He is the first prince born in Norway for 567 years. Her Majesty Queen Sonja became Norway’s first queen for 53 years on 17 January 1991. She is patron or president of a large number of organizations and institutions and participates actively in meetings and conferences in the palace and elsewhere.
The royal visit to the Norwegian Christian Home and Health Center will give the King and Queen an opportunity to tour the newly constructed skilled nursing facility, which will begin operations on November 1st.
Among those welcoming the royal couple will be chairman of the board George Jensen, executive director Michael Doherty and members of the Center’s Board of Directors.
The royal visit to the Norwegian Christian Home and Health Center is the first in a series of celebrations to commemorate the completion of the Center’s much anticipated construction project, concluding with the Grand Opening in June of next year, which will be their
100-year anniversary.
