On the Royal Palace’s website, you can keep track of what is going on at any time official program the various members of the royal family have.
The calendar shows everything from royal baptisms, state visits and official trips abroad. Program items such as company visits and cord-cutting are added here.
The calendar also tells who has an official audience at the castle, and not least who receives the audiences. Cabinet meetings, which the King normally holds every Friday, are also listed in the calendar.

What is unusual now is that the Palace has published four program entries without it being stated who is presenting from the royal family.

Normally, it is King Harald (87) who invites to an audience and holds cabinet meetings. In addition, Crown Prince Haakon (50) is used to being present. If the king is prevented from participating, either due to illness or travel abroad, it is Haakon who, in his capacity as crown prince regent, steps in.

Hole in the calendar
Next week, between 22 and 29 April, it is not listed who will meet the Minister of Defence, the head of the Home Guard and the Minister of Foreign Affairs in audience. Nor does it say who stands for minister.

– Next week, the royal calendar is filled with a number of assignments without it being stated who will carry them out. I don’t remember seeing this before, but maybe it has something to do with the fact that they don’t know if the king is back for good or not, says Se og Hørs royal house expert Caroline Vagle.
– The king is on sick leave until Monday next week, but it may be extended. But that is for the life doctor and no one else to decide, says Vagle.

Will consider extension
Se og Hør has contacted the Palace for an explanation, and the reason why the points are not named is because it is simply not known whether King Harald’s sick leave will be extended.
– The king is currently on sick leave until Monday 22 April, and in advance of this it will be assessed whether the sick leave should be extended or whether the king is ready to return to work, writes press officer Sara Svanemyr in an email to Se og Hør.
Thus, there may be a further extension of King Harald’s sick note.

Sonja met the press
Earlier today, it became known that King Harald was on the road to recovery:
– Things are going much, much better. It’s going well, said Queen Sonja (86) during a visit to Skaun in Trøndelag.

Queen Sonja and King Harald were to visit the municipality, as one of the very last in the country that has not had an official visit by King Harald as king. This was the third time in the last year that an attempt was made to get the visit to …
According to Sonja, the residents can probably expect another royal visit before too long:
– As I say: All good things come in three, the fourth comes with it, she said NRK.
King Harald is 87 years old, and well over the normal retirement age in Norway. Nevertheless, he gives everything for Norway at an advanced age, which impresses many.

It is common for the royal house to surprise
– Usually, it always says who will carry out the assignments. However, it happens that there are more than those listed. For example, the crown prince joined the crown princess and the queen at the former’s tissue symposium last week. Probably because he wanted to support his wife at an event that was important to her, and saw that time was running out, says Vagle – and adds:

– It also happens that the children show up with their parents at work, even if it is not listed in the official calendar, concludes Se og Hør’s royal house expert.
