Letizia says no to her forbidden place and leaves Felipe alone

There are only a few hours left until Ingrid Alexandra from Norway organize a gala dinner to celebrate your 18th birthday. It was last January when he blew out the candles, but the rise in Covid infections at the time made his family decide to postpone the celebration. The time has come. Oslo’s Royal Palace opens its doors this Friday to receive Europe’s most distinguished royalties and to whet your appetite, the local Royal Household has published the official guest list for one of the pre-eminent royal events of the year. Among the participants list will be a Spanish presence, but not everything that was initially expected.

Don Felipe travels alone to Norway same Friday. That day he must fulfill his obligations as monarch. It will be in the morning, to preside at the Colosseum Theater in Madrid, the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the multinational law firm Uría Menéndez. Then he takes a flight to the Norwegian capital. We must not forget that his daughter, Leonor de Borbón, from Wales, where she finished first in secondary school, was able to return to Spain that same day, so perhaps it would be too rushed to catch another plane to go to the north of the continent. For whom it will be a hectic day, at least for Felipe VI.

Princess Leonor was also invited to the gala dinner for Ingrid Alexandra’s birthday. Same as her sister Sofia and her mother, Doña Letizia. However, none of the three accepted the proposal, so it will be the king traveling alone to Oslo. Had we been there, we would have seen the Spanish princess and infanta’s first coming out before other young European monarchs. A postcard that will have to wait.

The situation in Felipe’s case is different, as the baptism godfather from the eldest daughter of Haakon and Mette-Marit from Norway. He didn’t even miss his confirmation in 2019. But there are those who wonder why his wife will not accompany him. It should be remembered that Doña Letizia and her namesake in Norway are not as closely related as their husbands.

The party in honor of Ingrid is organized by the kings of Norway, Harald and Sonia. The birthday boy or girl is expected to wear the Boucheron Pearl Circle Tiara† Needless to say, in addition to her two brothers, Marius Borg and Prince Sverre Magnus, the princess is also being taken care of by her parents. Names added are those of his maternal grandmother, Marit Tjessem, his great-aunt, Princess Astrid, King Harald’s sister, as well as Princess Marta Luisa and her daughters, Maud Angelica, Leah Isadora, and Emma Tallulah. Here is the need to emphasize that, since the marriage union between Marta Luisa and Durek Verrett was made official, the shaman is one of the select guests.

In addition to the Norwegian royal family, Frederick and Mary of Denmark will join the table at Oslo Palace; Victoria and Daniel from Sweden, who are accompanying their children Estelle and Oscar; Guillermo and Máxima of the Netherlands, with their daughter, Princess Amalia; Matilda of Belgium with her daughter Princess Elisabeth, William and Stéphanie of Luxembourg, with their son Charles; Pablo and Marie-Chantal from Greece with three of their children; Kyrill from Bulgaria, with his daughters Mafalda and Olimpia, accompanied by his mother, Rosario Nadal, as well as members of the Norwegian government and other important faces.
