The Crown Prince and Crown Princess, who had just been to Clarence House to meet The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, said they've had an interesting conversation and that it was great to get to know the Prince and Duchess better. The Crown Prince also added that he particularly admired Prince Charles's work with his charity the Prince's Trust.
The Queen of Norway and The Crown princess also talked about the launch of a Norwegian anthology by contemporary writers on Wednesday. HM Queen Sonja said it had been great to help promoting Norwegian literature in the UK and, in addition to meeting Norwegian authors, it had also been "a fantastic experience to meet Doris Lessing".
HM King Harald, who earlier on Wednesday had been to New Scotland Yard for a briefing was asked about his thoughts around the issues of terrorism. The King said he had been given an insight into the work carried out in the UK to defeat terrorism and he underlined the good cooperation Norway and UK had together on this matter. "The world needs to come together to fight terrorism," The King concluded.
The King also praised his host, HM Queen Elizabeth and said: "The Queen is a role model for all of us - she has done great work for the UK and the monarchy."
