State banquet for King Frederik X of Denmark during state visit to Norway 2024

Mary is a wonderful catch for the royals, her intelligence is much appreciated ❤❤

King Frederick borders on being rude to his wife the Queen. I’m afraid he’s becoming as cruel as his Dad was to his mother.

(Queen) Mary becomes more beautiful and elegant as time goes by...

Yeah, I wondered why the King didn't wait for his Queen.

Never mind we should wait and see . Queen Mary she’s very independent and very fit and healthy and so beautiful look amazingly.👍👏

I thought he would have waited for Queen Mary as she managed the plank in for evening gown!

Mary’s face looks strained… poor Mary… stay calm and pray. Just be patient…

Trevligt. Länge leve Danmarks, Sveriges och Norges kungahus

Why was the king rushing into the car without a thought to his Queen to see if she was coming along??😡

Le roi Frederik maintenant qu'il est roi Il fait comprendre a la reine Mary qu'il a pas besoin elle Mais la classe il n'en a pas il est stupide tout seul il ne s'en sortira pas la reine Mary est un femme exceptionnelle.est tres belle et intelligente.

Tak til Norge for at tage så flot imod vores nye Kongepar

Wonderful couple!!

Beautiful!

The King did take the seat further so that the Queen could board in easier. Rightfully he should have slowed down a bit. The chemistry between them not as good as before.

Bellissime tutti quanti 👍 👏👏👏

not like William who always stays close & watches out for Kate

Det var da vitterlig den danske Kongesang "Kong Christian stod ved højen mast" som ble spilt, og ikke den danske nasjonalsang "Det er et yndigt land" ?

24:49 HM King Harald's speech during the gala dinner at the Castle in honor of the state visit from Denmark on 14 May 2024. Your Majesties President of the Storting Supreme Court Justice Your Excellencies Dear guests Dear Frederik and Mary. It was a big moment for all of us when you Frederik went out on the balcony on 14 January. It was touching to experience the warmth and joy that connected you and the Danish people together at that moment. This moment I hope you will carry with you as a strength throughout your kingship. But the support of the people alone cannot carry a king. You also need to live in love with those closest to you. So when you were joined by your family on the balcony on this very special day, I hope you felt the strength needed. For the family is perhaps your most important support device. At least that's what I've experienced. Dear Mary, you took on a big task when you went and fell in love with this sporty Dane. You gave up a lot that was safe and familiar. You made Denmark and the Danes your own heartland and heartland. I know that you have also been a great support for our beloved Queen Margrethe. Just today the two of you have been married for 20 years - surely that deserves a round of applause? We think it's very nice that you chose to celebrate your wedding anniversary here with us tonight! During these years you have raised four wonderful children together – Christian, Isabella, Vincent and Josephine. The Crown Prince couple and Princess Ingrid Alexandra joined in celebrating Prince Christian, who has now become Crown Prince, his 18th birthday last year. The Queen and I are grateful that the close ties of family and friendship between our two families are also continued through new generations. It means a lot to all of us, I think. And of course we expect that you too will continue the tradition of spending lots of time in the Norwegian mountains and embracing the somewhat peculiar Norwegian sport of cross-country skiing! Your Majesties, dear guests, 32 years have passed since the Dannebrog last sailed into the Oslofjord on a state visit. Their visit coincides with us celebrating the 400th anniversary of the reconstruction of the city of Oslo, initiated by Danish King Christian Kvart after the great city fire. For 300 years, the Norwegian capital was named after the Danish king. So we have traces of you Danes everywhere! The fact that you came by sea is a reminder that the sea connects our two countries. This affects much of our history both as nations, as people and families. Every day, Danes and Norwegians board the Danskebåten, as we call it - you call it the Oslobåten, right? - in giddy anticipation of the delicious life in Denmark: Amusement parks and tall sandwiches, beautiful architecture - and a particularly nice people. Nowadays, when the Norwegian krone is so inferior to the Danish one, it is possibly at least as nice to be Danish in Norway..! The sea that connects us is of great importance to us all. In the sea lie hope and opportunities for the future. It is our shared responsibility to take care of the ocean that gives us so much. Keeping the sea fresh is one of the great tasks of our time. Dear friends, In the face of external threats, we search together, and become more aware of what unites us. The Nordic community of values ​​has become even stronger after Russia invaded Ukraine. Every day we are reminded of the value of peace and freedom. And about protecting our liberal democratic system of government. The Nordic countries are now united in a common defense alliance. Our history, our close political ties, shared values ​​and common language are resources we must manage well. We will constantly be put to the test - and then it is important to stick to our values ​​- secure in our own position. Your Majesties, dear Frederik and Mary, It is a great pleasure to have you visit. I wish you all the best for your important work. Both to you and to all of us, I want to say: Find your own party - and spend time tending to what is most important in life. We raise a toast to King Frederik and Queen Mary, and to the warm relationship between Denmark and Norway.

