“Your Majesty!
It is with great sadness that my family and I have received the news of King Harald’s passing. A heavy blow has struck Norway.
“Dear Haakon!
Queen Sonja, you and the entire family have been in our thoughts since the news of his death. Today you have formally ascended the Norwegian throne, and I want to be one of the first to express my warmest wishes for success to you and Queen Mette-Marit for the great task that now lies before you.
“Dear godson!

It is my hope that you feel great support from your godfather, from your Swedish family and from the entire Swedish people as you now assume your high office as King of Norway.”
Just when I thought I had my tears under control (until the next poignant photo if Queen Sonja is published), they, are f!owing again at this hear felt message of support for King Haakon from his Godfather and neighbour.
