They are indeed bowler hats and they are part of the guard's uniform because a queen somewhere in the past, a Norwegian queen  was quite taken with them and thought they'd look good on the corps. The first time I saw them, I didn't know the story and I laughed outright. But I guess the Norwegian people are used to seeing a military unit parade wearing a tasseled bowler and nobody seems to think it strange except for visitors

I watched the live stream and Macron was directing the dignitaries towards the different cameras as they arrived, so I'd give him a pass here.

More on the hats, from Wikipedia:

One noteworthy detail of the uniform is the plumed bowler hat, which was copied from the hat of the Italian Bersaglieri troops—a regiment that so impressed the Swedish princess Louise (the great grandmother of King Harald V) that she insisted the Norwegian guards be similarly hatted in 1860. The regiment's cap badge is a rosette in the royal colours of Norway, with the monogram of the current monarch.

Haakon hosted afternoon tea for princess Astrid of Belgium who is leading a several hundred strong business delegation to Norway.

https://www.kongehuset.no...?tid=227597&sek=26939

 I do not understand this minimal attendance of the NRF for such a delegation because then it more or less looked like ML and Durek were the hosts when she was visiting a horse farm where Emma Talulah was riding

https://www.nrk.no/busker...ah-behn-i-lier-1.16928780

https://www.tv2.no/nyhete...-pa-norgesbesok/16774029/

Very poorly handled , Haakon or Mette-Marit could have joined her for the visit and certainly, even if Emma is one of the better riders in her age in the country, there are other riders that could have been shown so it did not look like this couple were the host when the King has said they should not represent

Princess Astrid is ageing very beautifully, like her mother, her wardrobe though must be amongst the most expensive, its dior and Chanel and other couture labels all the time. How is she funded? By the state or is her husband rich?

A bit of both probably. Astrid receives a yearly allowance of about €400k but from what I understand her husband has had a very a successful career in finance and is quite well off.

Haakon posted a thank you message for the greetings he got for his birthday, and he and his wife wishes everyone a great summer.
