15 Saturday, Queen Sonja officially opened the new Norway House complex in Minneapolis which is an innovation and culture building and will serve as a gathering place for everyone with an interest in Norway and Norwegian culture. The new building houses a gallery, an events space and a library specially designed for genealogical research.
Friday evening, Queen Sonja attended an official dinner in advance of the opening event. Among the guests were many of those who have helped to make the new building a reality and who work regularly to promote Norwegian interests, history and culture in the US.
On October 16 Sunday, Queen Sonja attended a commemorative service that was held on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Mindekirken in Minnesota. Mindekirken, also known as the Norwegian Lutheran Memorial Church, was established in 1922 by the Norwegian Lutheran Church of America.
Queen Sonja met with Norway's ambassador to the United States, Anniken Ramberg Krutnes. Ms Krutnes hosted several events during the Queen's visit.
I always find Queen Sonja so inspiring. Dignified, regal, gracious and very stylish, without being overly vain or boring, as opposed to other royals. Furthermore,

Visite officielle ou pas, la reine
ردحذفVisite officielle ou pas, la reine Sonja sait se vêtir avec beaucoup de goût ; j'adore les couleurs vives des costumes traditionnels norvégiens. Sur la 10ème photo, adorable la petite fille légèrement intimidée en lui offrant un bouquet de fleurs !
ردحذفAdoro la regina Sonja, il suo sorriso è dolce e accogliente

Queen Sonja is looking good in all her outfits. Why a woman of her age cannot dye her hair anymore ? It is far better than Queen Margrethe's grey hair which is becoming very thin lately. She should try another hairstyle. I have nothing against grey hair if it is styled beautifully and is still thick. Older grey women often do not use adapted hair treatments.
ردحذفDon’t think there’s any suggestion that she shouldn’t dye her hair! AnnieM
حذف@AnnieM Read Virginia's (Anon 18/10 11:49) allusion on Queen Sonja's hair "an exception for women of her age".
حذفStill very very attractive and lovely.
ردحذفLove the national dress outfits. Queen Sonja looks wonderful, especially in the dress worn to church. I also like the green suit, worn in the first photos. AnnieM
ردحذفQueen Sonja looks wonderful in all of the above outfits, I cannot really single one out, I love all her choices here. She is very modern in her dress sense. I always love her selected jewellery pieces; she has some interesting and individual pieces.
ردحذفHilarious picture of the little grumpy blond girl . She doesn’t seem to be impressed to meet a real life Queen.
ردحذفQ Sonja is a long way from home. All her outfits look good, but I like her in her native Norwegian dress a lot, very colorful. Not every woman of 80 looks that good. css
ردحذفShe is actually 85!!
ردحذفLovely to see the Queen in the USA, and the beautifully styled clothes, especially the traditional outfit she wore. Wonderful representation! Annie
