From the NRF

The Danish and Norwegian royal families are close ties. A relationship that dates back to when the Danish Prince Carl was elected King of Norway in 1905, and was named King Haakon VII. His brother became King Christian X of Denmark a few years later.

The ties have since been tight, both between the countries and the two royal families. Queen Margrethe has spent a snowy holiday in Norway, King Frederik was best man in the wedding of the Crown Prince couple and both Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit are the godfather of Denmark's Crown Prince Christian, while King Fredrik is the godfather of Princess Ingrid Alexandra.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, we are looking forward to receiving the Danish royal couple on a state visit to Norway! 🇩🇰🤝🏼

The royal couple suddenly appeared at the harbor in Hornbæk - Only 10 people noticed it
People in Hornbæk widened their eyes when the royal couple suddenly appeared on the harbor on Monday morning. From here they were sailed out to the Royal Ship - and now the course is set for Norway, where there is a state visit in the coming days.
