European royals gathered at the Royal Palace in Oslo to celebrate the 18th birthday of Princess Ingrid Alexandra. Before the gala dinner, new photos were taken, one of which shows four future Queens of Europe and a future Grand Duke. Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands, Princess Elisabeth of Belgium, Princess Estelle of Sweden, Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Charles of Luxembourg.
The gala dinner also became the first tiara moment for Princess Ingrid Alexandra, Princess Catharina-Amalia and Princess Elisabeth. Princess Ingrid Alexandra wore a purple dress and the Boucheron Circlet Pearl Tiara, which originally belonged to her great-great-grandmother Princess Ingeborg of Sweden. While Princess Estelle wore a floral headband that matched her blue dress. Princess Catharina Amalia wore the Dutch Star Tiara while Princess Elisabeth wore a sparkler that hasn't been seen before.
A photo showing Princess Ingrid Alexandra with her grandparents, parents and siblings was also taken. King Harald, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, Queen Sonja, Marit Tjessem, Crown Princess Mette-Marit, Crown Prince Haakon, Prince Sverre Magnus and Marius Borg Høiby.
In the Small Hall of the Royal Palace, a photo showing the Norwegian Royal Family with their royal guests from abroad was taken.

Hmm..they were released yesterday before the party....
ReplyDeleteIs there a problem with taking pictures before a party while everyone looks at his best, and releasing them immediately so that readers, here and in the press, can somehow be with them ?
DeleteNope. I was just being funny since it sounded like they just was released and quite suprised why she didn't put them on print yesterday when they was released that's all.
DeleteThe pictures are all pre-banquet, and that is because petite Prince Charles did not attend the dinner but then had to go to bed (a nanny provided, I guess). So the major photography was done before.
DeleteQueen Sonia is usually attributed very positive comments on her clothing style, IMV the choice of this garish yellow is not good. It looks as if she wanted to draw the attention on herself.
ReplyDeleteClearly Q.S. loves this “ Big Bird “ dress. Ingrid Alexandra would have seen it many times over the years and I wonder if she asked her grandmother to wear it? (V.M.)
DeleteThe yellow dress is not new. She has it for a rather long time.
DeleteWhat colour do you suggest?
DeleteWhat a lovely photo! Princess Ingrid has grown up into a lovely young woman, really beautiful. I have always thought Princess Estelle was delightful and I still do.

So nice to see young royals in their tiaras! Baby Charles is so well-behaved! Oh how I wish Princess Leonor and Prince Christian were there.
ReplyDelete-Daphne-
My sentiments too, probably busy with school.💕
DeleteI love how each of the young princesses has her own style here. Ingrid Alexandra in a simple minimal look, Elizabeth in a feminine, ruffled confection, and Catharina Amalia in an elegant caped gown (worn with a spectacular diamond necklace!). In spite of the stylistic differences it’s great to see how natural and beautiful they all are. Yes there’s makeup, but it’s subtle. This is a lovely portrait of future monarchs. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call Princess Elisabeth's Armani dress "confection" !!!! Never heard of haute couture ?
DeleteIt think princess Elisabeth will copy her mother queen Mathilde. Never wear too much jewelry, but one or two beautiful pieces at the time.
DeleteI can’t wait for the next chapter in 10 years time when Amalia, IA, Leonor and Elisabeth are in loving relationships! 🥰🥰
DeleteMillie
The picture of the younger generation of princes/princesses is lovely.
ReplyDeleteJe croyais qu’elle avait donné cette horrible robe à un musée .
ReplyDeleteLa couleur jaune vif a l'air d'être aimée par la reine Sonja ; en effet, même si c'est rare, je crois me rappeler qu'elle l'a déjà portée à l'occasion de soirées officielles !
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the five youngsters belongs to the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen on this side.
ReplyDeleteYes, and little Charles is just adorable 😍
DeleteI agree, Coralie! Pics 1 and 2 may be some of the best photos of royals.
DeleteNot long ago, these young ladies were babies, and now 3 have joined the royal tiara club. How time flies…
Each youngster seems thrilled to help P Ingrid celebrate her big day. These are super fun events for fans of royal fashion.
Вера💚🦋
I agree!
DeleteI have just listened to Ingrid Alexandra' s emotional speech at the Gala Bouquet.
ReplyDeleteIt can be found on YouTube.
Great, just great, from this sensational young lady and future Queen.
Yes a very lovely young lady; she speaks with a lot spontaneity, and shows maturity.
Delete... speech Ingrid Alexandra: https://youtu.be/gsGkpNSGKdE
DeleteSuch wonderful photos! The pictures of the four future queens is iconic! And so cute how they look at adorable little Charles.
ReplyDeleteThe familyphoto and the grouphotos are very nice too, I like, how hands on Ingrid Alexandra seems to be with her grandparents.
Love the photo of the future sovereigns. Although you have a mix of first and second in line to the respective thrones it's lovely to see them together.
ReplyDeleteP. Estelle is absolutely delightful!! Perfect look for a young lady!!
ReplyDeleteThe picture of all the princesses looking at little Charles is adorable. Rossie
ReplyDeleteI agree ! one of the most natural and beautiful photos ever!
DeleteFantastic photos. Love the one of the future monarchs. These young princesses have grown quickly. Lucky girls to be wearing tiaras . Mary
ReplyDeleteLucky to wear tiaras, maybe for the outsider. I would not be in their place, what a responsibility at a young age. Next month, I heard CP Elisabeth returns to the Royal Military Academy to finish some courses.
DeleteI just read the translation of Pss I Alexandra's speech. It was articulate, heartfelt and moving. It reinforces how wonderful, impressive and what a real asset she is. The photos are beautiful, the young royal ladies all looked splendid. Little Prince Charles, what a delight he is, adorable little one. Pss Estelle, she is growing up beautifully.
ReplyDeleteWhere are Prince Christian and Princess Leanor? Wouldn’t they have been included in this group? They are crown princes. Maybe they couldn’t make it.
ReplyDeleteJust Asking
Of course they would. Maybe they couldn't be there because of school.
DeleteThese young Pss are fantastic. I like the 4 future Queens and the little Prince Charles, who one day be the GD of Luxembourg, this little sweetheart sat so brave on the chair Beauty brains and compassion, one could not ask for more..
ReplyDeleteLove the second picture. They all see to be enjoying the photshoot
ReplyDeleteThe second photo has been added later on. Such a charmning pic of the four princesses smiling an being totally enchanted by cute little prins Charles!
DeleteI really like the way European Royalty comes together as 'family'.

Excluding BRF
DeleteWall to wall tiaras;how sweet. The ladies dresses look nice and bright and cheery;looks like they are having fun.You must admit the royals keep us entertained;look at it like this ;the dresses are like fancy Christmas wrapping,we know that they can't keep pomping around all the time;as it is not sustainable, and when the music stops they are just like you and I sad ,happy depressed and sometimes unforfilled.Give me a good barbeque anyday, with my mates in the outback, under a stary sky;until then you haven't lived;no phones no facebook no tweeting only the universe.(Tabby)
ReplyDeleteI would love to see behind-the-scenes of this 💖
ReplyDeleteMary looks like a dream — glorious dress ❤️ Jane
