Norwegian Royal News

[Queen’s Tea]

I love seeing the smiles.  They’ve had a rough time, and it makes me happy to see them all enjoying each other’s company.  Maybe a good sign that Durek isn’t there?

The King looks rather frail, but happy. He probably has much better info on corona than most. Perhaps all the worrying has taken it's toll on him. I hope being with his grandchildren will help him get back to normal.

Having an american photographed with the royals in the current situation and with the travel advise of the goverment would be so unwise.... the royal house has been saying it is vacation in Norway for now... At their summerhouses and they will make a trip with the royal yacht.

I assume the doorbell on the table is to summon staff

I had wondered who took the photo (butler?) and then realised ML's youngest daughter isn't pictured.

SO glad Shame-man can't travel right now!

I agree it would be in poor form, but then Martha Louise sometimes makes questionable decisions.  Good point though!

The Scandinavians really know how to set an al fresco summer table. Speaking from experience. They really know how to make the most of summer weather, although it looks a little chilly, but not raining.

If ML's daughter isn't in the photo, I suspect she is the one who took the photo.

The doorbell might be an emergency device as it is directly in front of the King.

Leah is very Jennifer Aniston alike. She looks very different from her parents and sisters.  Where does she get this tall. small bone slender frame from ?

Very nice to see all the family together! Lovely photos and everyone looks very well and in high spirits!!!!
The best part is that shaman is not there and ML is with her actual family - and she looks relaxed and happy!

That's a lovely group and table what a nice open air lunch. Glad Derek wasn't there.
