On the evening of May 13, 2026, Queen Sonja unveiled a sculpture by Kjell Erik Killi-Olsen in the park outside the Oscarshall summer palace, officially marking the opening of the 2026 summer season at Oscarshall. The artwork She Who Searches for the Sea is one of four sculptures by Killi-Olsen that will be displayed at the summer palace this season.
This year’s public season began on May 7 and will continue through August 30. Oscarshall is a summer palace located on the Bygdøy peninsula in Oslo, along the Frognerkilen fjord. The palace was built as a private summer residence and was completed in 1849. In 1881, King Oscar II opened Oscarshall to the public as a museum.
Lovely to see Sonya, as always.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see her wear pants without the front creases (as Sylvia does), and more of a blazer style of jacket - I think this would really suit her. Lyra
I just wanted to put in a word in defence of this sweet (and also warm, according to description by the maker) jacket. We see so many women in so many blazers anyway ... for me it has always been a (not really that much needed) copy of men's wear.
DeleteI don't see what you mean "front creases". I clicked on the photo's of April 23 and May 14 in which she wore each time black or navy pants and I didn't see creases ?
DeletePerhaps the fabric of the pants is wool, therefore they would be pressed with a crease.
DeleteAnon 13:05, I'm referring to the lines created when the pants were ironed.
DeleteIt's a way of ironing which is used for men's dress pants. It can look good with a woman's pants suit when the pants suit has a similar look to men's suiting. It is rarely used these days for women's pants outside of that context, (as we see with most other royals), and I dont feel the formality of the creases is the right choice for the jacket, and also this casual occasion.

Q Sonja looks fantastic, also like the combination.

Hope the Queen gets a better daughter-in-law next time!
ReplyDeleteBelle combinaison de cette élégante veste blanche avec le pantalon noir ; ses boucles d’oreilles sont trop cachées !
ReplyDeleteShe looks wonderful, stylish yet casual. I like the jacket and the pants, she looks very elegant.
ReplyDeleteI love the new style of jackets Q. Sonja is wearing lately. Today she wears a white/cream jacket and on april 23 she wore a red one. Good choice, she can pair them with black, navy or white pants.
ReplyDeleteQ S , always so nice dresssed!
