On the evening of June 17, local time, the main members of the european royal family gathered in Oslo, the capital of Norway, to celebrate the 18th birthday of the country's princess, Ingrid Alexandra.
In fact, Ingrid Alexandra has come of age as early as January this year, but at that time because of the epidemic, it was impossible to hold a large-scale celebration, and now there is finally a chance for a "big reunion", which is also a long-lost time for Members of the European royal family to take a big group photo together.
Sitting in the most prominent position is, of course, King Harald V of Norway and Queen Sonya, and Ingrid Alexandra is their eldest granddaughter, who will become queen of Norway in the future.
Just before the dinner party, the official 18-year-old photo of Ingrid Alexandra was also released, and the princess wearing four royal medals looked very youthful and energetic, and her appearance was also very good, and there was a bit of a British Princess Kate between her eyebrows.
18 years of age not only means adulthood, but also marks that Ingrid Alexandra can finally perform royal duties on behalf of her king grandfather, for which the little princess also wears the crown for the first time.
The crown once belonged to the Swedish Princess Engelberg, the mother of Harald V and the great-grandmother of Ingrid Alexandra. It is reported that this crown has been sealed in Norway for many years, and has never been worn on the head of the little princess's mother, Princess Mete-Mariete, or the princess's aunt, Princess Martha Louise, waiting to be left to the future queen, Norway's first queen in six centuries.
At the banquet, Ingrid Alexander, the first heroine, gave a thank-you speech, from grandparents to two brothers (the brother is a half-brother), which was really comprehensive, but also praised the country in which she lived, and said that she wanted to work with everyone to "create the Norway we love deeply".
Although Ingrid Alexandra is a well-deserved "star", two other European princesses of about the same age as her have also become the focus of attention, especially the three princesses have rarely staged a scene of the same frame.
The three newly adult princesses are all dressed up gorgeously, but they also have their own beauty, of course, "if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight", their "supreme road" is not easy, even if it is only the nominal monarch, but it also has to pay a lot of efforts.
Princess Catherine Amalia of the Netherlands, wearing a watermelon pink shawl evening dress, inheriting the burly characteristics of her parents, looks very graceful, although she has not yet inherited the throne, but she is already quite kingly in appearance.
Catherine Amalia came of age last December, but this visit to a dinner in Norway was also her first appearance with a crown. The crown she wore was worn by her queen mother, Maxima, when she was married, and received a gift from her mother-in-law, then Queen Beatrix-Wilhelmina of the Netherlands.
Catherine Amalia arrived in Oslo with her parents, and the heir of the Orange-Nassau family took the arm of King Felipe VI of Spain and entered the banquet hall, which was very eye-catching.
Felipe VI, 54, arrived in Oslo alone, and Neither Queen Letizia nor their two daughters appeared.
Princess Elizabeth, the eldest of three princesses from Belgium, is currently studying at Oxford University at the age of 20 and speaks not only French and German, but also English and Dutch, and even Chinese. And if Elizabeth can inherit the throne as scheduled, she will become the first queen in Belgian history.
It is reported that although Elizabeth has been an adult for 2 years, this is also the first time she has worn the crown. It is reported that the crown on Elizabeth's head is not like what others wear, it is an antique, and her one is newly made, because the "jewelry box" of the Belgian royal family is small, and there are not many crowns in the collection.
In the same frame of the three future queens of Europe, there are also two cute babies, Princess Estella from Sweden (10 years old) and Prince Charles from Luxembourg (2 years old), in fact, these two children are also future monarchs. Estella, who was not yet an adult, could not wear a crown and could only choose a flower headband, which was not only the same as her own skirt, but also matched the floral skirt of her mother, Princess Victoria.
