Thursday informs The government that the 18th anniversary be postponed.
– A special time
– Government Day is a big event in the lives of all young people. This applies not least to an heir to the throne who is to represent Norway and the Norwegian people. I had looked forward to celebrating Princess Ingrid Alexandra on Government Day, but unfortunately the infection situation does not make it possible now. I still hope she has a nice celebration with her loved ones, says Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
As the princess is heir to the throne, and will one day inherit the Norwegian throne, her official day is an anniversary in Norwegian history.
