Condolences
Condolences from His Majesty King Harald to His Majesty King Charles III.
Your Majesty King Charles III,
My family and I are deeply saddened to receive the news that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has passed away.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Your Majesty and the members of the Royal Family.
For nearly a century, Her Majesty devoted her life to the service of the Commonwealth, following the British people through good days and bad, in times of happiness and sorrow. We send our deepest condolences to the British people on the loss of their beloved Queen.
On a personal note, I am mourning the loss of a dear relative and confidant friend.
My family and I wish Your Majesty and your family all the strength and comfort you need in this time of grief.
Harald R

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.
