Christmas photos
This afternoon, the Royal Family was gathered by the Christmas tree in "Røde salong" for Christmas photographs.
There are several Christmas trees at the Royal Palace, but the one in "Røde salong" is probably one of the most beautiful. Today, Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus helped make it even prettier.

Welcoming the Restauration to the US
His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon, along with a couple of thousand attendees, welcomed the sloop Restauration to New York, exactly 200 years after the vessel carrying Norwegian emigrants arrived in the United States. In 1825, they crossed the Atlantic in search of a new and better life. This voyage is regarded as the beginning of organised emigration from Norway.
Met with Governor Walz in Minnesota
Minnesota is one of the states in the United States where a large proportion of the population has Norwegian ancestry. His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon is therefore also visiting this state and its largest metropolitan area, Minneapolis–Saint Paul, during his trip to the United States to mark the 200th anniversary of Norwegian emigration to the US.
