Phantom 2,531 Posted February 20, 2023 MN Gov Tim Walz paid a visit yesterday 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Comped 525 Posted February 20, 2023 2 hours ago, Phantom said: MN Gov Tim Walz paid a visit yesterday Well, that's one way to get a free vacation... Few hours of work, then a load of receptions at which the food and drinks are paid for. Plus first or business there and back. Not sure if Minnesota's gov has a plane which could make the trip privately, so would have likely been commercial (maybe leased, but I doubt the cost is reasonable). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heiheiheihei 104 Posted March 20, 2023 Yesterday King Harald and his older sister Princess Astrid, Mrs. Ferner, were present during the World Championship final in biathlon in Holmenkollen. They congratulated the winners. King Harald and Princess Atrird's booth looked good. If you look closely at the king's shoes, you can see him wearing the popular moonboots. It has become a tradition for the Norwegian royal family to wear these shoes when they are out and about in the snow. Princess Astrid and Queen Sonja have also been seen wearing these shoes. Even though she is 91 years old, Princess Astrid still performs royal duties. She attends state dinners, various meetings, and other activities with other members of the royal family. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,695 Posted June 15, 2023 Meets Margrethe II of Denmark (and also falls down to the ground on the red carpet). Looks great for someone who's been in and out of hospital on IV meds recently. Right after getting helped up: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sod's Law 444 Posted February 27 I'm amazed how he's easily in a worse state than other recently abdicated monarchs (including those who abdicated 10 years ago like Juan Carlos) but still shows no signs of relinquishing the throne. He makes the former Danish queen seem like a professional jogger in her twenties in comparison. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I agree, he's in far worse condition than most of the others, he only just recovered from a prior infection and this is now his 4th or 5th hospitalization within the last 2 years. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
