EDITORS COMMENTS
In August 1969, Queen Elizabeth II and her family embarked on an unofficial visit to Norway, marking a significant moment in the relationship between the two monarchies. The photographs captured during this visit offer a glimpse into the warm and friendly interactions between the British and Norwegian royal families. The series begins with the Queen and Prince Philip's arrival in Bergen, where they were greeted by King Olav and other members of the Norwegian royal family. The welcoming ceremony was filled with joy and warmth, reflecting the long-standing ties between the two countries. Next, the royal families visited Trollhaugen, the residence of Edvard Grieg, the famous Norwegian composer. The Queen, intrigued by the history and significance of the place, bravely walked down a steep cliff to look at the hut at the edge of the lake where Grieg had done much of his composing. Her determination and curiosity were evident as she took in the breathtaking views and absorbed the rich cultural heritage of Norway. Prince Charles and Princess Anne were also seen taking a leisurely walk in Old Bergen, exploring the historic city and enjoying the picturesque surroundings. The Queen, too, was seen strolling down the cobblestone streets of Old Bergen, taking in the sights and sounds of the charming town. These photographs provide a unique insight into the informal and friendly nature of the visit, showcasing the warmth and camaraderie between the royal families of Britain and Norway. The 1969 visit remains an important chapter in the history of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and these images serve as a testament to the enduring bond between them.
