On May 21, 2025, Queen Sonja of Norway attended the opening of the 73rd Bergen International Festival at Torgallmenningen Square in Bergen. Before the ceremony, the Queen was welcomed with marching band music organized by the Norwegian Music Federation. Queen Sonja also attended a luncheon at Håkon’s Hall in honor of the festival, hosted by the Municipality of Bergen and the Mayor.
The Bergen International Festival is Northern Europe’s largest music and theatre festival and is held annually in late May and early June. In 2025, the festival takes place from Wednesday, May 21 to Wednesday, June 4. King Harald serves as the patron of the Bergen Festival.
She always dresses with style and thoughtfulness. I do like her jacket. I do not understand the purpose of the skin coloured scarf around her head - is it there as a “hat” and doesn’t show particularly well in the photos, do you think?
ReplyDeleteI wondered about that too. Perhaps it's there to keep her ears warm? If so I think another colour, red maybe, would have been better. (V.M.)

Yes I think red would have been better. And perhaps if it’s for the wind, positioned on top of the hair not under it.

DeleteLa reine est toujours vêtue avec élégance ; j’adore le rajout blanc des broderies sur cette couleur corail !
