After the royal mourning period ends on October 9, the Norwegian royals will gradually resume their official program.

In addition to constitutional duties and regular program items, His Majesty the King will conduct thematic visits in key areas such as democracy, nature and the environment, business, defense, and inclusion in the coming period. The King will also invite groups from different strata of society to meetings throughout the autumn and winter.

There will be no major official trips or state visits during the autumn and winter. Work on changes resulting from the abdication will mean that some time will be spent on internal processes in the time ahead.

Her Majesty the Queen is still in rehabilitation after her lung transplant and will initially have no official program until next summer.

Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra will continue to prioritize her studies and will participate in some official occasions until she returns to Australia to start her studies in February. 

Queen Sonja will continue to carry out official assignments where she represents the Royal House
