  • King Haakon VIII traveled from the palace toward the Norwegian parliament as the royal chair was prepared for his appearance.
  • Queen Mette-Marit withdrew shortly beforehand because of her health, and her chair was removed.
  • A smaller princess’s chair remained beside the king’s chair in the parliamentary chamber.

King Haakon VIII sat alone in the back seat of the car traveling from the palace toward Norway’s parliament.

Inside the chamber, the king’s chair had been placed for the occasion. A chair for Queen Mette-Marit stood beside it briefly, but officials removed it after she withdrew because of her health.

The smaller princess’s chair remained next to the king’s large chair. She glanced briefly at her father, as if wondering whether she too should stand.
