Postponed birthday

The government’s planned gift to the princess was a gala dinner at Oslo’s new library Deichman Bjørvika on Thursday 20 January, with music and other cultural elements.
Broad participation from all over the country was planned, especially by young people.

– Government Day is a big event in the lives of all young people. This applies not least to a heir to the throne who will represent Norway and the Norwegian people, said Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre on 16 December last year.
He said that he had looked forward to celebrating Princess Ingrid Alexandra on Government Day, but that it was not possible to carry it out now.
– I still hope she has a nice celebration with her loved ones, he said.
Historic day
She was born at Rikshospitalet in Oslo on January 21, 2004. She was baptized in the Castle Chapel in Oslo by a former bishop, Gunnar Stålsett, and it was His Majesty King Harald who carried her to the baptism.
