Crown Prince Haakon of Norway is in Liberac in the Czech Republic to cheer on the Norwegian participants in the World Championships in Skiing. Today, he got to observe Norwegian gold and silver in the sprint, and award flowers and some positive words to the winner, Ola Vigen Hattestad. Vigen Hattestad will have dinner with the Crown Prince tonight.
At the same time, when the engagement was announced, the Crown Prince was badgered for a comment, and replied: “Oh, well, that’s nice.”
