Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
The public mourning period for the King Harald V of Norway, who passed away on Friday, continued this weekend and into Monday with a series of ceremonies in Oslo and throughout the country.
The world woke this morning to the news that King Harald V of Norway has died in Oslo at the age of 89. His was a life marked both by tumult and intense love, and his passing means that the Norwegian people will have a new monarch for the first time since 1991. Today, in his honor, I’ve got a look at the accession council that just took place in Oslo, as well as some key moments in the life of Europe’s oldest reigning monarch.
Twenty-five years ago today, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Norway were married in a glittering ceremony in Oslo Cathedral. In honor of their silver wedding anniversary today, I’ve got a peek inside an exhibition that marked the milestone at the Royal Palace this summer.
Following her recent return to Norway, Princess Ingrid Alexandra headed out last week for a visit to one of Oslo’s favorite childhood holiday destinations, wearing a pair of earrings from a classic American jewelry firm.
On Sunday, the Norwegian royal family joined in the celebrations of the country’s national holiday, with bejeweled appearances in Oslo, Asker—and Australia.
