    Amazing and beautiful lady, but with her husband’s poor health I wish in this century we would encourage all monarchs to retire and enjoy life a little. Her son is ready. LRB

      We, the Norwegian people want our King and Queen to reign as long as they want themselves. Can you please stop this. Would appreciate it. Thank you.

      @ LRB Queen Sonja and the King are the only people who can judge this and decide what is the best for them and their family. I agree with Anonymous 11:23 : it is not up to anybody to give an opinion of what other people should do. There might always be a reason they decide one way and not the other way.

    Merveilleuse Reine Sonja
    Caroline et Sonja 20 ans les séparent
    Caroline fait plus âgée que Sonja qui a encore une très belle allure. Un visage rayonnant. Elle porte toute la douceur dans son sourire

    A perfect example of a European modern queen. She was a beauty when she was a young bride, wife and mother. Now that she has the age of 87 years, she is still a beautiful woman, mother and grandmother and above all a wonderful Queen. Happy birthday.

    First photo (not dated, no clue when it was taken) she has a large bruise on the palm of her hand. Hope all is well. She is a lovely soul, inside and out.

      That's not a bruise, only bad lightening.
