Norwegian Royal Family Celebrates National Day

Members of the Norwegian Royal Family appeared in National Dress yesterday to celebrate their national holiday. King Harald and Queen Sonja, Crown Prince Haakon, Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway appeared on the balcony of the royal palace in Oslo while Princess Martha Louise and her family joined in the Norwegian Constitution Day Parade in London. The King and Prince Haakon wore morning suits with traditional black silk top hats while the women all wore the woven headband-style headpieces that are part of Norwegian national costume. They made a colourful and very festive group, didn’t they?
