No banquet for Crown Princess Victoria, but was there a banquet for Crown Prince Carl Gustaf when he turned 21?
And can anyone confirm whether there were foreign royals at the banquets in Denmark for Frederik and Joachim? I hope they were now inspired to give a banquet for Prince Christian
My guess ist thar Prince Sverre Magnus 18th biorthday will be handed differently. This was also the case for his confirmation. After all her is no HRH like Princess Märtha Louise was when she turned 18.
Thank you for highlighting this, as I was about to do the same.
A dinner was also held at the Royal Palace back in 1924 when Crown Prince Olav, later King Olav V, reached 21 years of age. It was a grand occasion with most of the official Norway represented. So it is a tradition I hope will continue!
Even Princess Märtha Louise's 18th birthday was celebrated with a gala dinner at the Royal Palace hosted by her grandfather King Olav V. So I am really hoping that Prince Sverre Magnus will not be treated differently compared to his sister (after all, she is not yet first in line to the throne) and aunt - though something tells me that I am probably hoping in vain.
As for the dinners in Denmark; as we have seen Queen Margrethe's own 18th birthday was also celebrated in grand style with a gala dinner. On the other hand, from what I can remember, Prince Joachim's 18th birthday was just celebrated with a "mere" black-tie dinner.
And I still remember my great disappointment over the realization that no grand banquet was held for Crown Princess Victoria when she turned 18.
