    Oh, my favourite wedding dress of all times, spectacular!
    Wishing 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.
