On August 25, 2026, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit celebrated their silver wedding anniversary. To mark the occasion, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess shared a series of photos from their private photo album. Crown Prince Haakon and Miss Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby were married at Oslo Cathedral on August 25, 2001.
The engagement of Crown Prince Haakon and Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby was announced on December 1, 2000. Their wedding took place on August 25, 2001, at Oslo Cathedral. Mette-Marit wore a gown made of white silk crêpe and soft silk tulle, custom-dyed in ecru. She also wore a six-metre-long veil, which was attached to her hair.
The Crown Princess wore a tiara made in 1910, a gift from King Harald and Queen Sonja. Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit have two children, Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus. Mette-Marit also has an older son, Marius Borg Høiby.
Note: King Harald’s health deteriorated over the weekend. He is receiving antibiotics for a bacterial infection in his bloodstream and has responded to the treatment. According to statements issued by the Royal Palace on August 24 and 25, there have been no significant changes in the King’s condition, and his situation remains stable. The King will remain at Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet, and is on sick leave until further notice.
Oh, my favourite wedding dress of all times, spectacular!
ردحذفWishing the CP couple a happy anniversary, though I know that the Norwegian Court is currently dealing with another sanitary emergency.
King Harald was hospitalized in precarious healthy conditions, according to the official announcement from the Palace..
P.Harald has been immediately appointed Regent as it is customary and mandatory under such circumstances.
Wishing a safe recovery to the King as well.
Hello P! Do you mean Crown Prince Haakon is currently regent? Septicaemia is scary at any age and thank goodness he is responding well.
حذفRe the dress, it is beautiful ( though for me too simple to be my favourite). I hadn’t realised until these photos how low it is cut in the back; a very interesting detail. It certainly suits her extremely well. The speech he gave to her at the wedding dinner is one of the most romantic I’ve ever heard ( along with Frederik of Denmark’s speech to Mary).
Ps just one little correction to your flawless English (despite you being Italian, right?). If we say “sanitary” crisis, it would indicated a crisis of cleanliness. We would therefore say a health crisis.

حذفHello, Anonymous 13:32, you are exactly right, sorry!
حذفThis has to be of my overlappings peeping out.
I realized the mistakes soon after pressing the publish button.
The correction about Prince Haakon is here, don't t see the " health" crisis thing.
I most likely wrote this correction too and forgot to press the button... lol..oh my!
*another health crisis (not sanitary emergency).
حذفShe was a lovely bride in a most beautiful gown!
ردحذفWow, her dress is simple but breathtaking, along with Meghan’s wedding dress they make my top one, Rem
ردحذفShe was a beautiful bride, her sons look very much like her, can hardly tell the difference in some photos.
ردحذفThrough the good times and the worst you can always rely on me, Haakon kept his promise.
What a beautiful comment,

"Through the good times and the worst you can always rely on me, Haakon kept his promise".
So true.
These have to be bittersweet hours for P..Haakon, torn between his royal duty as Regent and his private concern about his wife's and Papa' s health conditions.
I am sure he Is being steadfast and brave just like be has been on other occasions lately.
As @ Anonymous 13:32 recalled, his wedding speech was one of the most romantic a royal groom has ever delivered.
Haakon !
ردحذفAbsolutely love the skirt of her wedding dress, seemed frothy yet not fluffy. The sweater and skirt are such a nice casual look, great length, colours are very pretty on her. The print of the skirt is just enough to not make it fussy.
ردحذفThis also one of my top 3 favorite wedding dresses. When she walks, the bottom half of the dress somehow shimmers. It’s so cool.
ردحذفIt sounds like the king is septic. I wish him and his family well. They have gone through so much lately.
My thoughts and prayers are with King Harald.
حذفRe: the wedding dress, I agree.
So spectacular in its simplicity!
Alles vergeten en vergeven, zij is een royal
ردحذفA very happy anniversary to this lovely couple. It’s admirable that they’ve gone through so much together, stay strong against life adversity and media’s pressure. Love the bond and the complicity we see between them. Wish them many many years of joy and happiness ahead.
ردحذفI am struck by the 1st photo of the crown prince. What a natural and beautiful photo of him, very authentic. My positive thoughts and prayers are with the royal family, their current health battles, an extremely worrying time.
ردحذفCongratulations to this lovely couple. I do hope they are able to enjoy the day. They have had such a tough year so far and the reports on the King’s health seem to indicate that CP Haakon may have increased responsibilities for some time to come.
