EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in Norwegian history as King Haakon VII, the first monarch of an independent Norway following its secession from Sweden in 1905, carries out his royal duties by inspecting a group of eager Boy Scouts. The year is 1957, and King Haakon, born in 1872, is seen here in good health and high spirits, dressed in his military uniform, as he engages with the young scouts. King Haakon's wife, Princess Maud, the daughter of King Edward VII of the United Kingdom, stands by his side, supporting her husband and adding a regal presence to the scene. The crowds of onlookers, some waving Norwegian flags, surround the royal couple, reflecting the deep connection and pride the Norwegian people felt towards their new monarchy. The Boy Scouts, with their uniforms and badges, represent the future of Norway, embodying the values of adventure, self-reliance, and community spirit. King Haakon's interaction with the scouts highlights his commitment to fostering the growth and development of the Norwegian youth. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of historical significance for Norway. The image of the King and his wife, surrounded by the scouts and the enthusiastic crowds, serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring bond between the Norwegian monarchy and its people.
