On 2 October 2026, King Haakon VIII of Norway formally opened the 171st session of the Storting. The King was accompanied by Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra. The State Opening marks the beginning of a new session of the Storting. This 171st Storting is the first to be opened by King Haakon VIII.
King Haakon delivered the Speech from the Throne on behalf of the Government and outlined its plans for the coming period. The Speech from the Throne is followed by the “Report on the State of the Realm.” It is an unwritten tradition for this report to be delivered by the youngest member of the Government. This year, Minister of Transport and Communications Kamzy Gunaratnam delivered the report.
Not a very good outfit for Princess Ingrid: weird headband with bows, ill-fitted top, a long skirt, which one would expect to see on Sophie, DoE.
ReplyDeleteNur ein Gedanke, könnte die Bekleidung von ihrer Mutter stammen? Denn welche junge Frau hat Trauerkleidung im Schrank?

You are so kind. Agreeing she looks fabulous.
DeleteIt probably has to do with the period of sorrow which they are still in (I refer to the long skirt). I guess she want to look proper.

I on the other hand love what she’s wearing. They are still in mourning, their dress code is sombre and below the knee. She looks beautiful. There is nothing to criticise. There is also no comparison to Sophie! Long hemlines do not all come back to one woman! - they are a choice, and in this case, to do with a double mourning.
DeleteWhat an enormous change for Ingrid Alexandra these last months. From happy go lucky Sydney student, to the string of serious and extremely sad family events, and the responsibilities of her new role. I admire her very much and hope she can get back to being a carefree student very soon.
ReplyDeleteYes, she did not have time to enjoy her student life but she seems to handle the bad situation very well. Wonderful young lady. Wish her strength and happiness.
DeleteSo many big changes in Ingrid Alexandra’s life in a very short time: last year she ws studying in Australia and led a free students life.
ReplyDeleteShe looks splendid today and very mature.
A natural beauty, she is gorgeous indeed
DeleteBeautiful young Ingrid-Alexandra does her job incredibly well!
ReplyDeleteShe is still wearing mourning clothes, so feel no comment is needed.
ReplyDeleteI do like her headband, much better than wearing a hat. Perhaps her outfit has been borrowed from her mother’s closet. The last few months have required a different type of wardrobe which I am sure she has not had the opportunity to build. I think her outfit is okay, and she knows her role, and she may not be able to be AS carefree she is accustomed to, but still have fun.
ReplyDeleteCharmante Ingrid-Alexandra qui porte une tenue pas du tout faite pour cette cérémonie officielle !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful crown princess of Norway, she is steeping into her new role with grace and dignity. Well done 👍
