Thanks for posting. The King certainly has not lost any of his wonderful humour and the Crown Prince's delivery was funny.
I had to smile when I remember the King's greeting to Queen Margrethe at Toldboden :- "I bow before you..." -- what a quick wit he has.

Crown Prince Haakon joined his mother Queen Sonja for the annual banquet hosting the Norwegian government and MPs tonight. King Harald is on sick leave:

Also present were Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Princess Astrid:

Crown Prince Haakon had to step in for his father on short notice, and read the speech written by his father. The King´s speeches are usually quite funny for this event, and this time it was even more amusing as it had not been changed for his son who thus had to speak about himself and his mother in his father's words. For those who can understand Norwegian, it is included in the video here:
