The King and the statue of his mother Crown Princess Martha (21.02)














1) The birthday-celebration started with a service in the morning. When the church service was over, the royals headed back to the palace and later trooped out to the palace grounds for another birthday ceremony. King Harald and Queen Sonja led the procession. Behind them is Crown Princess Mette-Marit and her son, Marius Borg Høiby.

2) King Harald, whose mother died in 1954, was visibly moved by the statue of the woman who didn't live long enough to become Norway's queen.

3) Crown Princess Mette-Marit (front left) waved at the crowd. Next to her is her son Marius and Crown Prince Haakon, followed by Princess Märtha Louise and her husband Ari Behn
