The large celebration planned for Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s 25th wedding anniversary has been cancelled, according to a report from STERN.de published on Monday, August 24, 2026.
The German outlet, citing the couple’s milestone, said the major festivities will not take place as originally expected. The report did not provide a reason for the cancellation or specify whether a smaller, private event would be held instead.
The couple married on August 25, 2001, meaning their silver anniversary falls this week. The news comes just days before the official date, with no further details on any revised plans from the Norwegian royal household.
STERN.de’s report focuses solely on the cancellation of the large-scale event, leaving questions open about how the royal couple will mark the occasion privately. The palace has not yet issued a public statement on alternative arrangements, according to the article.
For now, royal watchers will have to wait for an official announcement on whether any scaled-down commemoration will take place. The next update from the Norwegian court is likely to clarify the situation.
