All I’ll remember is that bloody door 😝 seriously that should have been sorted BEFORE Dinner 😱

[@ruralor]

Haha, true, but also funny to see that not everything goes as planned, not even at royal banquets.

Totalmente de acuerdo contigo, fue la que más llamo la atención 😆🚪( poseída)

[@sammartland932]

I loved the little drama with the door.

This is Old Europe! Don't you know that "The Door Which Will Not Stay Open" is an ancient, 1,000 year-old tradition, which cannot be changed? The legend is that if the door ever opens completely, Norway will fall!

[@tomlarge3065]

Someone please fix that door.

0:33 "Er det den andre TV-kanalen som ingen ser på?"😂

[@ruralor]

Hehe, ja. Generelt foretrekker jeg faktisk NRK da, definitivt. Arkivene der er helt fantastiske. De er uten sidestykke! Men på noen sånn kongelig/kjedis-ting hender det Tv2 dekker noen småting bedre enn det NRK gjør. Og akkurat denne dagen var det jo naturlig nok det jævla pil-og-bue-angrepet som tok opp hele nyhetsbildet.

Why is it so hard for non-native English speakers to pronounce "th"? Bless... Now I understand where our New York accent came from, the Dutch settlers. "Dis and dat" for "this and that", etc.

You're down Harald, you have been ousted by my coup

[@ruralor]

If it only was that simple to make a coup, I would've done it long ago.😜

[@ablackpencil8249]

This should be private! 😐 no cameras

[@ruralor]

Private? This is not a private dinner party, it is a State banquet, to strengthen the relations between Norway and the Netherlands. All branches of government are present. It is also broadcasted on national TV.

[@ablackpencil8249]

@@ruralor I disagree. Should be private anyway.

[@ruralor]

@@ablackpencil8249 Why? The cameras are cut after the official speaches are made.

The Queen of Norway looks ridiculous in the green frock.

[@beantrader4723]

Who R they? Their sort of fashion models. How so? Well, they pretend we're all common & their not & everyone in the country forks over part of every pay check by way of taxes then they buy a bunch of clothes, watches, diamonds, property, food, booze, horse's, dogs, cars, trips, parties, entrance into polo, tennis, golf clubs then they pretend they have it all including perfect luv lives, they show off what they spend the tax money on then wave, smile, smell flowers & sometimes talk to a kid. How do they get away with that? Because the people let them

[@ruralor]

Their 'wages' (the royal appanache) is set by the Parliament. If you think they earn too much, you can vote for a party that want to reduce it. This is a democratic process. I agree that in for example the UK, it is insane how much money they waste on the monarchy. Here in Norway however, the monarchy is relatively cheap. Probably cheaper than many presidents. They often wear the same dresses. The diamonds are inherrited from generation to generation. The royal castle, the king's summer estate as well as the royal yacht are all owned by the State, not by the king. There are no horses either, wich I honestly think is abit sad. We have a few royal carriges, but no horses to pull them. The horses were sold off by the Germans who occupied the castle during WWII. After that the Parliament never deemed it necessary.

[@perberger809]

You're not Norwegian so you have no say in this. Go away.