33:04 HM The King's speech at the gala dinner at the Royal Palace on 14 May 2024 Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, Prime Minister, Speaker of the Storting, Supreme Court Justice, Government, ladies and gentlemen. Queen Mary and I have been very much looking forward to visiting the Norwegian royal family, the Norwegian people and the Norwegian capital. Norway and Sweden are the natural first choices when a new Danish regent couple sets sail. We visit those closest to us first. Thank you for the kind words and the warm welcome on this beautiful spring day just three days before Norway's festive national day and in the year when Oslo turns 400 years old. Anniversaries or not, it's always great to visit Norway. It's like traveling out and finding home. Our kinship does not deny itself, and Danes and Norwegians understand each other. We speak the same language – literally and figuratively. And we are never on foreign soil when we meet - whether it happens on Danish or Norwegian soil. Or mountains for that matter. For Danes, year after year, they make a pilgrimage to Norway to ski, and in week 7 you often hear more Danish than Norwegian on many slopes. The beautiful and wild Norwegian nature attracts Danes as well as Norwegians, and we, like you, are always up for a challenge in the great outdoors. For my own part, I clearly remember the 'Birkebeinerrennet' as a great natural experience and a personal victory - even though I had to see myself beaten in time by Crown Prince Haakon two years in a row and even hear that his skis lacked "lubrication". Despite the distance on the 'Birkebeineren', our two nations are characterized by a close pair race. Familial and friendly ties bind our countries together across generations. In recent times, TV series such as SKAM about life at Nissen Gymnasium have also brought our young people together in front of the screens. A lot has happened since Fleksnes. Norway is almost the Nordic champion in youth series, and today the majority of Danish youth know the meaning of "are you kidding?" and "serr?". Prince Sverre Magnus and Crown Prince Christian finish their high school years this summer, because our families are also followed in the next step. It must be festive. Arriving in Oslo on the Dannebrog was not only festive, but historic. Our two countries are proud maritime nations with port cities as capitals. In Norway and Denmark, the coast is never far, and for many years we had an easier time getting there by sea than by land. The sea was and is a huge resource. Both in Oslo and in Copenhagen, the harbor environment is flourishing, and residents are by, in or on the water in all seasons in Oslo Fjord and the Port of Copenhagen. But as life-giving as water is, it can be just as challenging in a time when the climate is changing and water levels are rising. We need solutions that shield the water without cutting us off from it. Here, our two capitals stand out with new sustainable architecture and green urban spaces. Vannkunsten Bjørvika is an example of an award-winning Danish-Norwegian collaboration, where nature, mountains and archipelago have inspired the design and choice of materials. A historic part of Oslo has been transformed into a modern haven. Mary and I look forward to experiencing Østmarka and the urban development here in Oslo tomorrow and feeling firsthand the peace and well-being that nature imparts to the pulse of the city. Our capitals have a lot in common, and good solutions in one city can usually be used in the other – and even further. New paths to a green transition are necessary for us and for the world around us. In the Nordic region, we have set ourselves the goal of leading the way and becoming the world's most sustainable and integrated region by the year 2030. This is ambitious and will not happen by itself. It will require changes in our production and a greater awareness of ensuring the balance between using and preserving nature's resources. But if anyone has the prerequisites to succeed, it's us. Some of the prerequisites are already being created at MiNaLab in Oslo Science City, which we visited today. Developments in micro- and nanotechnology are moving fast, and the potential is promising. In the laboratories, for example, materials are tailored that can make solar cells far more energy efficient in the future. The less energy loss, the better energy extraction and the more energy per sunbeam. Technological progress is essential to our 2030 goal, and our opportunity to succeed increases when the best of both our countries are brought into play in the laboratories. It was almost as if the sun was already warming a little extra after the cooperation agreement on quantum technology between the University of Oslo and the Niels Bohr Institute was signed earlier today. For quantum technology is a superpower when it comes to development within the green transition, the development of new medicine as well as defense and security. We need each other. We feel this especially in times of unrest and uncertainty in Europe. Norway and Denmark have stood shoulder to shoulder in NATO since 1949. Today, 75 years later, we still stand here, but now with the rest of the Nordic countries by our side. With Finland and Sweden's membership of NATO, we are united in one and the same defense alliance. It strengthens the Nordic countries, and it strengthens Europe. Europe's reality has changed. Russia's attack on Ukraine is unfortunate proof that peace and freedom can never be taken for granted. The war is back on our continent. We would have preferred to be apart of it, but we face it by rearming, sending weapons to the front and moving together with like-minded people. Denmark and Norway are almost like-minded. Historically, for long periods it has not made sense at all to distinguish between being Norwegian and being Danish. Just take Ludvig Holberg, the Nordic Molière, who was born in Bergen and moved to Copenhagen to study. He was the great Danish-Norwegian writer of the 18th century and was read even outside the borders of the Commonwealth. He left his mark on both our countries with comedy and satire and paved the way for the free public debate that characterizes our nations today. In a time of accelerating misinformation, we as Holberg must insist on the democratic conversation and on information in the fight for what we believe in. Your Majesty, dear Harald. "All for Norway" is your language of choice, as it was your father's and your grandfather's. Three words that capture the dedication of three generations. If anyone, you have taken the words on yourself. You have given everything, and when there was no more to give, Crown Prince Haakon and the rest of your family stepped in. Your togetherness has meant everything in a difficult time. For decades you have reigned side by side with my mother, Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II, and I know that you have both treasured your partnership. For me, it is a very special joy to be able to stand here today and at the same time send the warmest greetings from my mother. Your Majesties, dear Uncle Harald and Aunt Sonja. Mary and I always look forward to visiting Norway. We 'enjoy ourselves' with you and the Crown Prince Couple, because we are not just neighbors and colleagues, but family and friends. Our countries share values, culture and history, and the Danish-Norwegian ties are as strong as few. Mary and I will do everything in our power, now and in the future, to cherish all that binds us together. I raise a toast to Norway and the Norwegian people, to the Norwegian Royal House and to Their Majesties King Harald and Queen Sonja with the wish of happiness and prosperity for both our countries.
