During the evening, King Harald, Queen Sonja, Crown Prince Haakon, Crown Princess Mette-Marit, Marit Tjessem, and the President of the Storting held speeches to celebrate Princess Ingrid Alexandra.
In her own speech, which you can read here and watch below, Princess Ingrid Alexandra said: “We are lucky to live in a country that is constantly evolving. Where we trust each other and our authorities. In Norway, we are concerned about climate. We are concerned with diversity. We are concerned with freedom of expression. And most importantly, we are concerned with continuing to find better solutions than the ones we already have. We all have a place in this society. We are different, we have been given different roles, and we know different things. Together we create the Norway we love so much.”
